Because in my household procrastination is a refined art form, I am buying my parents' Christmas gifts today. My mother is the most difficult person on earth to shop for, I'm sure. I know she really likes this relatively expensive moisturizer - is that an acceptable gift? It feels really dull to me, but I do know she likes it.
Very convincing. Makes me completely want to put myself under government control. Please take me to where you can make me unconscious and naked.

Merry Christmas to me! I have finally cleared all my projects, turned on the out of office, ordered a ham as big as my head, and, to fulfill a promise to myself that I whiffed on this summer, rented this place for a week in July: [link]

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Through a combination of cordless drill, hammerS, wedge, screwdriver and brute force, we've got most of the nails out. Seven nine- inch nails seem a little excessive for a disposable stand.

I still haven't bought my Dad a Hanukkah present, and that was over a week and a half ago! I figure he was raised Catholic, so technically I can get him a Christmas present and not be late.

Have they ever put together a bicycle in the middle of the night? That's when I learned that Santa swears.
zuiza, if it's an expensive moisturizer and she has any remnants of puritan guilt, she probably feels vaguely guilty buying it and would think it's a great present. I once gave my mother 12 bars of Dove soap, so what do I know?

Yes, we have taken it off the cross. It yet lives!
That's probably more the true meaning of Easter.

Tim made a joke last night about Easter and a Lazarus Pit.* This proves that I have REALLY succeeded in (1) making him a more blasphemous person and (2) info-dumping Batman knowledge into his brain.
*(A Lazarus Pit is what R'as al Ghul [and other characters] has used to rise from the dead. Repeatedly.)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
OK! I have had choir practice, finally went to the new burger place on my corner, been to the post office, and definitely DEFINITELY finished Christmas shopping. Now I'm going to sit for a while, then I will clean and wrap.
