You know...maybe you should rethink the mention of rechargeable bateries when I've just mentioned random PHALLUSES!

:D

LOL

Sekrit message received! *hee* What episode, pray tell?

I just got back from the wilds of SEO tonight and am trying to get settled in and rid myself of a driving headache by applying medicinal gin...but we will talk London soon! Let me know when might be good over the next few days and I'll give you a call. I'm going into work for a little bit tomorrow and also have to run errands in the evening (the cupboard is bare), but then I'm off until next Wednesday, so almost anytime will work for me :)

Anytime Friday is good- I'm off. :) A call would be great; and, we must compare notes on nephew and niece type people. :)

I started Dexter again from the beginning; I wanted to make sure I didn't miss/forget anything. I'm starting ep 4.

Excellent, Friday it is! We will talk about little folk and trip-taking :)

I am starting a Six Feet Under rewatch because I got the series box set for Christmas (and there's a vid idea, of course...also got new music and was listening on the way home and *boom*, idea!). What cracks me up is that my mom buys me DVDs based upon what she hopes to borrow -- I got Deadwood S3 and the SFU box set and I just handed the Deadwood set back to her because I know I won't have time to rewatch it right away, so she might as well have at it.

I'm with you, lady. My favorite present was my new disposal for my kitchen sink. Well, my sentimental favorite was the present from the girls that was my robe and slippers coupled with the snowman snowglobe that was cuter than they are. But my unofficial favorite was that disposal. Every time I turn it on and BZZZZZ another plate full of food I do a little dance.

Everytime I use my disposal, I remember the little "garbage" bag my mom used to keep on the counter in the kitchen for YEARS. It was a little square metal frame, for which there were mini-bags designed to fit it. Any "food" waste would go in there, as opposed to the regular "trash" can.

Yay for progress!

No Bourbon??!! *gasps, then falls over*

Bourbon and I are not on speaking terms, ever since the Great Halloween Incident of 1990. Heh. I'd never "stock" it unless I was having a party. Or, perhaps expecting a visit from my favorite mixologist. :)

Knives. I got two new kitchen knives. Also, a cupcake book I'm hoping I like better than the last one. I'm still on my quest for the perfect cupcake.

The Gerber Baby got a very cool vintage travel poster paintin for his room that his dad and I plan to steal when he decides that he wants his room theme to be The Incredible Hulk or Bob the Builder or the Wiggles. :)

Did you ever get the cupcake recipe I sent your hubby? The one that uses Guinness and sour cream? It's the bomb.

W. got a grill for Christmas. It's pressure sensitive, and makes a sizzle sound whenever you lay one of the plastic burgers on it. It has a toy propane tank under it and everything. He grilled for five minutes and decided he was out of propane and needed to "change the gas tank". Hee. He's in heaven.
