Oh hey, Amy -- that story about the kid extreme couponing for charity? Blowing UP. [link]
Well, a gathering is brie, mellow song stylings; shindig, dip, less mellow song stylings, perhaps a large amount of malt beverage, and hootenanny, well, it's chock full of hoot, just a little bit of nanny.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm going to hit the meat market in the morning for these awesome stuffed bread concoctions, and then TJs because mum doesn't have that in NH. Then the gun shop for ammunition, because this is the acronym Christmas: DUI & NRA. (I thank the heavens above that big bro isn't abusive).

Because books.
Oh, that's cool, Jesse!
I have so much left to do tomorrow. All the wrapping, cookies, a gingerbread for Christmas dessert, and straightening up around here. A couple days with everyone home and this place looks like a clutter bomb hit.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame
I had planned on printing out the "spring break road trip" stuff for CJ's Christmas present and putting in a binder/report folder for him. Well, I have the file put together, but it is unprinted.
I'm thinking of putting it on a thumb drive and wrapping that up for him. Lazy...but I haven't messed with him on any of his other presents.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Those photos are all adorbs, msbelle.
I finally got my car back around 4pm. The rim was okay, but the alignment needed work. I am now looking at two days with family between driving days instead of the five days originally planned.

Coined tonight: buggle: What happens when you laugh so hard you fart.
Why yes, 11 year old in the house.
Close Friday. Might be sleeping there starting that night.

Sand I just figured out I got my eldest nephew virtually nothing. Sigh. GC to Walmart or best buy tomorrow. In my defense, I got the Tyler list.

My nephew turns 11 today! I'm not sure how that happened. Watching him & my brother goofing around last night ( buggle!) I was struck with holy shit, that's not a little boy AT ALL. He's gonna be as tall as Josh soon. Plus, already signs of teenhood emerging, good and bad.
Both boys start at a new elem. this year ( on account of the move) but D starts middle next.
In moving news, think we may be moving furniture on Xmas... The majority of the boxes are moved, we're living off paper plates and takeout and wine. The adults, with the latter.

not your mom's socks.
good luck with moving, Sarameg!
Whelp. We bought a car-payment last night. The scion came back from repairs after the smooshing the other week and within a day the check engine light went on. Need one reliable car that doesn't suck in weather, my brain said, loudly, and boom. done.
It is dark grey, a forrester with zero options. We have named it Fezzik.
