I’ve been ticking along with a bit of Christmas shopping and planning and thinking I was doing fairly well, but now it’s DECEMBER ALREADY and I feel the need to STEP IT UP and GET IT OVER WITH.
The Commodore helped me bring down some boxes of decorations yesterday; Mildly Creepy Full-Size Santa is out on [...]

Oh, look, I got bangs:
I think it takes some years off. Like, thirty or so:
That was literally the last time I had for-real heavy bangs. My mom (who met me today for lunch with Rockinrolla) noted this also, and did a lot of chuckling.
Just for kicks, here’s the rest of the class.
I think [...]

So, I’m pretty sure Rainbow is getting this item along with a few stocking stuffers like this and this and this for Christmas.
He asked Santa for it, and Santa (I’m quite certain) feels it is a reasonable request. I think Santa also knows that probably he will not be the only person to give [...]

I’m totally wasting my Rainbow morning nap/shower time squeezing in a post here, which is especially ridiculous considering I have nothing much to say and haven’t even brushed my teeth yet, but let’s just see where this goes.
(TOTALLY just an excuse to drink a third cup of coffee.)
Rainbow is just over the top with [...]
quote for the morning

“Happiness is not achieved by the conscious pursuit of happiness; it is generally the by-product of other activities.”
~Aldous Huxley (1894-1963)
I read this last night and just keep chewing on it contentedly. I love it. It makes me feel like “pursuit of happiness” is kind of silly; we should be pursuing what is gratifying, [...]

O, save me from myself. I am VERRRRY tempted to let my inner passive aggressive beeyotch out to play.
Here’s the background: Daddy J and I go to a fundraiser/dinner/music performance on Monday night. We have a great time. We bring wine. There is a silent auction and I bid on four [...]

So, evidently an insurance company had an issue with a 4 month old baby who weighed a whopping 17 pounds. They said he was obese and denied coverage, then later revised that decision.
Which, clearly, is goofy on so many levels, but specifically and personally: Rainbow weighed 20 pounds and 11 ounces at four months. [...]
eh.

Things are good, really, I’m just feeling a little pooped. And it’s not Rainbow’s fault: the last couple of nights he has slept a full twelve hours. Cuh-razy.
(The basset hound, on the other hand, has been waking us up at three-ish due to boredom or a shrunken bladder or both.)
Deck construction is nearing completion, [...]

(Although I’m still kind of smarting from the whole etiquette poll thing. I mean, honestly, I REALLY THOUGHT most people just didn’t care if you sent them thank you notes or not. *I* certainly don’t. Like, it’s a nice, gracious touch, but I thought nobody (well, hardly anybody) was tsking at their calendar and wondering [...]
