Buffy reboot back in limbo: [link]
I love how the heights and relative sizes in that photo have no relationship to reality. Looking good, Seth.
This is so nice. Having everyone together for my birthday. Of course, you could smash in all my toes with a hammer and it will still be the bestest Buffy Birthday Bash in a big long while.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
I got Kristen a meat tenderizer that is brass knuckles with the flat spiky back so you can punch your chicken flat.
We thought of you, ita.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Fun prezzie, Allyson!
Emmett didn't know he was getting an iPad this year.
But JZ's family stepped up and pooled their resources to get him something nice since he's been such a trooper about the very early morning commutes, plus he's raised his grades and lowered his time in the mile and he's been a great big brother too. He really deserved a treat, and he's pretty ecstatic.
Also JZ got him a t-shirt for the show Archer that says "Grill Me A Cheese" and Emmett assures me that it is the greatest item of clothing he's ever had.
And now he's working on his Pirates of the Caribbean Lego set.

I've been eying that for myself, Allyson. But I keep buying tee shirts instead.

Timelies all. Presents have all been opened, kids are happy with their haul as am I. Now they are at their dad's for their second round of gifts.
CJ got his own laptop (he had my 5 year old laptop for a while and then a laptop borrowed from his dad) and a bunch of nerd shirts (thinkgeek.com, woot.com, teefury.com and lolshirts.com are great sources). K-Bug got her KitchenAide mixer and she is quite excited. With that big gifty, she didn't get a whole lot else from me, so I tried to throw her off by wrapping a thing of sugar and a thing of flour. She figured out the mixer just from opening the sugar.
I have no pictures, alas. I need to be better about that. With them gone for now, I'm just chilling and watching It's a Wonderful Life.

Merry Christmas.
We opened presents at my sister's at 6a, slept some, came over to the hospital around noon. They all went back home, and I'm hanging here through dinner, then back. Am so sleepy. Had fun opening my Mom's to and from stuff here. She is doing great, and word is she may be able to go home tomorrow with an oral regimen. That would be awesome.
Love all the pix people are sharing here, FB, etc. Ah, the modern era.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
We had deer come and visit us in my sister's back yard for Christmas.

Good news, Jen.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
I'll post more when I'm off the iPhone, but our Christmas included a little boy jumping out of his skin with delight at being confronted with five Ryans, and a rainbow over the jetty. It was a very good Christmas.

Finally talked with my dad. Not sure why it was so hard to connect with him before now but we had a good talk. He got our present to him and his wife and apparently our presents are still in the mail.
Kids are still gone. Was hoping they would get back earlier enough that we could go to the movies.
