Dec. 29th, 2004 12:49 pmFive days behind on lj. Gaaaah.
So. In the past week or so.
Went to see
naked_bandit, yay! Need to trek back out to her far-flung end of the city, bearing Christmas cookies and a replacement Christmas present for her little guy. (The Grinch DVD got traded in for a Charlie Brown Christmas, since he had it already.)
Games night at
jestyna's! Scrabble, communal pictionary, Balderdash (best definition: ogee, a party where everyone gets naked and wonders what to do next), fun!
Annual potluck with friends! In which we all descend on Harry's place with food, and I could not remember how many years we've been doing it. At least six.
Errands, shopping, general business, m'girl makes home-made peppermint patties and chocolate mocha truffles. Mmmmm.
I send out cards, on December twenty-third. This is a new record for me of late, seeing as they're in the mail before Christmas. (Well, except for stuff for
joan_not_jaon,
alessar,
placidia, and
guyindkny, seeing as I need to still add stuff to be sent.
We did not get a tree this year. We have a foot-high little, tiny fake tree, hung about with anime keychains.
Christmas Eve with my folks (it's a German thing, presents and dinner Christmas Eve instead, and stockings Christmas morning), Christmas Day with
troutkitty's, and after all that, dear god, there is the desire to eat nothing but fruit and vegetables for the next month.
Eee! I now have a Tara figure to keep my two Willows company. And Puzzle Fighter, a flat-screen monitor (
mockingspike, do you still need a better monitor? Want my old one? It's only 14", but has no discernible flickers or such), a li'l MP3 player, fuzzy jammies, and other sundry goodies. And among other things, somebody got my girl ROTK:EE a couple days late. (whistles innocently)
It's dead, dead, dead at work this week. All afternoon on the reference desk, and the phone rang twice. And there was no email. Given that the week before, there was one day where I had seventy-three separate requests, yeah. Quiet.
Still have to blurb what I've been reading lately (gasp! mostly "grown-up" books!), but for now, should pack up and go home. Yay!
