Raccoons hit the model train set… good holiday grub in the trash cans!
Cinderella doesn’t seem to mind, much. [edit – BilliJean pointed out that it’s Alice! D’oh!]

Holiday party – won $100 (2x $50 gift cards) – Wheel of fortune // Hangman is our friend! We did poorly on "guess the person in the baby pictures" part of things, but that’s ok by me. I was just happy to have a midday meet with BHK. 🙂
Introduced her around to folks – most had met her last year – I think Peter was the only new face in the crowd.
After the party, I had to go back to work for a couple of hours, and then we were free to go!
I’m not tip-top, so we headed home, and crashed out early – 9:30 bedtime!
Until later, dear journal.
1 year ago – bhkhealthholidaywork
Thursday…just about done watching the first season of Dexter. It’s interesting, but I think the sister should’ve worked out the deal, long ago, no matter how well trained he might be, or her lack of curiosity. Feeling a bit fatigued lately, but getting there. I need to send my brother a card or something, congratulating him on being a father, I guess. Somehow, I’m not feeling too festive about it. Ah well – I don’t even know if the little girl will carry his last name or not. Momster is elated about having a grandchild under any circumstances, which is a good attitude, I think. The baby is healthy and happy, as far as I know – can’t ask for much more than that! Got our first holiday prezzies – Oranges and other citrus from folks in Florida, and an amazon box from Kev. BHK made sure that I did’nt see the invoice slip – He sent his gift wrapped, I neglected to put amazon wrap on the stuff we sent him – I hope my stuff makes it to Cuba in a timely way. Tomorrow is the holiday party at the office – we’ll see how the terrible twosome of BHK and Scotto do at party games for gift card winnings! 1 year ago – started my minicity – (still doing ok, though neglected), icy footing, f’ing programming, tell me meme, my snazzy new custom sneakers 2 years ago – Dinner with C&D, Big Brain, xmas card, silly holiday lj toys 3 years ago – xmas card, condo xmas party, calm a llama down 4 years ago – salty seas, Christmas toy, year in review, celebrex, anime fans, con folk 5 years ago – trade invites for play $$, dreams 6 years ago – How to attain old age, got my epidural 7 years ago – Crime & Punishment, heterodox, evil news, HP question, pooter poop, bagpipe, egoboo, giant bee 8 years ago – met tarpo and isis, LJ sea Chantey, AOK-ing, Christmas Blues BHK spent the day polishing off our shopping, I think we’re about done! We hit Thursday’s after work – food was a bit on the weak side – probably will take some time before going back. Came home and mostly caught up with chores – I played a smidgen of fallout 3, folded the whites, while BHK got the xmas stragglers online. Updside of cool weather, the kitties extra snugglesome. We still haven’t finished putting up the tree – lights are on, but ornaments and garland are still in boxes. Likely to happen next weekend, or during the week if there is a slow patch. I need to put together the orange juice car, too – and move pyecam downstairs for kitty/christmas pov video. 1 year ago – engagement ring, shots, consumption of another’s gift, Aardvark – gift pickup, mostly finished shopping 2 years ago – huge number of Christmas lights pictures from Solomon’s Island and more. Snow! 3 years ago – monkey day, kong, slow lj, dsl issues, santa question 4 years ago – Mel & Scotto facts, Gorilla Girl, Monkey Day, Massive Frog eats 3-legged dog, Beatles Christmas Records, 7070, Santa hates damn contemporary, bullshit architecture!, I break Christmas bonuses to ADP 5 years ago – spelling poll, pandas, turtles, and a bed of fresh noodles 6 years ago – keywords, Newt likes Broccoli!, Lauderdale cams, bah on bush, gore and grover Cleveland, mh trim, J-lo nose picker, shoe-doodle 7 years ago – holiday shopping, good advice, winter depression folk 8 years ago – moment of RAW, Santa Claus – geek, holidays, donations We also got a nativity set at the same time we picked up the tree. Bears! View full size for maximum effect. We added some other items to the scene – Pye and Newton had to be there, and it spiraled out from there. We went over to the in-laws for pancake breakfast after sleeping in nicely this morning. I had a bit of an allergy attack, had to head home – did some work-work stuff, folded some laundry and put lights on the tree while BHK did household work and made use quiche with cheese, veggie sausage and green peas… and some veggie sausage-biscuit balls, too. *VERY* tasty and hearty fare. The in-laws came over too, and we just hung out and chitty-chatted – watched some old episodes of Newheart and the Honeymooners on WGN – The in-laws are out the door now, and BHK is sleeping on my lap… but now it’s time for bed. Until later, dear journal! 