I put my little tree up [link] , and am watching White Christmas. Good times. I have a ton of lights, and am trying to decide if I should try to put them in my windows, or if that's just Too Much....

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I got rid of stuff today! 4 formals, 3 vintage and 1 form my college senior ball; and 1 old mouton coat. WHEE! I also put clothes away in my newly really and truly now fixed dresser. YAY!
Also Also packed up the stuff that sold on ebay, that will be 4 boxes out of the closet and will possibly use up all my stashed away packing peanuts. More YAY!
Also Also Also remember that mac has a set of duplo legos he never uses anymore and am gonna list those for sale next.
We went into Manhattan for Ethiopian dinner with friends and my brother and his bf. exchanged gifts with the friends. Our boys behaved lovely while children of a group of what I can only guess where neighborhood families ran wild and shrieked constantly. We heap praise upon praise on our boys when we left. I think mac is still glowing from it.
Filing: done. Christmas shopping: done. Laundry: done. Dishes: done.
Writing: really not done.
I have the dishwasher running, and I got almost all my Christmas shopping done.
I am also sending ita more pictures.
Oops.
You guys are productive!
I forgot to run the dishwasher when I left this morning, bah. Upside: Dishwasher!!
I love my dishwasher. When I didn't have one, I was all, "Pshaw! It's just me; I can wash my dishes myself!" Now? I'll drink wine out of a mug because the wine glasses can't go in the dishwasher.
I really want a dishwasher.
I am thisclose to finishing my Xmas shopping. I just need to get a couple of gift certificates and a little something else for one more person. Of course, this is when my family starts asking me to pick up things for them. I usually don't mind...unless it's really out of the way.
I will either finish my shopping tomorrow in stores or online when I get home tomorrow.
mac needs to go to bed, but that is not something I am going to fight about tonight. I'm sipping on my ginger and whiskey and all is good.
I have to find something for my sister. Something cool, because she was all "what should I get you? you always get me the best presents" and then today announced (on FB) that she had bought my present. Pressure!!
I did not accomplish anything today, but I figure I get a pass because I woke up snuggling with a girl, and took her to brunch, and then had more snuggles. And am going to meet some friends for dinner and a comedy show later. Should be fun.
Need to pack up and send my secret santa present, since I think I've got almost all of it.
I haven't started my shopping yet.
