No. You're missing the point. The design of the thing is functional. The plan is not to shoot you. The plan is to get the girl. If there's no girl, then the plan, well, is like the room.

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.

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.

Yoiks! That's a good deal of snow, sara! I love the pics you posed before, BTW.
