Well, you've read the notes, the notes were written on the day before the day of the Do, and now it is time for you to post until the day before the day of the Do cows come home.

Around 8:45 I will walk over to my old haunt, the Barnes & Noble on 82nd and Broadway. I need to redeem some gift cards and pick up a box of Godiva chocolates for my Christmas brunch hosts. I used to have Christmas brunch wit6h my goddaughter's family, but after her father made it all too clear we were no longer friends my invitations stopped/

Curiously, two night ago I had a dream in which he and I were stuck on a project together, and it was unpleasant.

Annabelle woke me at 6:30. She and Thatch wanted to open their presents. I told them it wasn't Christmas yet.

Thatch has discovered the joys of an empty Amazon box. He's pouncing on the one I will be taking to the basement very shortly, and I think he and Annabelle slept in it last night. I leave the empty cartons in the apartment for a day. That gives them time to play in it and to imagine from the scents all the places it's been.

Couldn’t have said it better myself.

But they’ve got to be good. Good ingredients and mouth filling chewy texture, as opposed to hard and cheaply mass produced.

Show was decent last night. Not the best, with little bloopers here and there, as it was the first night back after a distracting week for everyone. Which is mainly unfortunate because the videographer was there, doing what videographers do. But it played fine for the people.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #16 on:** December 23, 2017, 06:10:34 AM »

Show tonight, then on to my friend’s annual Christmas Eve Eve partay which I will be showing up at quite late so I shall have to hope that the better people and at least some of the better food are still around when I arrive.

Any new box that they show interest in, we generally leave around for a couple of days as well.

I wanted to get to Barnes & Noble early since I knew the store would be packed from my days working there. Well, it was a ghost town. A friend who still works there said it's been terrible, and we suspect its Amazon another online companies.

I remember when I left there in 2004 that the company then was pushing customers to shop online, so perhaps they did themselves in?

And guess what moron cannot find the gift cards worth about $70? I was sure they were in my wallet.

FJL · « **Reply #20 on:** December 23, 2017, 07:09:10 AM »

Some totally unexpected, but extremely welcome, gifts came yesterday. We are now scrambling a little to see if we have any way to get return gifts to those thoughtful people before Monday. (meaning by tomorrow)

elmore3003 · « **Reply #21 on:** December 23, 2017, 07:10:37 AM »

Thatch has been climbing into my bed in the past few days. I keep hoping that it's because he wants to be with me and Annabelle, but he runs away as soon as he sees me. He and Annabelle have been throwing my Harry Potter DVDs around; they want to watch them and they're impatient because I keep postponing this. Tonight we will watch "Mr Magoo's Christmas Carol."

The Christmas music is on. Annabelle and I need to go through the numerous CDs and find new homes for the ones we don't need to keep. There are far too many. This will have to be during the 6:00 news because she and Thatch are dancing to "Jingle Bell Rock." Over and over.

I should have never given them the remote.

It sounds as if MR BK has lots of amenities right in the new neighborhood!

We are having a dusting of snow today without more predicted for tomorrow.

On the 5 p.m. news last night, there was a report about a back up on I-70. A laundry detergent delivery truck had turned over and spilled its contents on the highway!

I messaged my sister because my niece and her husband were heading here from Maryland. She told them. They were about an hour away from the the trouble spot......

HOWEVER....the inner web told them that the problem was cleared up.....they didn't EXIT....and were stuck for 5 hours in said traffic jam.....

elmore3003 · « **Reply #28 on:** December 23, 2017, 08:21:39 AM »

This arrived in a holiday e-card from Best Friends, the organization whose adoption event resulted in Annabelle's coming home with me.
