A few things of interest (or not):

The Christmas village on the back of our piano

Very tired--like, "sleepy" tired, not "verge of a nervous breakdown" tired. Maybe it's just because there's been a lot of holiday-related running-around lately, which is fun. And I've been eating out more, which means I'm drinking soda, which means I'm getting more caffeine than I should, which means I'm not sleeping very well at night. All I know ( Read more... )

Oh my sweet God have mercy. ( I decided that I would rather not go to prison )

So last night we finally decorated the tree that we got last weekend--the first thing you have to understand is that Christmas is a BIG THING in my family. Not in a religious sense--in a We Are Going to Decorate the SHIT Out of This House sense, and I love it. Of course, I loved it double-plus verygood when my mother opened a bottle of wine ("@ ( Read more... )

Another photo safari! And this one is LJ-only because I couldn't actually stop and tweet it at the time!

Breaking news: Taylor Lautner Locked In For 'New Moon.' And those of us on Team Sparkle Motion rub our hands with a low, evil laugh. Meanwhile: Who Should Play Leah Clearwater In ‘New Moon’? An MTV Staffer Weighs In (rumor: Vanessa Hudgens to Join 'Twilight' Cast?); Twilight DVD Date, Art ( large enough to frighten children). Also, take your pick: ( Read more... )

Remember how tired I was? Yeah, I don't think I slept at all. If I did drop off, I don't remember it. I'm probably going to pass out in three or four hours, but I've got to get through the extended family lunch first. It's small and we're close, though, so it's not a huge ordeal or anything ( Read more... )
