Ice King: A Hunka Hunka Burning Polyester
I don't know how he managed it, but Rannie's got the portraits from last night's Hawaiian luau up already. Here's me.

We had a great time and I picked up the Desparate Housewives game I won in the Million Giveaway. Hey, am I re-entered for linking it again?

We do not appear to be amused.
Welcome back! Did you have a good holiday? Mine was insane. Seriously, I’m happy to be back at work where things are lovely and peaceful. Now that my brain has been emptied of the grocery and present lists, I have room for the usual insanity. Let’s catch up, shall we?

James Brown Has Died
I guess he didn’t feel so good after all.

At The Christmas Pageant
Ice Prince: Daddy, are there only two of those?
Fresh: The angels? No there are more there, see?
IP: No, I mean those two bald guys over there! (pointing at the pews)

IP: Did the baby Jesus grow up to be a thoughtful man?

IP was also royally pissed that he got bread at communion but not wine. “Why can’t I have the wine?!” Good thing I didn’t tell him it was the blood of Christ. “How come I can’t have any blood, Mommy?! I want the blood too!”

No one comes out of the closet Chez Ice
I spent yesterday putting together a futon I bought at (shhhhh) Walmart. It’s quite lovely, although altogether too big for the guest room. Oh well. We didn’t need to open that closet anyway.

Heartwarming Story
It seems that young Ice Prince still believes in Santa Claus. When we got home from church on Christmas Eve (yes, church, hush up), IP quickly put out Santa’s brownies, insisted on fewer bedtime stories, told Fresh and I we could only give him one hug and kiss and no talking and then dismissed us saying “Go, go! I have to get to sleep!”

Christmas morning, Santa brought IP some spider-man toys, a robot and a Giant Tiger. When IP spotted the tiger, he immediately ran to get MY present from him. “But don’t you want to look at what Santa got you?” “No, open yours!”

It was a stuffed tiger. “I bought it with my own money! I know how much you love tigers!”

Now what kid would rather give his mom a present than open or look at his own? I get all misty thinking about it!

(Don’t worry, he quickly turned into the present opening machine we all know and love.)

Okay, more later. Plus I’ll be at Rannie and Jay’s party tomorrow (probably straight from work), so I’ll see you there! Gotta go find some Hawaiian clothes at lunch. I bought Fresh a real Hawaiian shirt last week – perfectly tacky!

Just wondering.
Is it wrong that Barbra Streisand is singing a Christmas song about enjoying a honey baked ham?

Watch for the Queen's 2006 Christmas Message -- NOW ON VIDEO!

I have just purchased a Sony Handycam.

Will I use my new found live-action powers for good or evil?

Will you have to put up with a weekly video blog from me?

Does the idea excite you or make your feet sad?

Discuss.

And everyone wore their own shoes home. For a change.

More later, but to suffice it to say, with our friends, good food, good wine, rubber and feathers, how could we have NOT had a good time at our party on Saturday?

Thanks for coming and for those of you who couldn't attend, I'll try to pick a boring weekend next time. Like March or something.

Quick post
Busy, busy, busy! You want to catch up with me? Come to our soiree, this Saturday.

But I shall share something from You Tube that will make you giggle. Prerequisite: A familiarity with the movie Office Space.

Enjoy the link.

We’re going to party like it’s two weeks ‘til 2007! Which is infinitely better than partying like it’s 1999! And with more exclamation points!

Yes, I’ve been neglectful. There’s been a lot going on. Oh, no big deal, really. Just having my fragile little ego stomped.

But hey, you don’t need to hear that. We’re having a PARTY on Saturday and YOU are invited! (Didn’t get your e-vite? Let me know!)

Dress code: Whatever, as long as it’s fabulous. And I wouldn’t have invited you if you weren’t fabulous. Goodwill’s having a 50% off sale tomorrow, so who knows what I may end up wearing.

And don’t forget to bring you instrument if you play one. I expect later in the evening, we may sing. Come early if live karaoke frightens you.

Don’t drink and drive! Taxis are plentiful! (Another good reason for me not to have a birthday party on New Year’s Eve.)

Oh yeah, and you get to see my new hairdo. Or as Ice Prince said “Hey! You’re wearing the wrong hair, Mommy!”

Speaking of which IP and I took the train to Ottawa last weekend. The train rolled into the station.
Me: We’re in Ottawa!
IP: But it looks just like home!
Me: What were you expecting?
IP: I thought it would be all Chinese! With sushi!
Me: It was a long train ride, but it wasn’t THAT long.

And something bitter and full-bodied for me
At the coffee shop I had to smirk when the tiny South American woman in line behind me ordered a Small Colombian.

Douglas Adams was right about giant currency . Marie Curie " I have no dress except the one I wear every day. If you are going to...
