does that mean people are spending more money this year? or less?

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
I've had peppermint soaked cotton balls work with a minor mouse incursion.

My guess is it might be because of the weekend being so close to Xmas that they expect big crowds yet, not just last minuters.

Because a migraine kept me from eating at my Birthday party last week, friends took me out tonight. Charbroiled Salmon with Creme Brulee for desert. Enjoyed both the dinner and the company. I believe the unofficial translation for Creme Brulee is "goes directly to the hips".

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Today was brunch at Boone Hill, which is one of those halfway-up-the-mountain places, this time next to a teensy river. Food was nice and hearty, and the dessert was good, solid, and Jamacan. Mmm hmm.
I've been discovering an issue with the Teavana brewing travel mug. Heat retention. When I'm out, without my temperature controlled brewing, everything is as close to 212 as it can get, and this shit does not cool down. The tea I brewed in Miami was still hot when I handed it to my father at the front door of our house. Yoinks.
I am wondering--is there a patron saint of kidney stone emergencies? And what kind of appeasement they take? Whatever they need, to back off the 'fistas, I don't care if these are just stats, and our incidence is proportional to the world at large. I don't want to be the world at larget. Like,

Question for the room:

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Mischievous comes at a wee age, it's intentional emotional manipulation that doesn't come until later.
Today was fine, but more stressful than it needed to be. Oy! And I exercised this morning and now I need a long soak in a hot bath. My muscles ache.

Today was interesting. Not bad, just complicated. Of course, around my dad. And my mom's emotional state. Yep, made her cry and it was due to her completely misreading my action. Once explained, she was ok but that took an hour to get around to.
I was informed that I was "so much like your father" in a way I'm still not sure a compliment or curse.
But whatever. Largely a good day. Most of the presents wrapped.

Yay? Sort of?
Me, I'd love a drink but I have to stay awake so I can pick up my niece at the airport--and her flight was changed so now she's getting in at 1AM. I'm such a good aunt. (::sigh::)
One pie down. I should make another one but I think I'll do it in the morning instead. Before I go to the store and buy all the groceries for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day...
