Jeez, Perkins. Wanker.
We don't put presents under the tree until Xmas morning, due to an excess of ribbon-chewing cats.
So that's my dream. That and some stuff about cigars and a tunnel.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
We generally don't put presents under the tree until Christmas Eve or so, due to a lack of time to wrap them prior to that!

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Fabulous, Consuela!

That slow cooker chili sounds great. Oh, and reminds me I was going to make my aunt`s beef stew today. Better thaw that beef.
In worse news, I am super sinusy today. I was yesterday but was hoping it would go away. It didn`t. So I most likely will be spending my holiday with the ick. Waily waily. At least I will hopefully have my Nook? So the seven days I was expecting to spend doing nothing but reading I`ll have an excuse for?

The status is NOT quo.
Hello all! We are in the Fort Lauderdale airport. We had a nice visit with my dad (he got to show off his new townhouse) and are now headed back to SoCal. We fly into the John Wayne airport and then will immediately drive down to the hotel near ND's mom's house in El Cajon for the annual ND's Family Christmas hijinks. No drama ~ma would be appreciated. We get to drive back home and have our own Christmas the night of the 25th (whee!) but then have to go back down to stay with ND's mom NYE and NYD so his sister can go out on the town--which she deserves but is a bit of a bummer. Ah well--I shall treat it as an excuse to work on grading, which I have a HUGE pile of. I also have to write nine college recs before the 1st. Meep.
Everyone needs to be healthy and happy this weekend. I so decree.

I'm in the Raleigh airport, with a gimlet in hand, and a manicure appointment in 5 minutes. Usually I don't go for manicures, as they make my hands feel hot. But since I'm heading to Detroit that's more a feature than a bug today.

Safe travels to Calli, Pix, and ND! And a drama-free Christmas to all.
