Moony - there's even a Rodin exhibit at the museum we get to see - even out here in the middle of nowhere!

We are all in very silly moods today here, which makes the day so much fun.

Tink - you're WORKING today???? No fair! FREE TINK!


Q - how funny you should mention Rodin! I'm going to pop into the National Gallery today to visit my old, dear friend Kate Simpson. Her bust, by Rodin, is there. Mrs. Simpson was Rodin's premiere benefactor in the U.S. and most of his pieces in this country are here thanks to her. Everything in the NGA here is from her private collection. Tonight I will attend midnight mass in a small chapel she designed and built. I also have a very personal connection to her and I've been priviledged to read the letters she and Rodin exchanged over the many years of their friendship. Funny, huh?

Ho, ho, ho! Or Yo, yo, yo! Whatev!

Mornin', my Peeps!

I'm all packed and ready to go. Now, if I could just get rid of this frickin' cough!

Edit: Oh, and I'm working too! Well, I'm IN work anyway. :-P

And there is my favorite person to be silly with!! What is it with you being sick when you come here or leave here? No excuses, you're still drinking!!! :)

I know Moony! Can you send an e-mail to the CEO? Nah, they are letting us out at 3 today and giving us Friday off, so I can't really complain!

[shameless]

Posted: 12/24/08 at 9:32am

Oh, no worries, I'll be drinking! I don't feel that bad, but the cough is getting on my nerves. I called Boobs last night to check in and I kept hacking in the poor man's ear.

But, I'm still all about the silliness!

Good morning, goddess!

Tink - Friday off is good!

Morning all and Good Christmas Eve to all.

yeah, moony, it is. I have plans with these crazy people to go see Harry Potter strip.

Kansas! A delightful holiday surprise!! I'll have you know that I made tortiere in honor of my Canadian roots. Joyeaux Noel!

Tink - there are no words. Lots of mental images, but no words.

Off to the grocery store!

Christmas Eve greeting to all!

Shamey, you were ordered to take NyQuil and go to bed. Did you follow the man's orders?

I'm at work in my living room, slogging thru 450 emails. I'm down to 154.

Happy Christmas eve morn to all.

I will be working today, but that is what all good Jews do on Christmas Eve day!

I hope you all have safe travels, kill your colds, and end up on the nice (with a bit of naughty thrown in) list.

I got an adorable gift from my assistant, that just made me smile, and put me in the holiday spirit!

hmmm tortiere - more food, between the amount of snow we have had and the amount of food I have had/consumed in the last week and the main event to come I'm living a truly snowmageddon-foodmageddon excess.

Not all, YWiW. This is the first Christmas in years that J2 isn't on service while the other doctors go to the movies and eat Chinese food. And the doctor who is on service over the holidays this year? The other Christian. The one with kids. Go figure.

I'm at work, too, but not for long. Hoping to get out around 1pm.

I am off to work now, and we have a shortened day - both today, Friday and New Year's Eve.

That is pretty good for corporate America - and there is plenty of holiday cheer.

Did I tell you that Zander is the Devil, and decided that a lit menorah was a good plaything? He singed his whiskers, and did not seem to have a care in the world. It is better than the time my first cat Gorky got his tail over a lit candle, and my friend screamed "Oh My God, he's on fire" (no harm to Gorky either), but Zander is one weird cat!

Oy!

Hi Moony! Oh, I meant to tell you that we are working on a yacht named Moon Goddess!

Girly, I did, but I might be immune to Nyquil because it didn't help at all! My friend recommended this Delsym stuff and that worked much better for me. Or it could have been the combination of the two. LOL! So, much for not taking more than 4 doses in a 24-hour period.

wow, pinky, i really am rubbing off on you. *tear* I'm so proud!

[bdwaygirl]

Posted: 12/24/08 at 12:19pm

It's weird. Sometimes NyQuil works for me, and sometimes it doesn't.

As I'm putting gifts in shopping bags for later, I'm second guessing all my choices. Except for my babies. Oh well. Too late now. I am NOT going near a store today.

[D2]

Posted: 12/24/08 at 1:11pm

Aww Girly, I'm sure I'll love whatever you've got for me.

You are leaving the receipt in the bag, right?

[DayDreamer]

Posted: 12/24/08 at 1:21pm

Count me in at work as well. But Friday is off, so that's good.

We are being hit by another round of snow. Enough already! Thankfully this is more wet and temps are above freezing, which helps with traction.

For some reason it just does not feel like Christmas at all.

You're so silly, Deet.

Sweet DQ, I heard something on the news at noon about passengers getting sick from de-icing fumes at your airport. What the heck are they doing out there?!

I am so curious to see what the bro sent. A big carton arrived the beginning of last week, and is taking up valuable space in my living room. After accidentally opening last year's present, not knowing the contents in the carton wasn't wrapped separately, I stopped myself from doing that this year. I'm guessing that whatever's inside is about 3/4 smaller than the carton it came in. That drives me crazy when places do that.

I finally remembered to e-mail them the end of the week letting them know it arrived and that I was being good and hadn't opened it. I got an e-mail back from him just now, saying "good. There's a device inside that lets us know if it's opened before Christmas."

Chocolate dessert cups are ready to go. This time, filled with a cannoli filling instead of mousse. The Godbaby's idea. We'll see how that works out.

I think I am one of the only losers actually waiting until 3pm to leave....mostly everyone has already booked out. Damn my strange convictions!!

A quick visit to wise everyone a happy Christmas!
