I'm going to see to Wesley, see if he's still whimpering.

Oh, phoo. That's Koch Brothers toilet paper.

You know, as much as I want to wipe my ass with the Koch Brothers, I will not allow them to profit from it.

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

What dogs want.

So true. I will note, many of those were stinky.

information libertarian

The kids have opened their Christmas Eve presents - fleece balaclavas that make them look like ninjas and wish for snow so they could go skiing (they have never been skiing) and A Child's Christmas in Wales illustrated by Trina Schart Hyman. We have also done our traditional read of The Tailor of Gloucester. No more twist!

EM has laid out a lovely antipasti tray, and most of the prezzies are wrapped. Nibbling on prosciutto and roasted peppers and fancy cheese.

We've wrapped Emmett's gift in a sneaky sized Disney box.

JZ and Matilda are off to Children's Mass with the xmas pageant/parade.

Dinner will start at 6 or 7.

Tom and I have continued our laaaaaaaaazy day. But I did make a spinach lasagna! It's cooling now. I'll go over to feed smonster's kitties soon, but other than that, it's all very low key.

hip deep in pie

So it's not a scandal yet, but it could be. I am staying in a room where my 15 YO nephew often stays. He is our only nephew and my family think he walks on water. Anyway, as I was wrapping gifts, I discovered, not very well hidden, a mouth guard case, the type a 15 YO hockey player would have. In the case, GIRL'S PANTIES. (I assume they belong to a girl, not him.)

I don't really know what to do. Should I bust him, and keep it our little secret? Should I pretend I never saw them and hope he retrieves them before his grandmother does and has an aneurysm? Or should I just destroy the evidence and pretend it never existed?

(He is forever losing keys and leaving things behind, so it's possible he hid them and forgot about them entirely.)

Trust my rage

I think if it were me, I would give them to him and tell him to hide them better. Or just leave them. But I wouldn't bust him because, well, to me, it's his own private business.

That's what I meant by bust him. I think he'd be just as unhappy to be found out by one of his aunts.

not your mom's socks.

I love the 12 days of buffistamas.

We have survived the Eve. New Zealand reported that santa is traveling our way.
