Kat, I can totally see that. Hell, I put chocolate and cinnamon in my black bean chile soup. But it still scares me. I have weird sweet-savory issue, as in I don't like lobster or crab because of their balance.

I'm feeling all christmasy, but it feels a week late, even though christmas is a week away.
N & G have a big to-do on Friday. Both classes were asked to bring 150 bottles of water. HOW is that possible ? How many people are coming to watch kids recite the Gingerbread Man? But I do have 70 bottles of water in my car. Yay environmental nightmare.
Also, I'm supposed to bring a multicultural dish. What should I bring? K said since I'm german/czech, I should bring corn dogs from weinerschneizel.Sigh. Thought kids would be happy with that.

I'm sorry, Jesse. I remember when you got Homer.

Just lost the Little Drummer Boy game--to some marching band Hubby's watching on TV, with a very enthusiastic drum line. It doesn't sound very good on trumpets etc.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I'm feeling all christmasy, but it feels a week late, even though christmas is a week away.
I am feeling all humbugy. I wasn't, but then one of the secretaries walked into my office and asked me to give her money for a gift for office services, since they work for everybody but nobody in particular and she didn't want them to be the only one in the office not getting gifts or cards from the people they work for. Okay. a) I gave them my end of the year thank you gift two weeks ago, and b) seriously? You're standing there saying this to the librarian?
On a better note, have I mentioned here that my niece had spinal surgery today? Because she did (for Scoliosis), and everything looks good so far. YAY.

I think I won the Christmas song game for good yesterday. While driving I thought "I haven't heard 'Step into Christmas' in ages, and I really like that song," then spun the dial and there it was.
Also, there was actually a time when people thought Elton John might be straight? Exactly how many drugs were people doing back then? [link]

ooooh, Lee, good thoughts for your niece. I remember when my cousin was in a body cast because of scoliosis. I hope your niece's treatment is less itchy.
