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.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

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 am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I would like to take this opportunity to point out that Saturday is only the first of the 12 days of Christmas.
