Ugh, spent the afternoon shopping for a replacement gift for best friend's wife since my order from Signals that allegedly shipped on 12/3 hasn't arrived yet. Or more accurately, spent the afternoon driving around the mall parking lot looking for a space, as the actual shopping part probably took less than 45 minutes once I made the trek in from Outer Mongolia. If I have to do this again for my family drawing gift next week my new hobby will become giving bad word of mouth on every consumer review website I can turn up on the internets.
We killed a homeless man on this bench. Me and Dru. Those were good times. You know, he begged for mercy, and you know, that only made her bite harder.

I'd like to see someone come out in a sport with a large black contingent.
Dennis Rodman in drag doesn't count, I guess.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
After leaving my cookies out on the counter all day, I just ate one with a broken leg, and it's pretty good! And they are cute enough. So that's good. At my parents, I frosted cupcakes and chopped some stuff, and then we watched half of Seven Brides for Seven Brothers (I typed "Several" the first time, which would have maybe been a funnier movie), and decorated the tree. Nice! Now I just have to remember to bring everything over tomorrow.
Still no snow here.

Jesse, I meant to say yesterday that I love the moving nativity. That is awesome.
Tonight's dinner: ahi tuna w/ shredded carrots in a ginger/garlic/teryaki sauce w/ soba noodles over fresh spinach leaves. Oh, I'm going to love living here. Once all the freaking snow melts. Pretty, but PITA.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Continuing my string on ridiculous holiday specials, I am watching the Thomas Kinkade movie. Snowy days seem to require stuff like this.

I totally copied my mother and put the nativity folks on my bookshelves, too. It's cute!
I just wrapped some presents, so I can bring them over tomorrow, but then I remembered both that I had a concept to bring a big suitcase for Christmas, so I can put everything else in there.

It's totally a lovely tradition!
We used to always read the Jesus story (wtf, I have no idea what else to call it- it was a fairly traditional kid's book, I can even remember the pictures) every Xmas Eve. I think my mom still misses it now that she's the lone christian in a family of the faithless. It was wonderfully written. I should tell her to bring it to read with the boys. It's a nice tradition, regardless of belief.
Jen, after the holidays, I need to have you over. So happy to have you here!
Snow has let up and is vertical for the first time. eta: oops, I lied. That was 10 minutes ago. Is lighter, though.
