Deena, tell Kara that the Prep & Landing Elves are going to make a reconnoiter and will make sure she's snug before the Big Guy comes.
Liv is watching The Grinch and told me that when she's mad, her heart is too small.
On my seventh birthday, I wanted a toy fire truck, and I didn't get it, and you were real nice about it, and then the house next door burnt down, and then real firetrucks came, and for years I thought you set the fire for me. And if you did, you can tell me!

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I'm cleaning for Christmas.
Scrubbed out the fridge in preparation for EM's arrival, and all the seafood she's bringing for Christmas Eve Dinner.
It'll be Zmayhem plus EM, JZ's mom, and our friend Beth. Seven will be a little crowded around our kitchen table but we've done it before.
EM will sleep over and we'll have Christmas Day together. Later in the early afternoon we'll all head to the East Bay to see JZ's extended family and more eating. Then back home, jiggity jig. For collapsing and (hopefully) Matilda contentedly playing with her haul. EM got her a big wooden dollhouse, and little dollies that go inside and the kitchen set and the bedroom set that go with it. Pretty extravagant.
All presents are got and most are wrapped and many are under the tree. Stockings are stuffed. I just need a little more cleaning off the kitchen table and the bathroom floor.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Aims, do you need some Paypal to get you through til it's fixed? E me.
Thank you, but our Director and CFO busted ass and got us all wire transfers and will be reimbursing everyone any fees that arose from this clusterfuck.
ION, know what smells bad? When you open a whole chicken that sat out all night. 'Scuse me while I a) go throw up and b) figure out what to do for dinner now.

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

Trust my rage
Aims, Im impressed with your director and CFO. It makes me happy to hear they came through
Ellie got a dollhouse too! We've been doing a present a day since we got to my parents'. That has really helped with the kid/present hype.

Not a bad plan when they're little. We open one small present the night before Christmas.
In the morning we all do stockings first, presents all around, breakfast and then stupor.

We do this, except it goes stockings, breakfast, presents. I think this tradition developed largely because my mom rarely had time to get everything wrapped before breakfast on the day.
