The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

Im so sorry, msbelle.

I have actually decorated somewhat today. I've put up my grandmother's old creche, and the balsam-and-whatever centerpiece I ordered through the neighbor kid's fundraiser turned out to be unexpectedly lovely.

Speaking of neighbors, my next-door neighbor was mulching his leaves, and as I was leaving to run a quick errand, he offered to mulch up mine, since it would only take him ten minutes. I love my neighborhood.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh! And in going through my bags from Target, I see that I did resist the Disney stickers and got the cute animals instead. Phew!

Floors are clean. Postponing lights until I can get some hangers tomorrow.

BTW, TJs has speculoos now. Cheaper than the Biscoff at Giant, but not sure how it compares to F&E, pricewise of the brand name tastewise.

Discovered I didn't get the tights I meant to at Target. But looking at the receipt, they never made it out of the cart. Oh well, I forgot to get a gift card for my neighbor, too, so I will be going back up there tomorrow. I need to find out if her favorite wine store does gift certs.

I don't remember anybody taking out Aquaman by throwing a clam at his head.

Because books.

I'm sorry, msbelle. That's really hard.

In other news, slumber parties with six little girls? Not for the faint of heart. I keep reminding myself I don't want to go to prison for stabbinating the bossiest, whiniest, loudest, most spoiled of them all.

Oh msbelle.

Hey, anyone wanting a good cry should listen to this piece on Snap Judgement (I love this show more and more every week) : [link]

My older sister's first slumber party (which was the first slumber party that our parents supervised, since my sister is their oldest kid), one of her friends had to go to the emergency room. She'd gotten up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom, tripped over something, and hit her head on the wall and was bleeding profusely. A few years later, at my sister's bat mitzvah, this same friend got a head wound again, in a pinata accident.
