Clear as day. "Condensation in the home and feng shui" How weird is that? And of course, the first thing I did when I (finally) got up was plug it in ans see what popped up. Some fairly interesting stuff. The back story to the search string was we were having Christmas at my mom's house (in the dream) and we all woke up drenched in sweat but ( Read more... )

Perhaps I am getting old. Or maybe it is years of retail that have worn me down, but I didn't go through that horrible post-Christmas depression this year. I enjoyed the holidays thoroughly and I wish them well until next year. It is a good feeling. What is not a good feeling is the state of my house at this time. Oh my word it is terrible.

I love Christmas. I really do. But Lord how I hate working at the mall during Christmas season. It is truly horrible. And I HATE the late mall hours that they seem to think we need to have.

But my little kitty icon thingie couldn't handle that I don't think. And yes, I am in fact listening to Amy Grant, so I'm for real. In my defense I had that horrible nightmare that Christmas came and I hadn't ( Read more... )

I know, I know. I start early. But one must if one doesn't want to miss it completely. I am easing into it though. When I yank out the Amy Grant Christmas trilogy and the Carpenters' Christmas Portrait, then you know I have gotten serious. We had our first fire of the season last night. Malion was so excited (in a cat way). She stretched out ( Read more... )

So I couldn't wait on one of the presents that I bought Damon for Christmas. I had to give it to him night before last. It was a really sweet pipe. He had lost his and was feeling the autumn call of pipe-smoking. So I took my little self down to the pipe shop and picked him out a nice one. And he looks so handsome smoking it. Heh.. .I used ( Read more... )
