I am headed in that direction D2.

Have a wonderful holiday - and give your wonderful husband a big old hug from me!

Couldn't agree more, Deet. I have cousins from Glasgow. They are not all that much fun. But, you could say they have stunning architecture.

It is Christmas Eve down here. We are expecting a hot day with thunderstorms tonight. I hope Santa isn't grounded by air traffic control!

I hope all our dear adults enjoy Christmas and the holiday season.

Merry Christmas, Hep!

It's supposed to be 74 and sunny here on Christmas day, so we're more in line with you all down under

It's almost tennis time . . .

Grading DONE! Damn online systems never work the way their supposed to so it took longer than it should have.

Some kids are going to have a very Merry Christmas. Some are going to be less merry.

And two got lumps of coal.

Tink, you want a 3rd cat? Zander just knocked over a lit menorah, causing a small fire in my dining room. I was in the other room, heard something get knocked over, came into the living room and saw the menorah overturned and a wee bit of fire. Luckily, I had bought a table pad, and had a full sipper nearby. The only thing damaged was the table pad. What kind of animal knocks over something on fire just for the hell of it?

Now he is looking at the somewhat melted table pad with a "who me?" look.

Damn cat.

I saw this on FB, Deb. So glad to hear that there wasn't too much damage and you and the kitties are safe.

We've had to keep a close eye on our menorah this year as well. 3 cats, a dog and a 3 year old who is hell bent on blowing the candles out can result in quite the challenge.

Holy smoke! Glad all is okay, You. Scary! Good morning to anyone who wonders over here.

I am seriously looking for a battery powered menorah for next year.

Table pad company did me a solid, and sold me a 1/2 pad with free shipping for all of $50 bucks.

But yeah, I am not sure how you have a menorah up Patronus, unless you put the candles out within seconds after it is lit!

Hey Peeps! Just popping in to say HI! I'm enjoying my time home getting things done around the house. I had a nice Christmas with the family. Santa was very good to me. I now am learning how to use my new iPhone 4S. Now I have a Mac Book, an iPod, an iPad and an iPhone. I need to go to iAnonymous!

Funny how we're all resurrecting ourselves two days after Christmas. My computer at home remains all hosed up and I can't get my new wireless device to find a connection, so I'm in the office, paying bills and checking email.

Holiday was very nice, but I have lots of returns to make. Moonchild left last night, so life is returning to normal. sadly, my sister lost her mother-in-law on Christmas Day. They had just skyped that morning, so her passing was unexpected.

My big gift was a check from my mom - which I am turning into trip to Scotland in May and eventually an iPad. But first, I have to get my passport reissued. And, take a photo that will not make me cry. Nothing like looking at old passport photos to get me back on the exercise bike!

Added an extra day off and went shopping for my New Year's Eve game night. Too much food but that is when my Jewish genes kick in!

But right now, I am really enjoying a Harry & David pear. nom nom nom nom.

Happy Pre-New Years Week adult.

And, the smell of burnt plastic is finally abating. YAY!

I had a Harry & David pear at lunch today! It was accompanied by a bag of Moose Munch. A balanced meal, as far as I'm concerned. Breakfast for the past two days has been a slice of pecan pie. I figure it's got eggs and nuts, so it's a good source of protein.

That works for me.

I actually have an unopened box of Godiva chocolate and truffles I am saving for New Year's Eve (along with an assortment of cheese, hummus, dips ...). I have about 8 folks coming over for game night.

I will be good, until I am very very bad.

Good morning, kids. Leaving now for a day of play in NYC ... an early lunch with a dear friend, some cheeesecake and an afternoon with Stockard Channing , Rachel Griffiths , Stacy Keach , Judith Light and Thomas Sadoski.

Cheesecake?!? Jealous!

Morning peeps! I'm going back on the couch to veg. A friend is in from Singapore and staying with me for a couple of days. We were up way too late last night catching up. I'm not ready to start my day yet.

Hallo! I pretty much spent the day on the couch yesterday after my dentist visit in the morning. Hopefully, I'll be a bit more productive today. We'll see.

Christmas was decent. Spent the Eve with the Godbaby and her family. The kids were fun! Had a few stops on Christmas Day, ending with a visit with Boobs crazy kin. That's always fun! And finally saw Meet Me In St. Louis. Tootie's my kinda kid!

Godbaby got me some of my wish list items, which was nice. Some cash from the boss, a cousin gave me a Pandora gift card, so there are some new charms in my future. One of my most favoritest gifts was the Eye Of Horus pendant I got! It has my name on the back in Egyptian Hyroglyphics. I posted pics of that on FB.

Coach wallet and this fake Gramophone from the bro. They haven't quite grasped that I'm not into the whole expensive bag thing. It complements the purse I got for my birthday that is upstairs in its box. They unexpectedly came in. They had been trying to get back this year, but the dog had eye surgery and they weren't sure if he could travel. Since the eye surgery was recent, they weren't going to leave him in the care of someone else. But then her mom had a heart attack a week ago today, so they brought the dog in for a quick visit to the vet and got the okay for him to go. The got to Jersey Friday afternoon. So they came over on Monday, dog and all. He was good, though. Excited to be in a new place. And they had another gift for me...two Pandora charms. The puppy in the dog house, which was on my list and they didn't even know it! And my Chinese Zodiac sign. So they redeemed themselves. LOL! I'm bad. I know it. We had a nice time. Hadn't seen them in about three years, so it was fun.

I've been pretty much couch ridden since sat. Had a great time at the game but it was f'n cold!!!!! Only went to two of the five places I was supposed to be on Christmas. Saw Girl with the Dragon Tattoo on Monday and yeah that's pretty much the only times I've left the apt. It's one of my best friend's bday tonight so must find the energy to leave.

Mornin'

Christmas was quiet but nice. J2 gave me the Harry Potter Boxed Set DVDs, and a bunch of wonderful books, including the new Sondheim. I gave him the fancy shmancy cookbooks he wanted and two CDs of music he can listen to in his office.

"two CDs of music he can listen to in his office"

I take it they were atonal pieces.

I've been busy helping friends plan funerals. One friend's mom died last week, my sister lost her mother-in-law the day after Christmas and another friend (and co-worker) lost her mom yesterday. We are also still planning the memorial service for our recently deceased alum (Class 0f 2010), which will be held here at school on Jan. 2. Apparently I'm the go-to gal for funeral service programs. It's a corporal work of mercy, I guess.

One of our holiday guest's father died last night, too. He had gone into the hospital Christmas Eve with what they thought was a heart problem, but which turned out to be pnemonia. He was stable, and they thought headed toward complete recovery, and then...

Has sort of put a different spin on the rest of our holiday experience
