night things

it's ok, oprah can retire now. why? because Nate is getting his own show! horray!!!! there is a God (and her name is Oprah with a capital O :)

today i got an email from Barry Manilow. this man emails me ALL THE TIME with personal crap and it kind of bugs me.... today's email was all chipper-like and began "i'm alive!! i survived the surgery" :| well, since we are such good friends, you would think he would have mentioned the surgery in a previous email or on facebook or something????! he is such an oddball, that one... and he signed the email 'all best'... i hate 'best' but 'all best' is even worse :| all best... seriously

while we're on the subject of odd, how on earth are the most searched things on yahoo today:
1) victoria beckham
2) dave matthews band

either:
a) they died today (gawd, that would be just my luck - they will die just to make me look mean... that happens all the time)
b)............. i can't think of a b????!

i felt slightly homesick today. we stopped at the most sumptuous british store in the whole of the united states. they have e-v-e-r-y-t-h-i-n-g you can think of, including my favorite floor cleaning product ever that i would even fly home for, as i absolutely cannot and will not live without it. it smells like freshly cut flowers. anyway i bought like 10 bottles of disinfectant and a lot of crisps in various crazy flavors like tomato ketchup, roasted chicken, worcester sauce, steak and onion.... how can a country as great as america have such crappy crisps???! just to make the homesickness a little worse, i'm listening to kate bush which reminds me of home more than the beatles and blur and smiths all put together.... i must stop listening before i eat all those crisps to appease my homesick blues

with Santa today, the sock monkey needs ears, yes i know, it bothers me too :)

we made sugar cookie people :) the ladies had hershey kisses for breasts, naturally :)

we made ornaments. the ones i made have a check next to them :)


and i hung my nut thing on the door :) then had a panic attack that someone with a nut allergy would touch it and die on the doorstep, and took it down :(

a piece of the christmas card so far....
