You can go stalk S. He is in your neck of the woods today. And he was also in Oxnard. :evil:

Alas, that would require me leaving my cozy little office.....

It has been steadily raining here since 2ish. This town was not built to handle steady rain.

I went to the grocery store. I ended up with $65 worth of stuff for $18. I love getting gift cards at work.

Now I get to cut up the fudge I made at 5am and get the pans ready for 2 more batches. I also get to make a batch of cookies (now that I found all of my cookie recipes).

I have 2 weeks worth of baking and 5 days to do it in...where did December go???

There's a lovely patter outside our window.

There's a loverly Padder in my kitchen.

I got out today and actually took care of about half of my Christmas shopping. I'm hoping to finish it up tomorrow. I usually spend the first trip just looking but I'm finally getting smart and realizing I don't have that kind of time.

Tonight I decorated my little tree and that's quite an accomplishment for me. This is the first year in a while that I managed to actually get a tree up and decorated. One year I didn't bother at all and last year I didn't get past lights. I bought a four-foot prelit tree this year and covered it with as many ornaments as possible. It looks rather nice.

I may get some time to play this week after all.:)

Oh yeah...I went to the 99 Cents Store and I see that's where bad ideas go to die. I picked up some "unique" stocking stuffers: Tow Mater Dat Gum! Lip Wax (with a key chain), a 3" Scary Spice figure, Count Wonkula Bloodberry Donutz (Just for Halloween!). But the real find was a pack of six Nsync buttons (Official Tour Merchandise circa 2000).

Two days into the week, and I have already racked up 23 hours and 38 minutes.

Well, it started raining in NB just in time for my commute home, LOL.

In other news, I seem to be winning the war for my body :)

Soooo....
 

Ekkk i get a rat for Xmas from my coworker i'm so happy. It's the one i had my eye on too. I get her on Friday since she doesn't have the money to get her til then. She was put on hold in the back room and my coworkers know not to put her back out on the main selling floor. Plus she's throwing in a cage for free too. :) Really sweet of her to do. She's like Remey looks like Remey from Ratatouille too all grey but underneath is white :) I got to hold her this afternoon. SO much better than my hamster. I can't even hold her.

Yeah... I'm SOOOO happy about her new stupid rat... :mad:

Jovi's good at getting into things, and Johnny's a pretty efficient killer, so with any luck, the rodent problem will be a self solving one.
