ooooh! Jealous of the quiet!

I thought about inviting people over for NY, but ugh. So much work.

I should clean out the kids' room today, but also, so much work. Don't want.

I am going to go wild and do crazy things, like ... a jigsaw puzzle! And take a long bath!

Bless McPhee, my place stays pretty clean, so I am not going to do too much for having people over, just pile some stuff in the guest room.

I think I should probably take the big tree down and maybe just leave up the two small ones until the Kings come.

I actually think this is exactly what I need to kick some things into high gear, like rearranging some rooms.

right now I am at that horrible place of refreshing the evite page every 2 seconds, because I am convinced no one will come, because I smell and they do not like me.

I'd come if you weren't in Texas.

Or more specifically, if you were closer. Being in NY wouldn't help me much either.

My big day includes a trip to the library.

I HAVE CABLE!!!! It's a Christmas miracle!!

Yay! Why have you been without? I missed that part.

I was pretty sure my grandmother had been on the same account as my parents, but when I plugged in the box that was here, it didn't work. Meanwhile, my mother decided to switch companies. So that took a couple of weeks, and then another while before she actually went to pick up a second box. I was a little afraid I was going to have to do something with the actual cables in the basement, but no -- they were already hooked up! So with the new box, everything works perfectly. Phew!

I was trying to watch some Netflix stuff on my parents' TV, but my sister had logged into Netflix earlier with her account and hadn't logged off. So I tried to find a "logout" button somewhere, but couldn't find it. After googling, I found that the solution is to press up up down down left right left right up up up up on the remote, and that will open a "do you want to log off?" screen. As far as I can tell, that is the only way to log off.

That's bizarre.
