20 more sleeps til christmas

I just realized I never posted this Mad lib that I saved.  Pretty hilarious.

Last night I visited the largest restaurant I have ever been to. It was located right in the middle of a field just outside of town. The name of the place, "Icelandic Lucy's," was lit up with big garish dark grey lights. The seats were tiny and thick and the wardrobes were less than random, but the atmosphere was sparkly nonetheless. A leap year or so passed, and then a waitress came up to me and said, "Hi, I'm Hyper, and I'll be your server. May I take your order?"

"Cow cow!!" I said. "It's about time. I've been sitting here for a leap year! I'd like a bowl of turnip, the turnover and peppers dinner plate with extra peppers, hold the popevers, and a petri dish of buttermilk."

My food came promptly -- it took about a season, by my watch. I must say, I enjoyed the meal, especially the peppers, though I spilled some buttermilk on my ballgown. I had the leftovers put in a disposible plastic water bottle so I could take it home. I'm going back tomorrow.

Saw Happy Feet tonight. I was quite impressed. More sophisticated then I thought it would be. I won't ruin it for anyone who hasn't seen it, but It's a fun movie, and more then just dancing. but even so, who doesn't like dancing penguins!

my advent calendar chocolate was a four-leaf clover today. Not really
sure how that relates to christmas.

oooh, and there was more snow today, so Patricia and I both tried to
catch snowflakes on our tongues. After looking at some vintage type
books in Ocad's library. And we still have a lot of work to do, but
we have a vision of what we want our wedding invites to look like.
think whimsical story book, where anything is possible.

First snowfall of the season tonight!. it looked beautiful. I forgot
to try catch any on my tongue. Maybe it'll still be snowing tomorrow.

Goodnight

23 more sleeps til christmas

Today was Caedmon's 1st birthday!! It was so exciting to see him
play with all his parent's friends. And he loved his cake, and
presents, and balloons and mostly the wrapping paper. I think he
liked the attention too. You could see on his little face that
something exciting was going on, and the excitement was for him.

in other news, my beautiful bride-to-be bought a wedding dress today!
I'm told it's vintage looking, and is mostly silk, sheer and tulle, and
that her veil is handmade. I have not seen it, nor will I see it
until or wedding day. That is the tradition I'm told. The suprise
will be good, I'm sure, but I'm mostly keeping to the tradition to
appease a rather large number of people who not-so-gently try to
impose this rather silly tradition onto others, namely me.
Patricia also wrote me an email note just now to say goodnight. : D

oh! and apparently it's Bing Crosby who sings with David Bowie, not
Dean Martin. sorry deano.

and my chocolate was a poinsettia today. yum

24 sleeps til christmas…

Today, my friend, is the first day of december. A calcium enriched
december at that. 24 sleeps til christmas. 231 sleeps until our
wedding. December first means I got to open the first glorious paper
door of my advent calendar. A chocolate train today. It also means I
got to use a shiny new metropass card, see the next image on my
calendar and umm… pay rent. A whole new month full of promise, like
a fresh blanked of snow upon the earth. Now, if only there was such
blanked of snow upon the ground.

I brought in more of my christmas music to work today. We've already
been listening to holiday tunes for at least a solid week now, maybe
two. There are some new songs I want to add to my personal collection
this year, including Jack Johnson's cover of Rudolf, and Dean
Martin / David Bowie singing the little drummer boy (a true modern
classic). Hmmm, speaking of christmas cheer I should really put up
my lights. And they'll be at street level this year. I'm so excited.

yay. welcome christmas
