I wonder what happened to our old nativity scene. It wasn't anything remarkable, paper mache and plaster from a 5 and Dime back in the '50s, and most of the farm animals has lost at least one leg. But I loved arranging and rearranging and admiring the robes on the Kings. I hope my sister with the grandkids has it.
These are stone killers, little man. They ain't cuddly like me.

I love the movable nativity, that rocks. I have a nativity from when I was a kid that I made of, um, literal rocks. But I didn`t set it up this year. I am feeling like the only unfestive one. My neighbor decorated this year, because he got married. Heh.

But I`m happy anyway because I am drinking herb tea in front of the fire. And I restacked the firewood today so my deck rack is full and my back is tired. And I have cookies my mom sent me and I got $100 from my part-time job boss and I`m on winter break! Whoo.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
My parents have one my grandfather carved, which is beautiful, along with one made of that yarn-in-plastic-grid stuff, which is the moving one -- the little Jesus doll fits right up inside Mary!

Hilarious! And my mother said, out of the blue, "Tom Champion hasn't called!" I was like, I KNOW WHO THAT IS FROM THE INTERNETS.

I switched the "one" and "my" on first reading and was slightly boggled.

Mmm.... french toast with a little orange zest (not what nora meant, but still a yummy thought).
My 2 week headache has indeed persisted. this was not made better by the fact that we took Noah and a friend (J who is 20 months) to the aquarium today. Noah outzinged J in terms of hour for hour running. This is perhaps why my fry guy is so little? There was a lot of carrying and running and general stress. Tonight (J stayed with us from 7:30 until 6:00) there was a screaming contest in the car. Color me unthrilled.
