* Stuck in bed all day yesterday but got my online Christmas shopping done – was able to get free shipping for Sears, ToysRUs, & Amazon, but will have to pick up a toy at Zellers somehow.
* My white pen ran out of ink last week. This is a problem with my nice dark cardstock Christmas cards, of which I have about 10 left to send. I’d rather wait for the new white one I ordered than use up all my silver, which is also not as good a match.
* I love my new kitchen-to-be. OMG. We did something really custom/funky/original with the tiles and it will be absolutely fabulous. Picked everything out Sunday – here are pics, but I’m keeping the special added touch a surprise! 
* I love my hubby. Even more than my new kitchen-to-be. Yes, really. I have a big crush on him. He doesn’t have shiny countertops or stainless steel cupboard handles, but he can cook and clean while fending off toddler and pre-teen tantrums, and still have time for new home dreams and kisses.
* Finally heard from the Senator’s office, and in order to pay me they had to send me papers that I had to sign and send back. On said papers, I’ve been officially downgraded from FT permanent employee to “contractor”. And they short-changed me 8 cents an hour for some bizarre reason. I don’t care as long as I get my $ asap.
* Jo-Ann is in town. I don’t even know where to start. I think I need one more psych degree to even begin to understand her behaviour. And to figure out what on earth she does with Avery that makes him act like a complete lunatic-with-destructive-tendencies when he comes back to us!
* Games are stupid. (to me. at this moment in time.) I finally beat W Jongg, but Hexic is driving me nuts. I don’t even enjoy it that much, I just want to win the damn thing.
* we got a Christmas card addressed to “Mr. & Mrs. Paul LastName”. Which is *my* last name, that he took on when we got married. Because we’re not a freakin’ traditional couple so why would you send us a card that’s addressed like it came from the 1950s???
OK, that’s about all I can manage today, my attention span and concentration are ridiculously off-kilter.
