Kaylee: So, uh, how come you don't care where you're going? Book: 'Cause how you get there is the worthier part.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

In our house you have to believe if you want a stocking. And Santa presents. Don't care if it is "wink-wink" or not. Each Christmas morning, the kids are awakened (or signaled that they can emerge from their rooms) by the sound of Santa's sleigh bells.

With us being away from home this year, the kids are getting mini stockings and I'm considering packing the bells with me, just to keep up tradition.

Art Crawl!!!

I liked those retellings.

Lazy, lazy Saturday today. I actually woke up at quarter to six, fed the cat, took my meds, made tea and toast, played on the internet and then went back to bed and slept 'til 11 something.

Now tagless for your comfort.

We got here with his playdate and the friend made a comment that they already have presents under their tree ( we don't b/c mac FREAKS out and basically cannot handle the idea of presents coming in the future, must less actually see them and have to wait).

Someone on my Twitter feed was angry that her three year old had opened her presents under their tree. Why would you tempt a three year old with presents under the Christmas tree TWO WEEKS before Christmas? I sent her link to the marshmallow experiment. We still have no gifts under our tree because I KNOW Owen would have them all opened.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

This sounds so COMPLETELY AWESOME - I really hope NASA bites:

Proposal to send "boat" to explore Titan's seas:

The concept will be suggested to the US space agency for one of its future mission opportunities that will test a novel power system.

It would be the first exploration of a planetary sea beyond Earth.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Wow, an active male rugby player came out. That takes serious stones.

We had a rugby league player come out in the 90s, Ian Roberts [link] Possibly against expectations, the rugby league fraternity was pretty supportive. He finished his career playing in North Queensland, which is not known for progressive social views. I think he did a great deal of good in that regard.

I'd like to see someone come out in a sport with a large black contingent.

I really want to see those.

I'm at my parent's for the holidays. I tried listening to an audiobook of A Confederacy of Dunces on the bus, but I kept falling asleep and drifint in and out of the plot. I listened to almost 5 hours, but probably only heard 90 minutes.

By the time the snowpocalypse reaches here, were supposedly only getting trace amounts of snow, then rain. I did not bring footwear for a green Xmas.
