"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Lowe's is supposed to have their plastic bins on sale right now.

So I bought some TJ's light eggnog earlier in the week and I just broke into it, and I discovered that the reason I like eggnog is because it's all fatty and rich. Light eggnog is... not right.

Bleah. I wonder if I can bake something with it, so I don't end up pouring it down the drain?

Hubby is under the impression that minutes get used even if you have it on, not just when you're getting or receiving a call.

Connie -- What Cashmere said, but: you only use minutes if you're making a call, not if someone else calls you. Or if you send or read a text (I think it's a 1/2 minute per text). The minutes do expire, but when you add more the old ones are extended as well -- basically, when you add time you are adding minutes and extending the expiration date for all your minutes.

Would probably be delightful in pancakes or french toast...

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.

OSH also has plastic storage bins on sale 15% off.

Happy birthday Jesse, Theo and Rayne!

Strongly considering going to this today [link]

Still hanging on with the diet despite holiday temptation all around. We'll see how long that lasts...

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

Oh Jesus. My mom bought Noah a remote control truck. It's fun to play with and a little bit persnickety -- you need greater control than my son can exhibit. I could go outside and yell at him not to crash it into things, which I should. Or I should let him run it around until he breaks it (which is what I'm doing). I'm a bad mom because I don't care if it breaks, and I'm sort of looking forward to it.

The greatest cartoon thing looks fun. But alas, not with my kids.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Holy shiznit, leftover prime rib makes the best steak and eggs ever.

My mouth is so happy.

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

Xmas movie day was a big success. After breakfast at our favorite diner with 10 of us, we saw Tron, True Grit, Black Swan and ended with Love & Other Drugs then a late dinner at Jerry's Deli. A very convivial day and True Grit was WONDERFUL.

The depth of my hate for Black Swan and the passion with which I expounded on it was amusing to all.

Now I am at work, which is less fun, I have to say.

Calli, I'm in the same situation as you. Flight finally got cancelled, I'm not flying back until Tuesday afternoon now.
