Ha HA! I believe everything is wrapped, and I learned that I have a hip-hop remix of Wham's "Last Christmas." Yeah, I don't know. The other day's discovery was "Me and Mrs. Claus," ala "Me and Mrs. Jones." Good times.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

OK, seriously -- Mila Kunis is in a movie with Oscar buzz, and Mena Suvari is guest-starring on basic cable? Who would have predicted that ten years ago?

This Xmas is quite the clusterfuck. After supper tonight we discovered that my dad didn't buy anything for my mom. Rather, he did not appoint one of his daughters to buy something for him. He thought I was buying her something, because I had overbought and told my sister I had an extra book that dad could give her. Somehow, this got mistranslated as I was buying her entire present. So, my sister and I were off to the mall, again.
Also, I have wrapped my presents, my parent's presents, and present's for two of my sisters. I have used every box in the house, and almost all the gift tags. I am glad I am organized, because everyone else is slacking this year.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I seem to be paralyzed by the fear that I might have bought more presents for Niece#1 than Niece#2. And not enough presents for Niece#2. Even though all she wants is cash, I can't give her MORE cash than I give Niece#1. The cash and the gifts must balance, else there will be a disturbance in the Force and unruhe in the household.
Can I have that drink yet?

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Christmas at our house has been a series of first world problems -- too many cookies, post party depression, forty ungraded tests, three broken laptops, two unusable ipods, one stand mixer gift I actually don't need! (to the tune of...) But I still don't have to go to the inlaws for the holiday so I guess I win.

I had a nice lunch and a nap and I started laundry and drank tea and read a story, and now we're going to see The Fighter (I would much rather see The King's Speech but I'm not the social secretary here) and then out for late pizza.
Ooof. Too much excitement after all the sitting-on-the-futon I have been doing the last week.

The Complete Wire is very tempting for me. But I am torn...trying not to spend money. Ach!

But it's on sale. . . of course, it might be even more on sale after Christmas.

I'm considering making eggnog, which I have never done before. Is [link] a reasonable looking recipe? I will be using rum in place of brandy, and my sugar is not superfine.

It's really on sale right now...even after all the stupid shipping and duty, it's still under $100 for me. And it's $149 at Amazon.ca.
