Christmas shopping is done!
Secret Santa package is posted!

I hate shopping so much.

Deviled eggs.

Delicious! But too heavy for actually before a full meal. I should have a deviled egg party, though. And my mother does not care what I have, so that's good.

Just got through opening all the t shirts I have ordered CJ over the past year. I have 6 movie related (Hill Valley Time Travel, University of Moria, The Second Breakfast Diner, Stark Industries, Wayne Enterprises, and The Overlook Hotel), 5 TV related (Black Knight model assembly kit, Sherlock, Mudd er Milk, Sunnydale Slayers Club, and Winchester Bros Hunting Company, and 4 misc (Iron Maiden, United States in a periodic table, Zombie Uprising, and an Iron Maiden style shirt but with a Storm Trooper). Now to figure how to wrap them all.

I also discovered that one order is wrong. Ended up with a medium woman's cut of a shirt that says Morro is Metal and an armored hand throwing up the horns with Sauron's eye between the index and pinkie. I waited too long so I can't return it.

Delicious!

Evil!

The Second Breakfast Diner

Emmett and I agree that this is 100% made of awesome and we wish we'd known about it before just this minute.

I'm mostly shopped up, but am going to be slacking my Secret Santee (have a bunch of ideas but haven't narrowed them down, plus the Santee lives in a place not entirely dissimilar to SF so it's a minor challenge to find cool Buffista-worthy things that zie can't already get locally).

Hec is all gifted up and the presents have been approved by both Matilda and Emmett. (I mentioned this to Hec, and he said, "Oh, like they would say anything even if the presents were all wrong! No, actually, Emmett is quite opinionated. And tactless. So, okay.") (Emmett in fact gave everything a hearty high-fiving thumbs-up.)

And now I'm settled in front of the TV, watching old Disney Christmas cartoons and sewing an extension onto Matilda's stocking, which is the same size as the one I grew up with but apparently is too small for these modern times.

I should have a deviled egg party, though.

This needs to happen. But, in a place/time where I can attend and gorge myself on deviled eggs, for lo, they are THE BEST.

Steph and I are one yet again.

The friend of mine that had one for several years either didn't have one this summer, or didn't invite me, so.

Man, I do love this modern world. I always forget to order Christmas flowers for my grandmother, but just remembered to do it, and they will be there on Tuesday, no problem. Just a $5 pre-Christmas upcharge.

And I've now done the one work task I really should have done before I left on Friday, so god willing, I can stop thinking about work now. Now I can start worrying about the huge party my mother is throwing in two weeks.
