The Indian restaurant LIED, so I had a movie hot dog and saw the early show of How Do You Know? instead.
Hell, I don't know. If I had wanted schooling, I'da gone to school.

Trust my rage
My Christmas Eve ended sort of rough when I woke up puking in the middle of the night. However, it has only gotten better from there as I have watched the kids open tons of presents and enjoy everything. We have eaten our Christmas dinner and are now just relaxing. The kids are watching Nemo and I'm just chilling, hoping my stomach is back to normal. Unfortunately, Joe has not been able to call us due to the phone being out and Skype apparently not working.

Can Joe try gmail's video chat feature?
We watched THE Star Wars. mr. flea became a 9 year old boy before my eyes. We hope to keep the children from the knowledge of Jar-Jar forever.
I miss my family a bit.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Let's say, hypothetically, that last year I bought a pair of really good snow-mittens for Dylan that turned out to be too big, so I put them in a really really smart place where I'd be sure to look for them again this year.
Let's also say hypothetically that I've already looked through both closets and we're expecting almost a foot of snow tomorrow. Argh. Any suggestions?

Do you have a drawer or box of too-big clothes? I would have put them with that stuff, instead of with winter clothes generally.

I did recently rearrange the kids' closet to make room for baby-girl stuff. Hopefully I didn't move the "too big" drawer's contents into the basement storage!

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I had an awesome time at Juliana's this morning with stockings and a rousing game of Taboo, but decided to skip out on the afternoon festivities, before all my energy got replaced by crank, so now I am home and curled up with the cats. All in all, a pretty nice day, even if it was shorter than i hoped.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Sounds like generally a good Christmas in Buffista-ville! I've had a lovely couple of days with family and church and friends and all the food in the world. OMG. Dinner tonight was off the chain -- roast pork, horseradish mashed potatoes, apples with cippolini onions, and a beet salad to start. Yesterday afternoon, the main course was ham, and there was all of the cream cheese spreads in the world before AND after. And my parents are taking me out for fancy birthday dinner tomorrow! I should never eat again.
Also, I am pleased with the now modest state of family gift giving. Everything was great! And my toddler cousin loved the bucket-o-animals I had bought for my grandmother to give to the church toy drive. (She liked it so much, she kept it for my cousin.) So I felt like a double winner!
Good times.
