More hangover. Super tired. Think I am fighting off something. I had the flu shot again this year and I've noticed that when something tries to take hold, that rather than have major symptoms, I just get verrry tired. I felt the hints of a sore throat on Christmas night so I am not surprised... Continue Reading →
Christmas Hangover Day
What? That isn't the official name for today? But, it should be! Sugar hangover! Too much food in general hangover! Spending money hangover! Wrapping paper hangover! Christmas music hangover! Ah well. Thanks to Dell being so generous, I am now in hyper music download mode. Demands for more music on the MP3 player are high... Continue Reading →

One more for the day
'Twas the night before Christmas when all through the house, not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse.... Yeah, right! The cats are having their midnight rodeo session, SP is upstairs sleeping snoring so loudly that I can hear it down here, and I am up and surfing the 'net to stay awake because... Continue Reading →
Vandals!
Wonder how this could have happened? It was only a matter of time I suppose. The temptations over the past 4 weeks have been quite high yet this is the first real casualty (though the gift I opened in the C&J SS exchange did have a green bow with tell tale bite marks). Just one... Continue Reading →
Current phase of holiday cooking
Doing the rounds on my friend's blogs and also from prior years on the email lists, it seems that everyone has their cooking/baking traditions for the holidays. I've never had a set tradition for that. Back when I was with Sportsboy's dad, we did the Swedish themed things. Homemade meatballs, Lussebulle (saffron bread) and Drem... Continue Reading →
What do YOU want from Santa?
Ok all you adults. Whether you celebrate and believe or not, tell me what you want! The rules are just that you cannot mention anything but purely selfish stuff. No asking for world peace or the kinds of things that a beauty pageant contestant would say. For example, here is my answer. It's changed actually... Continue Reading →
More ramblings
Christmas music: I created a playlist of Christmas music last night and today which I have played almost all day now. Since I really had not listened to much all month, it was really nice to have it on and hopefully I wont be sick of it by Tuesday 🙂 I've got The Carpenters, Andy... Continue Reading →
Thank you Dell!
Those MP3 players that I thought would not arrive until the end of Jan? Well, Dell decided that was not a satisfactory situation and without telling me anything, they shipped me two different MP3 players instead. *Better* ones! Same brand, but its an 8gb VIDEO MP3 player instead! I saw those, but they were $40... Continue Reading →

Stolen from errr...inspired by MLL at Are We There Yet? 1. Wrapping paper or gift bags? Wrapping paper and some of the cutest gift card holders I’ve ever seen courtesy of my local Vons grocery store! 2. Real or artificial tree? As a child it was real, but as an adult it is artificial ONLY.... Continue Reading →
