Weekend:
Tonight: Watch DVDs and have some cocktails
Tomorrow: Go to MiL's for homemade lasagna (she usually has it for Christmas Eve and freezes one for New Year's Day but we were out of town for CE and I was laid up on NYD so we get it now)
Sunday: Nothing - yay!

I'm trying to put together a list of all my DVDs so I'll have them for insurance purposes. It's actually pretty hard to recall exactly what's at home!! I think I'll print out this (definitely partial) list and then check it against my shelves. I should also update my Library Thing account with my book purchases of the past year. Oh, and come up with a similar list of my CDs while I'm loading them onto my MP3 player.

Now I've got my laptop, I can finally download my digital camera software on it and run around taking pictures of all my stuff for my renters' insurance. I read all these stories about people's houses/apartment buildings going up in flames (especially at this time of year), and freak out about my policy coverage.

OK, anyone know what's going on with the group of people behind Blagojovich in the picture with this article? [link] There's a man glaring at him, a woman clutching her purse, another woman wearing snow boots, a bored-looking toddler, and a baby lying face-down on the floor. Huh?

I need to find my Flip. I can't remember where I last saw it or when I used it last.

New Momhood may explain Ms. Alba's grooming lapses. I'll give her a pass.

DAMN! My new tea came in from Teavana but my tea bags are back ordered and I can't find my infuser. I refuse to go Old School and suck leaves.

Maybe a bit of cheese cloth?

OK, anyone know what's going on with the group of people behind Blagojovich in the picture with this article?

That is one fantastic picture. It's like he told someone to round up a demographically diverse group of people at random and stuck them in the corner of that room, without telling them why they were there.

To tout his accomplishments in that area, he brought to the dais with him a dozen Illinois residents whom he said he had helped get health care. They included a man in a wheelchair wearing a neck brace and two toddlers who were crying in the background throughout the proceedings.

The NYT reporter doesn't seem impressed.

He talked about them in his speech.

Ah, OK. More than skimming the article would have helped.

I think the interpretation of "The governor says youze gotta stand right there and keep quiet" is applicable as well.

Neat. Michelle Obama's mother is going to live in the White House, at least for a few months. [link] (And two of the first twenty comments are complaining about this being "at taxpayer expense." Sigh.)
