fredericksIf you replied here, you have a card full of my lovely semi-coherent scribblings sitting in my bag waiting to be dropped in the mailbox and sent to your abode. Looking at last year's post to get the info on the rest of y'all, I started wondering whether a couple of folks hadn't moved in the last year. So please reply to the first linked comment if you want a card, full-stop. It just makes things easier on me as I attempt to be organized.
Our tree is up and decorated, and it looks fabulous. It's a bushy unruly mess after my own heart. As we were decorating I told everyone to think of it as a Monet, with its wonderful kickassedness (sp?) only truly apparent from a distance. I don't think I had any takers on that line of thought.
I didn't end up seeing the new Disney flick this w/e, but I did do some preliminary Christmas shopping for the brolets. It's so hard shopping for kids nowadays; everything is electronic and expensive as all hell, and you just know anything you pick up will be obsolete by the time next year comes around. I'm horrible at gifting, anyway. Mainly because I detest shopping and I'm not creative enough to produce something of my own design.
Finished First Lord's Fury. I marathoned it yesterday night. Jebus, but there was a lot of action in that last book. I do like the way Butcher leaves the keys to the Alera Universe open for a sequel of sorts, not too sure if I was completely enamored with the way everything resolved, but meh. I'm not spending too much time pondering candy reading. I would start the new Stephen King book next, but I need something I can read during my commute and that thing is entirely too heavy to tote around the subway. I'm taking any suggestions for fantasy books/series in paperback that I can pick up during my next trip to the bookstore.
Yay! to not working this weekend. *grin*
That is all.
