And don't you ever stand for that sort of thing. Someone ever tries to kill you, you try to kill 'em right back! ... You got the right same as anyone to live and try to kill people.

I have made fruitcake in the past and brought it to work, and nobody will try it if I say it's fruitcake. If I just leave it out with no note, it goes very quickly.

I make mine with organic dried fruits (cherries, pineapple, currents, raisins) and nuts (mostly almonds & pecans) and soak it for 2 months in port or madeira.

Still sick. What is this, day 8? Such a frelling pain. And the no-knead bread dough didn't rise. And I'm out of oatmeal, so if I want to try again, I will have to leave the house to buy more.

And the dog has an ear infection.

TINO!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Boooo.

I apparently have a cold, and I am Not Pleased. I should be at Macy's, but I can't get off the couch.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

My grandmother made a kickass fruitcake, but of course the fruits in question were Hawaiian and the nuts were macadamia nuts.

My mother worships and adores this kind of fruitcake.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Feel better all sickly Buffistas, and parents of same.

We are off to Ikea for breakfast and maybe to buy a potted plant or maybe even go nuts and buy a rug. Then I have to go to work for a few hours. And buy my assistant a gift, which I have NO IDEA about what to get her. Since she is awesome, I want it to be great.

Cruise around Burbank and buy her a hot rockabilly boy.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I think this weather is affecting my cats. Third day of rain, third day in a row they haven't woken us up with maniacal playing. Makes me sad.

Good. Glad to hear it. There was a giant family lighting the candles today for us. They each read, like, one line. It was very cute.

Add another sickie to the list. I couldn't sleep until about 2am. Breathe or sleep. Such challenging choices.

The kids are off snowboarding, I woke up around 9 and have wrapped a few packages. Exhausted now. Pathetic.
