Yeah, bon bon's tree saga is why we switched to an artificial tree several years back. Eff that noise!
Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

bon, I'd offer to lend you a saw (we have two... I misplaced one and when we got our tree this year, had to buy another then found the original saw), but I see you've got it all worked out.
I sewed a whole bunch of 2x2 pads for under Grace's trache yesterday and now I can't find them. GROWL. So we went to the fabric store, bought more fabric to try it all again today. And I'm making PJs for everyone for xmas eve. I'm an idiot.
I blame watching DIY Yard Crashers at the gym for my need to do shit like this. WTF?!

I hope Hubby is up to wandering the mall on Christmas Eve again. It's one of our favorite Christmas traditions.

Balls. I just spent $400 on a new sink faucet, and now the drain for my washing machine has come apart and spewed water all over my garage floor.
My garage that has many boxes of books in it.
Damn it. Time to call the plumber again.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Oh 'suela, no! Not the books! May the plumbing PTB smile kindly on you.
Thanks for the suggestions, people! H informs me our blender has a juicing attachment, but also that the clementines are very juicy, with very thin membrane between the sections. Peel and blend and freeze it is!
My house is about to smell like a citrus grove.

I have the Xmas plague. I really want to be home in my own bed. (I'm at my parents'.)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I gave up without really finishing cleaning and without wrapping anything, and am doing my nails and watching Ides of March. Not Christmassy, but I always meant to see it. I don't understand why Love, Actually isn't on demand!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I feel bad for all the sickies, and hope everyone has gotten where they are going!

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Today I deposed the tree, ran a personal fastest seven miles, and went to a car stereo place to get bob's gift (a car stereo with aux and USB). I don't know which one of those was hardest.
