I've seen Penny wear nice clothes from Costco. I don't like buying anything without trying it on, and there aren't any mirrors there.
I had to watch that with the volume off (at work) and was wondering: What's up with that guy with the flaming stick between his legs?However it will never reach the cinematic glory of his LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD AND THE MONSTERS....in ColorScope.

That was as bizarre as the Barbara Eden clip.

Ours has mirrors but no changing rooms. But you are allowed to give anything back even bathing suits. For the most part i can try things on (i've gotten a jacket there). Or if it's a sweater i can pull it over my tshirt. Pants is very hard (one time i wore a skirt and tried it on that way. For pjs (which i get there every year) i wear stretch pants and just make sure they can fit over them.
Our Costco does often have special vendors that come in just to sell a certain line for a week or two. Those things are usually more expensive than Costco's regular stuff.
DR John G. YUM!!!They did have egg in them as a binder.
Yes rain all day is the prediction for my locale.
DR JMK I am sure that DR MBARNUM will be happy to hear that K Gordon Murray's SANTA CLAUS is on DVD....he may already have it.

Still no People in the Picture. Of course those in far off Rangoon received theirs days ago.

Would Egg Beaters work as a binder?
TOD - I, too, loved MIDNIGHT IN PARIS, but had trouble with Owen Wilson as the romantic lead. I've been trying to think of someone I'd rather see in the part, but I don't know enough 40-ish actors. Nathan Fillion, maybe? We saw the movie in the theater while preparing for our trip to Paris and again on the plane when we returned.
PAGE TWO!!
I'll say it again:PAGE TWO!!

And I guess I should start getting ready for today's "condensed" presentations of MY FAIR LADY. We'll be taking the show on the road to Westminster Canterbury, which is an assisted living/retirement community here in Richmond. In fact, the actress playing Mrs. Higgins is a resident there. They have a nice auditorium there and two pianos (I hope), and we will be presenting a "greatest hits" one hour version of the show. They will also be providing us with dinner between shows, which, if the food quality has not gone down since the last time I ate there, should be quite delicious. The complex not only has the standard food service kitchens and dining halls, but it also has its own restaurant.
DR JMK - Is this what one of your solo gigs looks like?

How are you doing, TCB? Are those maraschino cherries for old fashioneds, by any chance?
I see that DR TCB is in good form today. I hope that means he's feeling a bit better.
I haven't much news. I had a few hairs cut and gave my hairdresser his Christimas present. Oh, yes, I did some laundry. I do feel in R&R mode.
And since I believe these are due today...
~~~~~LAST-MINUTE PACKING AND SAFE TRAVEL VIBES FOR DR JANE AND HER EVER-LOVIN' KEITH~~~~~
Yesterday was my unit'sChristmasHoliday Lunch. We always go at three o'clock, so that no one has to return to work, especially if they have had a drink. This year they decided that for my sake, they would hold the lunch at Anthony's at Point Defiance a half mile from my house). This was the same restaurant where Jane, Keith, George, and I ate a couple of summers ago.
Everyone thought I was crazy, because I ordered their special macaroni and cheese. It was pretty fantastic, especially since they blended Dungeness crab and shrimp into the dish.

Today has been a good day. I am getting a terrible cough, but fortunately no cold with it - yet.

That was nice of them to make it close to your house, not a bad choice for a restaurant either. :)
George, have you ever had pizza from Garlic Jim's? I see that they have cashews as one of their toppings.

I haven't...I'd only just recently heard of them. I had a coupon that expired, but I do want to try it.
Early travel vibes to Jane and Keith!

Thank you, DR Laura.
Good evening. I had talked about going to see mom and dad today, but they sounded so good last night and had nothing for me to do, so I told them that I'd wait until Friday as planned. So at noon today i got a call from Dad "Hi! Where are you?" I said "In my office" he said "OH, we were waiting for you to arrive so we could go to lunch" lol....I guess the short term memory is still a bit shakySounds like my folks. And bless them all.
Heather Headley sings "Over the Rainbow." I think I half enjoyed it.

Had a splendidly splendid visit with the darling daughter. We chatted, then had lunch at Mo's, then went and got her her Christmas present - her cell phone is basically dead and besides that was from the year One. She's never gotten any kind of service where she lives - she was worried that would still be the case with any new phone, but the At&T guy assured her that it was absolutely the ancientness of her phone and its sim card - both over seven years old. We found her a spiffy new phone - the phone itself, after rebate, was only about fifty bucks and it suits all her needs - little keyboard, pretty color, touch screen, etc. So, for the rest of her present I paid her current bill and six months in advance so she doesn't have to worry about another cell phone bill until July.
Happy first night of Chanukah!

Day 7: Lawse, yes...I have a parent with memory issues. Primarily, I was told that I would be doing all the driving this year and that "she" (i.e. my mom) would say nothing. The gist here is that my mom hates riding with other people. When she does, there is an onslaught of expressions, breath intakes, warnings, second-guessings of the driver's capacity to read road signs or recognize traffic lights. In short, it' s nervewracking unless she refrains from said behavior.
All of that said, she has not yet kept her promise. In point of fact, I daresay she' s incapable of doing same until she is prepared to relinquish " control".
Sigh.
Today was meant to be simple: We were going to CostCo in Augusta GA, followed by a trip to the Augusta Mall. The reason was that we decided to forgo our annual drive to Greenville SC. That decision was mine following Day 6's annual drive to Spartanburg SC to visit our cousin, Dot, have lunch at Wade's, and to make a trip to a cemetery to place holiday flowers on the graves of my grandparents and great grandparents. It was nervewracking. Nothing happened...no near-incidents...just comments about my speed (I was driving too fast even though I was under the speed limit). My stops were too abrupt, my starts were too fast, my lane changes were not what they should be, etc. There was no way I was going through that again today, or so I thought.
Sigh.
Day 5 was Sunday and I drove only a couple of miles with no comments.
So, today was a rough one and completely unenjoyable. I am going nowhere else that involves me driving longer than 10 minutes. I hope the remainder of my stay is uneventful by comparison.
Seriously Cilla, I am greatly relieved that your parents are safe. It is frightening to think they could have lost everyting had they not been home when the lamp blew. Best vibes to you and your parents.
Lord, when does this supposed vacation begin???Amen to that. I just spent way too much time rewriting a paper I had already turned in.

Happy Hanukkah to those who celebrate!
DR Jane, my mom had not bought me a kindle. IT was such an awkward topic to bring up. So i just asked how come she hadn't asked me what i wanted. And she replied that she knew i always like to choose my own things. And that there would be more sales on Boxing Day. I told her about winning the kindle and before that had asked if she had gotten me anything as a surprise. So i think we're good. :)

Well, Samantha told me a lot more than anyone else did. She said the smoke was so thick in the house she couldn't tell what was on fire. Then mom and dad wouldn't leave the house even though the smoke was thick. I am very glad I'm going up on Friday. it's hard because i have some really big things happening at work. So I'm going to really try to focus for the next two days and get a number of motions done and research done. I'll probably be taking some work home.
Time for "The Bishop's Wife." Love it.
I still have written ZERO Christmas cards so........

Prunes for dessert?
Oh, yeah. Not that horror of a remake.Time for "The Bishop's Wife." Love it.
The original I presume. :D
And...Guess you're not dancing all night tonight.
Frankly...
I'm already tired and sleepy. And I have two full shows tomorrow, so...
Goodnight.
