Blue Roses

Hope you all had a happy Thanksgiving! Me, I was sick, so it was more foggy than anything. We ended up postponing until today. I can't wait for turkey! Yummy.

Before getting sick (at work, I might add, which is a pain in the ass), I hit the craft store and am ready to make Christmas cards. $150 in supplies, my friends. $150. Am I insane? Yes, I am!

I love buying presents for people. I just want to keep buying! Some people are easier than others. I'm at a loss for things for my dad, but Jennie? I'm forcing myself to not buy her everything I see that she'll love, but I know she'll love it! Decisions, decisions. Others I find one perfect thing and am satisfied. For most people, this year, they're just getting the card. But it'll be a kickass card.

I have on XM radios Classical Christmas station. Such pretty music. I finally got myself to turn off the RENT soundtrack. LOL I just loved the movie so much, and I love the soundtrack, and it's all so good. But Christmas is making me happy.

What's annoying about having been so sick is that I feel better, but I use up all my energy so quickly. 2 hours of computer and helping around the house = 3 hours nap to recover. I can't wait to be 100% again.

I checked my stats, as I tend to do months, and was stunned to see over 500 people hit this page this month. Plus feeds! Do I have a feed? People are accessing it, so I guess I do. LOL But no one ever comments.

I gave up on Nano, but finally got an idea for Sesa. Here's hoping that goes even a little smoothly. I'm so into SGA right now, it's hard swinging back into pop. But it'll be worth it on Christmas eve with all those lovely new stories to read.

I saw Harry Potter! I saw RENT! I saw Anthony Rapp from RENT! It was quite the movie weekend.

I loved HP. It was a romantic comedy. Quite odd, that, but I enjoyed it. RENT was just brilliant, and Anthony was so nice. Liss and I went downtown for the movie and reception. Worth the $80 to have such a neat adventure.

I also watched Snow Wonder last night. Eric Szmanda was so cute, but the script was awful. Very disappointing, since it was based on a short story by my favorite author, Connie Willis. Read the original - Just Like the Ones We Used To Know, which is quite good and very Connie-like. Subtle and witty and Christmassy.

Today is a good day. A very good day. I don't care that Noneck lost her mind and shrieked most of the day. I don't care that the rest of the kids joined her. I don't care that I'm joining SGA just as that one special person has asked Joe Flanigan about slash and the fandom has erupted. I don't care.

It's snowing! It snowed overnight, lightly, just enough to stay on and dust the tops of roofs and cars and such, but not the ground. All morning, little flurries have been swirling, blown every which way by the wind. Snow! The first of the season. So I came home and walked to Starbucks for a peppermint white hot chocolate for me, and a gingerbread latte for mom. It was a great walk, chilly and gorgeous. Snow!

Also, my autumn BPAL came. Yay sniffies! Yay!

Now to put up my blue and silver snowflake garland before work.

Well, I began my novel. 600 words in. It's linked in my sidebar, as well.

I still can't believe I'm even attempting this. LOL
