"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

I also dithered over toys for children I don't know, since I'm going to a concert that's a Toys for Tots benefit tomorrow. By the time I eliminated Barbie, war toys, Disney princesses and things with lots of small parts that I thought the parents would curse me for, there wasn't a lot left. I bought a teddy bear and a "take it with you" Toy Story coloring book.

Toilet insides aren't usually difficult, as long as there's a parts kit that matches. I've had a few older toilets that had insides completely foreign to the hardware store and the plumber.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Basically, but I totally caved. It's a secret santa thing through work, and the girl asked for art supplies or dolls, so I got her the big box of crayons and some paper and just a few Disney princess stickers. On the action figures front, I just couldn't buy anything that came with a big gun.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I bought a set of wooden blocks for Toys for Tots. I'd wanted to get Lego, but the store didn't have any of the big buckets of Lego, just the little kits for making specific things.

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

Tree is up and being decorated.

Matilda and Emmett are both wearing Santa hats. (Hers is pink with a built-in rhinestone tiara.)

Xmas songs are playing.

Hot chocolate will be had tonight.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)

Oh, heck. I forgot about Merriment.

Heh, we haven't left the house since we came back from earlier adventures. I have no idea what to do about dinner... Right now I am eating potato chips and a Dairy Milk.

Oh no, msbelle. Ugh, I'm so sorry.

I'm sorry, msbelle.

What Christmas really means? Hanging of the Drusilla ornament!

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
