I received many more awesome cards yesterday, including one from ladydark1 , arual8604 , thisgirl_is , my darling jayfromperth , and accioscar (WHO SENT ME JAFFACAKES OMFG HEAVEN!!!), and my precious byaghro (who sent me a mini journal that I am already using!  WOOOT!) YOU GUYS ARE MADE OF AWESOME!!!  *glomps with love* The Christmas tree is up and decorated, all presents are wrapped, and a couple of gifts are made.  I also fixed one of my bracelets.  I am now wearing eight bracelets on one arm and beginning to feel like a gypsy woman, but WHICH ONE WOULD I TAKE OFF?  I LOVE THEM ALL. I haven't written a bloody word this weekend, though not for lack of wanting to.  TOO FREAKING BUSY!  We should be allowed to clone ourselves during the holidays.  Yes? Happy almost holidays, everyone!  *hearts*

Oh, Brittany Murphy...

*weeps*

I'm going to miss her. A LOT.

Oops! Nothing like getting a bounced transaction notice from the bank five days before Christmas. At least it was money going to a good cause. Not that it made my husband frown any less. Yes, I realize we need to eat on Christmas too, darling. ;-p

So a great big THANK YOU to anthimaeria for her gift. Would you believe I actually cried a little bit when I saw the donation notification email this morning, sweetheart? *hearts* Thanks for your generosity, and believe me, it couldn't have come at a better time.

The snow has canceled most everything today, so I'm going to take what would normally be a busy afternoon, make a pot of mechante_fille's coffee, reply to those thoughtful comments on yesterday's post, and relish the opportunity to read my flist.

As an aside, remember these people? Well, they're having an "Adult" Christmas Party tonight. ;-p My husband shook his head when I gleefully showed him the invitation. "It's not what you think," he said. "Not Ken and Barbie." Damn, he's probably right. Still, I'm thinking panties optional, y/y? What's the harm?

♥ to you all. I hope the weekend is treating you well. If you're in the path of the Mid-Atlantic blizzard today, please think about popping in on your elderly neighbors to see if they're okay.
