Ugh, Ginger, I'm sorry.
Tim Burton and Helena Bonham Carter split up.
I was kind of invested in those crazy kids making a go of it. Weird people being happy together, I find it comforting.
I am out of steam as far as doing work goes, but it is not actually time to go home yet. Oops.
I wish Tim Burton would divorce Johnny Depp.
Oh dear, Ginger! Like you needed one more thing.
I should have known sitting down was a bad idea. Getting back up in 3...2...
Johnny Depp isn't in Big Eyes, is he?
Public rooms more or less vacuumed, cream puffs in the oven.
Cats, dogs, rabbits fed; candles lit; one glass of wine drunk, jar of antipasti opened and ready for dinner.
I have one last present to buy and K-Bug has the bright idea to go to the mall. Wish me whiskey.
I did get out of the house, the cold is finally (shhhhhh), slowly, leaving. We just saw Five Armies.
I'm having some major Xmas-present anxiety -- I want to shit-can the few I've bought, but I despair of finding anything that will be any better.
Even if I had a lot of money, I'd still be stressing, only about much more expensive gifts, like "will my cousin REALLY like the platinum tiara? Maybe I should have gotten her the Hermes scarf instead?" Of course, if I had enough money, I could just give her both....
I've sort of given up on people REALLY liking my presents. I mean, I try to get them something they'll like, and then I just don't worry about it. (Unlike my mother who was just telling me that a certain couple has never displayed her (very personal) wedding gift to them! They have been married 20 years.)
Puffs and pudding ready to be assembled into dramatic dessert in the morning. Popcorn and beer for dinner.
This is exactly why I prefer Thanksgiving to Christmas. Giving gifts is stressful. Right now I'm a little bent out of shape because the rabbits didn't finish their carrots. WHAT IS WRONG WITH MY OFFERING?

That sounds great all around!
Jar of antipasti was tasty but not satisfying. Adding cheese and another glass of wine.
