Merry Christmas!

Well, it's finally here, once again! And after some marathon shopping, I'm ready to sleep for two days :) Okay, okay, so I guess I still have to go to my parent's friends Christmas Eve dinner, and my "auntie" and "uncle" Christmas Day Feast...the question is, how do I tame my hair that seems to have taken after a frizzy poodle? I ( Read more... )

The rats are gone, my dog is feeling better, and I have a bit of the flu and am last-minute shopping, too. I'm also *finally* working on the play that they forgot to cast me in (seriously!) and well, that's that.

So, Merry Christmas Eve Eve.

So, there's a rat infestation in the walls. I can't wait till we move out of this house.

I really haven't been up to talking about anything.

I think the sky really is falling. Stupid sky. And, it's not raining enough. I'm in a bad mood. I want rain, not the moon or some "ooo, happy me" sun. Rain rain RAIN!

And new brakes and a muffler.

And for everything to be better, like it was in late June and early July.

An important message to all drivers:

Red means stop. It does mean squeeze through before the people in the other lane can put their foot on the gas pedal.

Yellow means squeeze through before it turns red. It does not mean stop right at the stopline because the light just turns yellow two meters before you reach the stopline.