1 year ago -office christmas party, good food, we win a prize, cal tort 2 years ago – shopped, ate, got fluxx 3 years ago – condo commandos, dooced, kong opens, misfits, bush on constitution, yahoo income, zombie cap 4 years ago – cravings, pondering atmospheres, vocabulary words, adp ROYALLY screws up, ocular chili, its a wonderful life by bunnies, Mexican tomb of DEATH 5 years ago – Saddam captured, collective nouns, feral children, pod thoughts, tic tacs, and chores done 6 years ago – Lottery-coworker thoughts, Deathrace 2000, my favorite Chang Tzu quote, witch cow, mistaken identity, haiku 7 years ago – pumpernickel, Newt on my long-lost chair, moment of weirdness, wacky news, what we did before toilet paper, coprolite 8 years ago – sickies, FIGHT! game, Rhyme-time It’s here! Minimum of muss and fuss. Shaun had his tree picked out and cut down before I even got there. We introduced Shaun to "Crabs for Christmas", and a good time was had by all. After getting the tree up, we paused for some Chinese food – some of the best I’ve had. I think the secret to little panda is to not go on Sunday – I suspect that the regular cook takes that day off. I was very fortunate that Larry brought his own saw – the one provided wasn’t up to snuff. BHK figured out a good place for the tree, the far side of the living room. Traffic shouldn’t be too much of a problem there, and it smells so good! Easy getting this year – measured twice, cut once – and then cut again when we got home, to fit and make fresh for water. We got our tree. Not decorated yet, but I rather like it unadorned at the moment. BHK, the in-laws and I watched "Love, Actually" and by that time, it was too late to hang lights or ornaments, which is fine by me! 1 year ago -got crabs for xmas cd, add lj friends page to rss reader, bears in ill-fitting hats, metro fare increases, glow-kitties fight disease, 2007 q&A meme 2 years ago – Peter Boyle RIP, Grey Gardens, Holiday hubbub, new comic store, Tina’s wedding present to us, 3 years ago – sam and max, Atari 2600, favorite things 4 years ago – I discover that Romanian pop tune (OZONE – Dragoste din tei) before the weirdo kid cam sings it around the world, Oceans 11, pollo tropical makes me sick 5 years ago – the secret message, Bro & Danny visit, lizards in the tummy, truck surfing, riddle, some reference 6 years ago – nightmare, balloon hats, fudge and dinosaurs, Danny and I win a Tomato Recipe contest! 7 years ago – nice dreams, flesh eating robots, wacky day, SOP 8 years ago – coffee, hello kitty murders, village blacksmith, books to read, I get a Sigmund and the sea monsters tape! Had an off-site meeting the bulk of the day today – informative, and interesting, but I think I’ll opt for the webinar version unless there is going to be any "networking" to be done. Pleasantly surprised to see Shaun M on the bus ride home – we discussed going to get a Christmas tree tomorrow. BHK made more pigs in blankets, and we all just sort of are crashing out now. I’m looking forward to the new tannenbaum, as long as we can find a place to put it in our house.. now that we have the new couch, it’s hard to make room for something of that size. holiday lights that seem to have the least to do with any known holiday. A little yellow fish in love with a yellow submarine. I wish them both the best of luck. 1 year ago – heard about ex’s foreclosure, folderol, Aflac, good thoughts about BHK, WMBT- wombat radio, Santa Clause w/in-laws 2 years ago – christin reviews eragon, my Xmas stocking, got a train to put under the tree.

We didn’t get HO, but it got an honorable mention. No HOs for us!! Got pretty darn chilly after work today, waiting for the bus – bad day for it to be late. Discovered that my rain jacket is water "resistant" not water "repellant!" When the bus finally came, my skin was bright red as I defrosted… cold enough that it hurt a bit. We drove through about 2 feet of water on the way home… but that was worth it, because Cathy & Dave sent us homemade cookies for Xmas!
