I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas - Music Video

Oh yeah, I've been a little late in the year with this!! LOL

Pretty neat

For those of you interested in charitable gifting for the holidays, this is a pretty neat idea.

Vain much?

Here is my new have to have Christmas gift!

Survey of the teenage mind

Demons

I'm wrestling them. I'm not a very skilled wrestler. There are some that don't even belong to me and yet they must be taken on. Winter is a long, dreary season that I am certain, year after year, will never end. I feel altered, like I am not behind the steering wheel of my own bus. Truly, I want only the simplest of things, and yet the road to them seems to be filled with avalanches and potholes and herds of shepherdless farm animals. From point A to point B without all the twist and turns.... Measuring time in five minute chunks I can maneuver through. Blah.

Tomorrow is the dentist day the kids look forward to every six months. They can barely be put to bed with the ecstasy of it all. I hope they don't lose that for a long, long time. Maybe ever. Can I can it up for them? They seem to have so much of it. Save it for a rainy day?

Worry not. Everything here is fine. No badness. Just differentness.

Voted!!

I waited on line for an hour, had a nice chat with a woman who was clearly voting differently than myself, and then listened to NPR on the way to work. From that drive I can pass along these peer lending sites to you who do not wish to borrow from conventional lenders.

I've never used them to borrow, but I like to feel smart and ahead of the curve and NPR helps me feel that way!
