Zzzzzzz (Children nestled all snug in their beds, while visions of sugarplums dance in their heads.)

Hi Fairy! We've done something similar a couple times in my family as well. We don't do it every year. But when we were in Germany my girls and I drew names for the person we were supposed to shop for. We went to Euro Store and we could spend 5 euro each. We also did the same when they came to visit me in Bali. We had so much fun! They have good stuff in those dollar stores, and you can buy a lot for cheap!


My favorite tradition is going to a movie on Christmas day. It's a must! This year Mark and I are meeting in Germany and we already have plans to go see the new Avatar on Christmas day.

Love Gilmore Girls! What did you think of the 2016 A Year in the Life episodes?

Haunting of Hill House

Current season of Survivor

In the taxi heading home from work. I just finished ordering a big, fat pizza to be delivered just after I get home. A hot, cheesy pepperoni pizza sounds perfect on a cold, rainy day.

Wow, very stressful, Crystal! I hope it works out in your favor!


Thinking I haven’t decorated for Christmas in ten years. I’ve been living internationally that long now, and I always travel over winter break for three weeks. That’s one of the things I’m looking forward to when I move back to the USA.

I’m not a religious person, but I can understand wanting a set of guidelines to pattern your life after. There are a lot of things about religion that bring people comfort.

I’ve done everything on my travel bucket list, some of them more than once. I still enjoy travel, but there’s nowhere new left that I have a super strong yearning to see.

Outgoing

Waiting on Zoom for a meeting with someone, but they are 10 minutes late. I'm thinking they probably forgot.

That's fun, Crystal! I hope you end up loving it! I need a new one too.






What's your favorite musical, Poetry? When Mark and I go to Salzburg next month we are taking the Sound of Music tour. I've done it once before, but I loved it and can't wait to do it again!

Thinking The Haunting of Hill House is a really good show! Mark and I are on episode 5 and we are hooked. Can't believe I haven't watched it before now.

Feeling like the weekend went by way too quickly.

We blondes get a bad rap.

Aw, c'mon Mowtown...can't you see these gentlemen are cheapskates trying to get it for free? Otherwise they'd go to the sites that were designed for that.

Since snap judgments based on not actually knowing anything about a person seem to be okay with you, I’ll go ahead and make one about you. Your reply tells me you’re cranky, judgmental and entitled.

Heading home from school; stuck in traffic.

I think many of us have had the “Damned if you do, damned if you don’t” experience. You’re assuming that when we reply and politely say we are not interested (in some variation) that all men take it well. Not all do. Some get very offended and even belligerent. It’s not worth it. No answer IS an answer. It’s no indication of whether a woman has common courtesy.

Working. I took a sick day, so I'm home, but I've been working on school stuff for most of the day. It's such a busy time of year, and I feel like I can't get caught up. Four more weeks until winter break!

Nope! I'm awake! Nice to see you, KitKat!

Maybe Vibes now?
