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.

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.

now you have stardust pumping through your veins

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.

I have not been turned. Yet.

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.

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.

If he didn't have other stuff to do, Pete could arrange plans for EVERYONE. He's very good at it.

As long as we end up vampires and start our life of crime, I don't really care how we get there.

I have been pretty productive while waiting for my friend to get ready for us to go out shopping again today. I emailed her well over 2 hours ago. wtf. why put off shopping this late?!? it is going to be cold and dark.

anyway, I got stockings up and two areas decorated and a few presents wrapped and 3 things mailed and am about to get 1 more mailed. I do love printing out my own postage from usps. so much better than lines. Depositing checks from home also kinda rocks.
