This girl at school? She told me that gelatin is made from ground-up cow's feet and that every time you eat Jell-O there's some cow out there limping around without any feet. But I told her that I'm sure the cow is dead before they cut its feet off, right?

Just got the tickets for The Hobbit tomorrow on the theatre website. Reserved seats in the front row handicapped section. Truly we live in a golden age.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

DH and I just watched the first three eps of the new Community,

So jealous. So very jealous.

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.

SO HAPPY!!! SO VERY HAPPY!!!

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

The child is in no hurry to go to bed. meanwhile I still need to clean up his gift and wrap it. I m not pushing to hard though, because I think this may mean that he will sleep in a bit and since I am setting my alarm, I might actually get some breakfast cooked before mom and dad come over for gifts.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

We had a very nice Christmas eve dinner where I almost ate the bouquet garni. Christmas cracker crowns all around and very cheery. Emmett's sleeping on the couch and Matilda is on a pile of blankets beside him, in the glow of the Christmas tree.

We had pears poached in caramel sauce for dessert which was just as good as it sounds.

We ate lots of shrimp and watched Hysteria. And drank wine. Good Christmas Eve

We had a nice vegetarian dinner with multiple dogs almost behaving themselves: [link]

Now I'm off to bed so I can get up early for what promising to be a long and possibly exhausting day. I wonder if I can schedule a nap for early afternoon...

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

So many dogs!

And almost behaving! Really, it's so hard to get them all still long enough for a photo, I'm okay with the Big Guy being rolled over like that...

And yes, we have a lot. My sister has two, I have one, my Dad has one. My oldest brother has two, and my middle brother has two. Which means that the dogs in the family I grew up in (not counting offspring and spouses) outnumber the people...

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Hey, BT! Merry Christmas!

Hi Scrappy! We're currently holidaying down at Phillip Island. Penguin parade tonight. I've been keeping an eye out for Hemsworths but no sightings so far.
