It started well.

All Saturdays should start so nicely.

Being snuggled awake by a cuddly 4 year old who kisses your nose and says "good morning Mommy" before she leaves, locking the door behind her.

Then a serious cuddle with the husband. That's the way to come fully awake.

A shower, breakfast at Shoneys (just the two of us, the kids got cereal at home), some Christmas shopping (and a birthday present), then home to wrap the present and take Obi to the party.

I don't remember having mixed parties in 4th grade. But there were 3 other boys there, and everyone was washing up to make their lasagna.


Then I went to work. Oh my. It's the weekend of the St. Jude's marathon. I crossed the route three times, and got detoured a block from work so I had to go 2 miles out of my way. I took Early Maxwell, only to find it was Flea Market weekend. The guy at the gate let me through when I announced "I'm just trying to get to Christian Brothers! I crossed the marathon route 3 times, and Central's being detoured south on East Parkway." It was a "laugh or I'm going to burst into frustrated tears" moment.

But I got here. I am the only person in the library today. No students, no workers, nobody.

Last Call

Last call for Card addresses

I'm writing cards this weekend.

A pleasant evening

Lemon-pepper pork steaks, a nice cuddle with hubby.

gblvr, walkerminion, jkb, irene_heron look for a package headed your direction. Should get there Thursday or Friday, except Alex, who might see it around March, if the border guards let it through. ;) Nonetheless, it all gets mailed Monday.

You're the folks who are done. The rest of y'all, watch this space.

[Unknown site tag], send me either bunnies or fully fledged storyboards.


I had a nice time Christmas shopping with Mudd. I saw this 12" action figure of Luke, in the blacks, that was to die for. Or at least shell out for. I bought the chibi SW figues for $3 because they were too cute to pass up.

We covered most of the kids' stuff.
And there was ice cream.
