other pursuits
When we aren't having the universe kick our ass and then hand it back to us with a big hug and kiss, we are trying to get ready for Christmas.
Today K and I did a huge shop, HUGE I TELL YOU, and got the alcoholic beverages for our party gatherings. (We bought an extra case BECAUSE WE NEED A LITTLE CHRISTMAS RIGHT THIS VERY MINUTE.)
We will have lunch on Christmas eve with K's family (and meet our new tiny nephew) and breakfast with mine on Christmas morning.
And then, frankly, we may just go to bed for a while because it's been a long long week (and I haven't even filled you in on any medical updates - but don't worry THEY WILL KEEP).
And, you know what else I have to tell you?
No - you you don't.
I HAD DRINKS WITH DANIEL RENZI AND IT WAS SUBLIME.
He's very very tall that Daniel Renzi.
And gorgeous.
And funny.
And he bought me a big big pitcher of sangria!
I'm pretty sure I fell in love with him and it was an unexpected pleasure.
(Not that I thought he'd be a smallish jerk or anything, but meeting bloggers is very tenuous.)
We strolled through a place filled with treasures, played with very valuable umbrellas, and laughed at phallic crystals...
and played with blackbird bird calls -
And look at these!
Jars of love...
I'd buy one for each of you (maybe not the LURKERS) but THEY WERE $80 EACH.
so.
I'll just give you a big VIRTUAL HUG.

HUG
and a jar of love.
Ouch. That's harsh. I'll come out of lurkdom for an $80 jar of love.
Yesterday's post about your husband leaving his job made me tear up. My husband is currently in a job that he doesn't love and where they don't appreciate him. I can sympathize with how hard that is.
Happy holidays! Love your blog.
A lurker came out!
I can tell you here, since my mom doesn't come here but does lurk on my two alter ego's. All the festivities we are planning are a surprise for her 60th birthday. I'm a woman with many, many lists as we speak....but nary as much stress as you my luv.
You are BLOWING MY MIND.
And also how come I never get to meet any hot blogging guys? Hot blogging women, sure, I've met tons. But I DON'T SWING THAT WAY.
I am baffled and disgruntled.
Oh! But I hope the medical updates are good and whatnot!
I love your blog and am thankful to have found you this year. You bring a lot of joy, thought and humor into my life. Wishing you a happy xmas and 2007.
Sounds fun, too. And what? Not a blonde now?
I can hear the joy in your posting. Honey, you are 40 pounds of worry lighter. What a great Christmas for you all there in Tuvalu.
But I need to ask you a personal question: Are you still loving the short hair?
Merry Christmas! And good job bringing out those lurkers!
I was internet-absent for a bit, just caught up -- well, okay, I didn't catch up, but lucky for me, your recent most recent posts covered the most important thing. And left me wondering about the future of the employed person typing this and the one making dinner in my kitchen. It's good when the universe is fast on the upswing and promising for us, too.
Meanwhile. I need to go pick up a case of cheer somewhere. Happy happy!
I also read your post regarding the recent universal ass-kicking and guess what -- same thing happened to my husband last Friday.
It *does* make for a long long week.
But we will all get through it and I am sending you and your family all of the best thoughts, wishes, and luck for the future.
BB, the simple fact that you thought about us (I am including myself in the "not lurkers" if you don't mind) well that's worth some million times the value of the jar.
Not only you are a cool person/mom/wife/friend/blogger you are sweet too!
They are wonder-ful but $80!!
Your hug is the best!
Merry Christmas!
