I should think we need a frenzy or three or I shall see no reason to send out any gifts.

I wrote a few more pages and only have about five more to go before I put it away for the night - I'll probably watch something then come back to it.

I have sent the same email with attachments three times today. Oy! Two were returned as undeliverable., and thirty minutes ago I got an email saying that account was now dead and to use a new address. Oy.

So, now my day calms down.

Finished the lovely Fleming CAPRICCIO but can't upload my review due to a site glitch.  So am now working on choral arrangements.  No rest for the weary and/or wicked.

I survived, not one, but two MRI's today.  The secret is to keep your eyes closed from the moment they start to slide you into the tube until after they pull you out.  I kept my eyes closed and visualized myself on a beautiful sandy beach in Grand Cayman.  Piece of cake!

Well, two expensive new medications for Rex with the hope that the "mixed results" work out in our favor.

I'm glad it'll be a little warmer tomorrow.  It was only 17 degrees this morning when I left for work.

DR TCB, I'm glad you found a "happy place" to visit during your MRIs.

I think history has shown us that most posting is done now by eight.  And we are at a VERY low number.  This, of course, WILL NOT DO.

Oy!  I lit a hazelnut coffee Yankee Candle in my livingroom tonight and after a while began a sneezing fit that lasted a half hour.  I never had such a reaction to a scented candle before.

Like I said, oy!

I am playing my first Words With Friends game on the Book of Face with my niece and I do have to say that I am whooping her butt (though I think a lot of has to do with having some incredible luck with the letters I've been doled.)

Not sure how I feel about WWF.  It's a complete rip-off of Scrabble.  I know there was some controversy about the whole thing a few years ago when it first began.  But I'm kind of shocked that the owners of Scrabble didn't sue the pants off WWF's parent company.

I'm also if this version of the game has been reconfigured to be easier--there seems to be more vowels and the placement of the triple word spaces seem to be easier to access, but perhaps I'm misremembering the actual Scrabble board.

But in any case, I'm currently more than 100 points ahead of my niece.

It's 28 degrees here in the South of Jersey.  And the snowflake indicator on my weather station thingy is blinking.  Uh-oh...

Good thing Carolyn put on her coat and boots and got over there and woke Edith up.  Otherwise this thing could have dragged on for days.

Okay, DR Cillaliz, you can take us to page five.  I need to hit the hay.
