Man, I am so continually dehydrated. I dunno what's up with that. I cannot get enough to drink. And I'm at the ER, so they're about to make that worse. But I do really like the little bottles of apple juice.

I can overhear a cop talk about double tap training. Shoot till they're down. Don't shoot unless you want them not to get up.

No xmas parade this year. We will miss it but Vacation!

Aw! Then I won't bother. Even if it isn't as cold this year.

Yeash, I slept with both arms stretched above my head for reasons unexplained. Achy, achy.

That's killer on the shoulders.

Dehydration is bad.

Nudgy students re: papers is very bad (I'm up at 4 AM grading).

msbelle, I cannot picture the image you are looking for and the only platinum blonde model from the 80s I can really recall is Sara Stockbridge, but she wasn't pixie cut.

Who's doing an Advent Caledar this year? We just started our Playmobil calendar last night and Matilda is jazzed about it.

B. has a Lego Star Wars, C. has a Playmobil. Made just down the road from our house!

We never had Advent calendars when I was a kid. I swear, my parents were the most unimaginative couple ever, who pretty much thought that if they provided a backyard and a swingset their kids were set for entertainment forever after.

I updated Dylan's iPod with the Angry Birds Seasons Christmas level that opens like an Advent calendar. Since we're Jewish, I'm assuming that's close enough?

I'm enjoying the Advent calendar over at Sherlockology. [link]

My mom just called, which got my heart racing. I thought something had gone awry with my dad. But no. She forgot about the time difference.

Because I never had one, I think tha advent calendars with stuff in them are So Fancy! I always had just paper, and the good ones had a picture inside the little doors that went with the overall picture.

Oh, family.
