it upsets me, so smooth it over with homemade cheer.

I am actually going to pick up the knitting needles again.

Think I can get something done in time for seasonal gift-giving? Who knows.


---Also--- Michelle, I am intending to mail a parcel to YOU "any day now". Which means after finals.

I've been meaning to send it to you since the last week of August.


Homemade things are the order of the week; Cora and I are giving her teacher homemade dog biscuits and a letter Z ornament, Conner's teachers will get plates of cookies, my mom is getting... uh, something. Bender reads this blog every-so-often, so I won't say exactly what she's getting, but it's handcrafted by me and since we live together, I'll get to see it frequently.

On the winter solstice, we'll be here with Yuletide cheer, lighting candles, singing songs, opening gifts, and decorating our very own piece of the forest with glittery paper-chains that the kids are putting together.

Down with exclusively store-bought holidays!

Down with Kay's and Lexus and JC Penny's!

I'm blogging here now, because myspace ads drive me nuts

ARGHHH!

Anyways, it was a good Sunday at work. I think that's it folks, except that I read about a new Muppet movie (by Jason Segal) on Perez Hilton yesterday.

Do you love the Mups like I do? I love Miss Piggy being blamed for stealing the baseball diamond and she and Kermit kissing when he visits her in jail. I love when they fall from the sky in their pet shipping crates, into the pond of an English park. I love Kermit playing a banjo.

Helen likes Dark Crystal.
