Coffee and chocolate this morning... and the remains of a good book, and more classical music... And a metaphysical waltz through a forest of rods, straightening things up as I go (don't ask, I can't explain)

Life is Good, y'all!

If you're actually asking it's the day the landlord would box up his xmas leftovers and send it to his tenant farmers or the poor. Also brit isles bank holiday.

Pretty simple actually. On the 2nd of next year (aka, Sunday) take your old calenders find the pretty pictures. Carefully take apart an envelope to use as a pattern and cut around it. Fold up your calender page in a manner like (fishy need more coffee-break out the french press) the pattern. Use glue, stickers or Steam-a-Seam to seal envelope. Put an address label on front. Pre-sticky stamps work best--if you gonna use lickems I suggest putting on a small garage sale type sticky label under it so it has something to grab onto.

Ask questions if this makes no sence.

hmmm......it smells so....fishy.....in here today!

I'm remembering why I flaked out and quit working. *big heavy heaving sigh* Why again am I starting back at it? Oh yes..... [imagining the electricity company coming to shut us off].

A quick shot of sustenance and then I gotta run......

happy monday y'all

and BHA

very expensive bottle of Bordeaux and sit by the fire

I've got a '96 Margaux under the house and a fire pit in the back yard. What say you?

MMmmm.. Stuart... how come you never offer to let ME into your backyard??? are you scared??

stuart · Post by **stuart** » Mon Dec 27, 2004 11:56 am

well, yes. As of this weekend I am officially scared of charming girls when I am shit-can hammered.

besides, you have plans for NYE already.

I am gonna bust out my playa dusty inflatable sofas and get a fire going in the back yard. Outdoor chill out for the smokers. Seems like what BHA was looking for.

But tasty.

They had Stagg chili in boxes .. about the size of a kid's juice box, for 69 cents (limit 6 for cardholders). A single serving per box. I like the idea ... less waste and boxes can be burned and they store more compactly, less wasted space than a box of round cans.
That's six per card holder per trip. So hit all you local safeways daily until tuesday. Unless of course, like the fishy, you don't like chili.

da Koosh don't like it, either. Which is fine - more for her husband that way.

Perfect. Just perfect. Reminds me of 1/1/00 when the wind dropped to nothing after midnight, no planes were flying due to fear of the millenium bug, and a handful of us built a fire on the beach and snuggled down real close by. Then we watched the sunrise at the easternmost point in New York State as a bagpiper greeted the dawn atop the lighthouse.

I didn't mention that I was tripping lightly on mushrooms at that point and ran into my mom and stepfather on the beach a few minutes after the sunrise. THAT was pretty amusing.

It's going to be fucking hard to be apart from you on Friday. I am, however, really really really excited about what 2005 will bring--mostly you.

Hmm. Maybe it's time for a trip to the library:

Er. I mean. Time to get that belly-rubbing hand ready for a goood loong belly rub.

Yeah. That's what I meant to say.

And yarn! Dancing yarn. And catnip! Too.

...Waitin' for the end of the world. Good lord! I sincerely hope it's coming...

GuinivereElise · Post by **GuinivereElise** » Mon Dec 27, 2004 12:53 pm
