So, this was a morning. My car is under recall and I was lucky enough to get an appointment for an inspection of it this morning. Turns out, it failed said inspection and has been deemed unsafe to drive. The needed parts are on order and won't come in till next week. I am driving to Tennessee tomorrow to spend Christmas with my family and I, of course, do not own another car. Subaru was as nice as could be and gave me a brand spanking new 2012 Outback as a loaner until my car is fixed. Yay!
Looks like civilization finally caught up with us.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Allyson, I'm getting a "you don't have permission to look at this" on the gingerbread house pic.
I have achieved upright-ness! And I ate half a piece of toast and a bite of banana. Baby steps back towards feeling like someone didn't run me over with a truck...

Yay for baby steps, Jessica. May you continue to improve.
ChiKat, I'm glad Subaru is treating you well. Hopefully your car will be fixed in a jiffy or at least by the time you return.
CJ is off with his dad, Christmas shopping. I gave him a few suggestions, so who knows what he will end up finding (and what is dad will be willing to pay for).
I want to take a nap.

I also couldn't see the gingerbread picture.
I've finished my work for the week and billed my hours. Now I just have to find the Christmas presents that I squirrelled away a couple months ago.

Art Crawl!!!
I couldn't see the Gingerbread picture either.
ION, I think my cat may actually be sleeping sitting up.
Well, she's awake (and purring) now. She is preventing me from doing anything by being cute and snuggly on my shoulder.

One of my favorite notions, ever.
A non-vampire reason?
I swear by the spirit of Bela Lugosi, if I ever meet Stephanie Meyer, I am going to (politely!) rip into her about the whole goddamn sparkling vampire thing.

I have not been turned. Yet.
I have so much to do. So I'm sort of sitting here staring at all in bewilderment.

And after you've been turned, I expect a visit so you can turn ME. Then we go turn Cass.
(What? I have a plan.)

I am with you in this. Don't let the bewilderment turn into crying, tho'. That's not such good plan. On the plus side, Pete has informed me that figuring out what we're doing on Christmas morning is no longer my responsibility; he'll figure it out and tell Dad and me what's going on.
Amy - Dec 23, 2011 10:11:51 am PST #12806 of 30001

Go, Pete! Can he come over here and arrange the plans, too?
I sort of assumed you would be turning me, dear, but I'm cool however it works out.
