Feels like déjà vu. Pretty sure someone every year at the holidays does that...
I like pancakes 'cause they're stackable. Ooo, and waffles 'cause you can put things in the little holes if you wanted to.

Ugh. $266 if I want to change my flight to fly home tonight. But if they cancel for weather tomorrow, well, sucks to be me and they won't give me jack.

Merry Christmas, Buffistas!
I went running with my sister & nieces & dogs, and while we didn't get too wet (it's rainy here), I'm freezing. Now huddled in my bathrobe while the house warms up. Then back up the hill to help get the turkey in the oven, and do gifts.
I already got my best gift, I think: a nice bottle of Glenfiddich from my sister. Last year she gave me Glenlivet, and I only finished the bottle over Thanksgiving.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Oh meara, that bites.
We had an excellent Christmas dinner (duck for me and Emmett, cioppino for the women folk), and slept over at EM's house. Christmas morning was very sweet with many handmade gifts and thoughtful ones.
Emmett's comment (in a tone of wonderment) upon receiving his cool new GG Bridge sneakers, "I said I liked them and you got them for me!")

not your mom's socks.
Happy Holidays for those as celebrate!
What's fun: friends and family. Happy kid.
What's not: the relative who made jokes about kids still believing in Santa in front of HPF. Relatives also wanted to be here for present opening, so we agreed to fend her off until 9am from everything but Santa presents. They showed up at 11am, expecting breakfast.
I am zen. Really.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Merry Christmas, y'all. I am preparing to open my yuletide story.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
I would pony up, meara. I heard they just upgraded the winter storm warning to a blizzard warning in Indy. I know you have family so you wouldn't be stuck at a hotel, but the aggravation might be worth that price.

Happy Christmas, all. It snowed amazingly yesterday, and enough sun has poked through to mostly melt the roads and walkways, which is all I ask of winter in Utah.
Sadly, my stomach doesn't seem to handle grease too well anymore, so the Christmas morning bacon is not the unalloyed delight it should be.
