Merry merry Christmas to you all.
You know that scene in It’s A Wonderful Life where James Stewart and Donna Reed fall into the swimming pool and James Stewart keeps dancing in the water and Donna Reed is laughing so hard she looks like she’ll burst? That’s my dream guy, right there. Only I can’t swim, [...]

If I had a dollar for every time I saw something for sale online that made me say, “What?! Why?!” or “No way” or “Are you frickin’ kidding me?” or “Oh, geez,” I’d have at least a few dollars. Probably more than that. But here are some things so bizarre and random, they left me [...]

Rather than posting yet another super-long entry, I’ll throw out some short sections for your entertainment and amusement.
First thing up: to help with any of your last-minute online Christmas shopping, be sure to scour RetailMeNot.com and CouponIt.com for promotions, specials, and discounts before hitting “Checkout.” Thanks to ol’ dismarum for the links. I wasn’t aware [...]

Hi, Happy December.
I think “Happy Holidays” is something people usually write on Christmas cards but rarely say. I heard one of my coworkers say it the other day. I guess it’s the safe, religion-neutral blessing.
I finished my Jane’s Songs for the Season mix. I’m pretty proud of it. I crammed sixteen hours of Christmas music [...]

Hi, hello.
Happy Late Thanksgiving to each of you.
Mine was good with relatively few sad emotions. Let’s say it was a vast improvement over the holidays in recent years. I’m still praying this Christmas will be my best yet.
Oh, oh! Plus we had snow on Thanksgiving! I was seriously so happy I got all choked up [...]

We finally have cooler weather in the mornings and evenings. This morning we actually had cold weather when I woke up, and I was giddy like a little girl on Christmas morning. (And Christmas is indeed coming.) Many of my Northerner friends reading this are suppressing knowing smiles at this because, yes, when the weather [...]

Hi guys.
In the freakish way I normally do, I’m suddenly looking forward to Christmas. Once it’s here, there’s always the possibility I’ll be drinking too much and smoking too much and just generally hating the world, but for now, I’m excited. I want to make this Christmas the best yet.
So.
Have you heard of kaboodle? It’s [...]

Peace, love, and Merry Christmas.

Today I saw a camel. And a donkey.
And this conversation took place between a random man and me:
Man: Those pickles will kill you, girls.
Me: Oh, good.
Man: They’ll make you cross-eyed.
Me: Mmhmm.
Man: I got a cat yesterday. He’s cross-eyed.
Me: Did you feed him pickles?
Man: Yep. He had some pickles.
Me: Nice.
Gingerbread is good but a little overwhelming [...]

Welcome, December.
How was everyone’s Thanksgiving (a week later, she asks)?
Here’s a small summary of what I did:
