just when i was starting to think that staying on this side of the water for xmas was an awful idea, circumstances have adjusted themselves to provide me with a much less solitary and much more festive holiday. not to mention people keep giving me presents! i love presents.
speaking of cards, if you asked for one, it's in the mail. it won't be on time, but i never did call them "xmas cards" and the holidays aren't officially over until sometime in early january. maybe i should have been a lawyer!
i've been wearing my green santa hat (see the cam shot below) all day long and, even though my scalp is a little sweaty, i'm going to keep it on while i attempt to brave the mall to pick up the pictures i had framed and try to find a suitably sappy card for meghan. i'm not looking forward to the mall. it was hell yesterday when i tried to accomplish these tasks. i took one look at the state of the parking lots and went straight home. i'm not a masochist! at least not in that sense.
in case i return to the muteness of late, i want to take this opportunity to wish all of you, my *cough*lovely*cough* readers, a very merry ho-ho and the happiest of 2003's. i'm honoured you come by to visit and let me visit with you as well.
smooches!
