Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas! (To those of you who are desirous of Christmas wishes, and to those who are not: Happy Sunday! These are your only two options. You don't get out of well-wishes today.) And a Happy look_alive's Birthday to all. (Happy Birthday look_alive! ♥♥)

I am sitting in my bed shivering, about to get up and make cinnamon rolls and wait for Yuletide to start

Merry Christmas! You forgot about NEW DOCTOR WHO! The day is just full of excitement. :)

I can't wait to squee over Yuletide with you! 2 more minutes!

Now I need to leave my bed and get Christmas started. First up: posting today's fics at sherlockmas!

[evilhippo]

Ahh, new Doctor Who! I always forget that happens, since I never get to see it until I get back to Chicago after the holidays. So no spoilers! (-;

And eeeee, Yuletide! I'm probably going to post recs and squee tomorrow so I don't spam the crap out of everything today but but I got a nearly ten-thousand word Age of Adz story that I am super looking forward to! And a wonderful Luther fic (which I read first, because I knew I could finish it before my family got suspicious). ^_^ I feel kind of bad that I didn't even write over 3000 words for the fest (though I was up until nearly 2 in the morning writing utter crackfic).

Ah, priorities. I hope your morning was awesome. ^_^

Ok, no spoilers! I am going to do my best to wait and watch it when it airs on BBC America at 9:00pm after my relatives leave, and not download it after it airs in the UK and hide from our guests in my room while I watch it. (Even though that's exactly what I want to do!)

I got four Yuletide gifts! FOUR! Three fairy tales, and one for The Last Unicorn. I now feel extremely guilty that I only wrote one.

I've already read one of them, and it's very good! Full of gorgeous language, and an intriguing update on the Red Riding Hood tale. I suppose I'll be reading the rest intermittently throughout the day.

My morning was very nice. Breakfast with my parents, then the opening of presents. I got a dough hook attachment for my Kitchenaid, and a kitchen scale! Just what I wanted. :)

How goes your Christmas?

I'm having a hard time not cheating and using my parents' new wireless to just download it to my netbook for the ride home--but I know it'll slow down youtube and everything for my mom, and she's still playing with her new toy. (-;

Man, the Yuletide fair was good to you! There was more fic for fewer people this year (which is pretty awesome), so I figure treats happen because someone wanted to write something anyway. That means we shouldn't feel that guilty, right? (I have a treat waiting in Yuletide Madness, and I am sitting her coming up with theories about what it could be, but the uncertainty is driving me midly crazy. (-;)

Ah, Kitchenaid attachments. I'm still coveting the pasta press, though really, there are very few times my mixer doesn't just have its dough hook attached. I don't know how you were getting by without one. ^_^ I got some new saucepans (which were sorely needed, as mine are old with deteriorating nonstick coatings) and a food processor. Hooray for cooking-themed gifts!

YAAAAY THANK YOU! ♥ ♥ ♥

Now get back here so I can give you stuff! Oh, and my mom got me these pans. Oh my god. OH. MY. GOD. Yeah. Anyway. :D

[evilhippo]

^_^

I'll be back... Tuesday? (Monday night at 11, actually, but that's not any use.) Since I have to work Tuesday I'll probably be tired and useless so... Wednesday or Thursday for stuff-exchanging and introduction-to-new-omg-pans?

[look_alive]

Yeah, I figured. Ummm... Thursday I have to pick up Laura in Indianapolis, and I was thinking of going in to my internship HQ and kissing ass helping them move offices for a day on the 28th, but since they're right down on S Michigan Ave, maybe we could rendezvous and head over here after you get off work?

[evilhippo]

Blah, of course. I forgot Laura was coming so soon. I think tomorrow after work should be okay (provided I don't have to stay super-late). I'm actually home today, but mostly because I'm sick, so that doesn't do us much good. :/
