meirwen	4:39p	Mixed feelings There's something disconcerting about being able to do a huge chunk of the Christmas gift purchases at the grocery store by buying gift cards, even when it is, in fact, what the recipients specifically requested. Feels a little like cheating, ya know? (6 Comments |Comment on this)

meirwen	8:42p	Confession 'dicea has a wonderful icon pic of the beautiful Katie looking sternly over her glasses. Imagine that picture to really appreciate this post. Duchezz and I were talking about the Dec. 24 Mass schedule, which one I would go to, etc. I was kvetching about the tendancy to use the Midnight Mass liturgy for earlier masses (which is just...wrong). Well, our church is having Mass on the 24th at 6:30 (Christmas Vigil). Duchezz thought I would be upset. "No," I said, "there's a Mass for that!" Beat. Beat. Wicked Duchezz smile. "There's a Mass for that?" she said, using the iPhone ad inflection. "You realize," she said, "you got the inflection exactly right, don't you?" *head* *desk* That'll be 10 "Hail Mary"s and an "Act of Contrition." Doh!

meirwen	10:00p	Small Triumphs 1) Surprising my *sister* at her bakery in Fort Edward and having a couple of lovely hours with her, her sweetie, his son, and their amused and bemused employee Edward. 2) Exercising some (though not much) self-control as the cider doughnuts were put onto the trays. 3) Surviving Crossgates and finding the prezzie we weren't able to get at a similar establishment in Syracuse on Thursday. 4) Slow-cooker recipe a success (beef, whole berry cranberry sauce, onion). Next time will add a touch of horseradish. Would be especially yummy on Heidlberg Bakery rolls, topped with Momma Stamberg's cranberry relish. Yum. 5) Finishing the novel the wonderful wyz_azz loaned me back in August. In four days. Go me! (We'll just ignore those 4 months it sat waiting for me to get to it, shall we?) 6) Not killing any of the stoopid-hedz. Current Mood: tired Current Music: Madagascar (Comment on this)

meirwen	11:35a	Cross post from my Facebook Nota bene--Given the medical professional recommendation, and the burning, tingling, burning (did I mention burning) in hands, forearms, and biceps coincident with typing, I may not be posting much. Not to worry. Just need to marshall resources. Current Mood: pissed off (10 Comments |Comment on this)
