My presents are all wrapped! Which means it's time to go drink!

My mother is here! I am contemplating the wine right now!
I am very tired, having done stuff all day, and now I still have to cook dinner and deal with presents and stuff.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
The tree is decorated, the presents are all wrapped, the dogs are walked and fed, dinner is cooked, and lumieres are lit. Now 'tis time to eat!

Oh, dear. I just glanced at my bag of dark-chocolate covered coffee beans and thought, very clearly, "Come to me, my precious."
I may have A Problem.

DH and I just watched the first three eps of the new Community, and OMG you guys, my show is BACK! Dan Harmon in the driver's seat and suddenly all the characters have shaken off the off-ness of last season and are back to being themselves.
YAY!

Sausage rolls are made, potato-ham-cheese bake for tomorrow's brunch is assembled. Next I make sausage stuffing, and then I go get ready to go to a party. When we come home, I wrap Pete's presents.
Yay productivity? I'm also tormenting Pete with my choices in holiday music: first it was John Denver and the Muppets, and now it's the Haunted Mansion Christmas.

Speaking of Christmas, here's a totally awesome flashmob (for anyone who didn't see it on GSHT):

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Glad to hear it, Jessica! I was pretty sure that's what would happen, but it's nice to hear from the voice of experience, as it were.
I swear I've been productive today, but no one would be able to tell by looking at the results. So it goes. I can see the difference, because I'm all calibrated to the Before status.

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo
Ohmygod! Did you all read Linda Holmes's post about enthusiasm and learning to avoid narrowcasting? My favorite part:
Fall in love with things. Try things; dislike some of them. Love people who love things you can't imagine loving. Be thirsty and brave. Accept that if narrowcasting really is the future, considering what you don't love to be a threat to what you do is a fool's errand that will exhaust you and require you to police the joys of others in a way that will distract you from your own.
So worth a read: [link]
