GAHHH!  I forgot about caroling on Sunday evening.  I am so mad at myself - I was looking forward to that for weeks.  I can't believe I forgot to go.  I haven't been caroling in years!

Oh, so tired of the daily sinus headache.  I was whining about it last night at the chiropractor, when he casually commented that we’d work on that.  Um, what? Apparently it is one of his two specialities!  All I could think of was Eddie Izzard - “Allergy problem?  We’re gonna crack yer bones.”

He did this percussion thing where he rubbed and ( Read more... )

Party was smashing success last night!  Twenty of my nearest and dearest came to my home to eat, drink, and be merry.  I am definitely doing this again sometime.

Off to the next party ...

Guess what?  MY FRIENDS ARE COMING!  And they're bringing wine!  erinlyn1980 and trilllize are on their way here from Madison at this very moment.  And dtiernan suddenly got a chance at $10 tickets for the Shadowbox Cabaret tomorrow night, so we're all going.  I'm really excited about that, since someone was just recommending it to me this week.  Plus, I get to show off my ( Read more... )

Okay, positive things, positive things ...

I'm nearly finished with my Christmas shopping.  After one more trip to Half Price Books, one trip to Best Buy to pick up orders I made online, and an hour on my computer finishing projects, I will only have one person left to shop for.  Time to start wrapping pretties!

** Before I forget, I know I've got Arrested Development fans on my flist, so a link for you: All three seasons for $34.

** I've been going to this gym for three months now.  I've made friends with some regulars, and settled into the "head nod of acknowledgement" mode with the rest.  Today, a head-nod-acknowledger struck up a conversation with me.  ( Read more... )

I am a holiday card junkie. I think they're pretty. I love getting them in the mail, and I even sit at my desk and count them sometimes. It's probably not very much in the Christmas spirit, unless we're talking Scrooge in his Counting House, but there you go. I am, however, also fairly behind on LJ. Busy semester + lame Internet acess = many ( Read more... )

I HAVE FINISHED MY CHRISTMAS SHOPPING.

Oh, yeah.  That's right.  All gifts - purchased or ordered.  List items - crossed off.  Already-purchased gifts - wrapped and under the decorated tree.  I rock all of the houses.

Of course, my rockingness is limited to the arena of Christmas shopping.  Other things I was to have ( Read more... )
