Happy Holidays

Jer and I are the proud owners of a new television set. It's a spiffy 26" flat screen Panasonic. We managed to fit it in the back of Jer's convertible with a top-down, load-in, top-up maneuver and it's now plugged in and functioning (splendidly) in the living room.

It's amazing what you can fit in the back of a convertible when you don't mind your knees stuck under your chin. I think our crowning achievement remains the cat condo/skyscraper. That baby was strapped down, wedged in, and a source of much amusement among the other drivers on the freeway. That's a nice way of saying people laughed at us. And pointed. Pointed with their fingers of mockitude.

Tomorrow, our dear friend and former roommate, Lily, flies out to spend her birthday with us and it looks as if "The Cheesecake Factory" will figure prominently in the festivities. Sheets are washed, towels are in the dryer, and the remaining unpacked boxes have been straightened. We're set for company. Whee!

And now I can sleep. Because otherwise I predict a sixty-two percent chance of crankiness.
