So far, my bestest prezzie has been not having to go in to work.
I second this.
Lorne: You know what they say about people who need people. Connor: They're the luckiest people in the world. Lorne: You been sneaking peeks at my Streisand collection again, Kiddo? Connor: Just kinda popped out.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Woman knocks down pope at Mass; Christmas celebrations begin
Heh. It's like the Running of the Bulls - Christmas hasn't truly begun until the Knocking Down of the Pope....
At least he wasn't hurt.

Watching "Stephen Fry In America". Very low key and cool.

The status is NOT quo.
If you left now, you'd miss my tasty, juicy turkey!

somehow, methinks the turkey is not what's keeping him there {grin}
My xmas gift was to make it through a full night with zero nartoctics, just ani-inflamatories and ambien. i am, however, EXHAUSTED still, as i was all day yesterday. wondering if this is the "grogginess" of which the label spoke, and why it lasts more than 20 hours. bleargh. at work now, muddling things up, wondering if it's better to be alert and potentially getting addicated to narcotics or falling asleep in my seat on the after-effects of ambien. (sure, a speed recovery would be best of all, but the healing she is slow.)

Speaking of turkeys...Major holiday fail.
Just as I began my highly anticipated cooking and cleaning frenzy, I sliced into the fingernail of my pinky. Bonus: right hand Bummer: How will I ever debone this 20lb bird one handed? Bonus: Not so much blood. Weirdly, the cut is only through the nail and beneath. Bummer: How long will it take the grow out the nail? Lordy. I'll need to bandage it for months.
And whoever thinks dogs aren't keyed into their person's state, might be interested. As I stood in the bathroom, successfully talking myself out of shock symptoms, (the most prominant being nausea), Bartleby walked to the bathroom door and promptly barfed.
Even though I'm mostly okay now, he's still a bit on edge.
How am I going to chop the lbs and lbs of veggies I had planned to stew tonight?
I normally take great pride in my knife skills...
Fuss and bother.

ugh, {{{bonny}}}. much sympathy. i cut through a nail a cuple weeks ago and it is so much more unpleasant than a normal flesh cut. Plus, the skin beneath is all nerves and way more painful than other parts of the finger. Bonus: pinky nails are shorter so should grow out more quickly? Good time to invest in wee bandages:/

way more painful than the rest of the finger.This!
Sympathy gratefully accepted. And amen to the bandages.
Since I'm committed to finishing this turkey tonight, the pinky is currently swaddled in gauze, taped over with sports tape and covered with one finger of a latex glove.
Alleve helped me get past the initial owey but every time I bump it I am give to snapping,"fuss and BOTHER."
OTOH (see what I did there?), typing with nine fingers is totally doable. Not as hard as expected.

As long as you are careful to hit return with a different finger! LOL. Yeah, mine smarted for a few days now i don't even know it's there until the bandaid falls off and the rough edge snags on something. Double bother! (and great dinner trick: announce a prize for whoever finds the end of your finger in their soup. then laugh maniacally.)
