Where do you get those? :mrgreen: Fedora, a self-cleaning house? Kids that do homework without prodding? Automatic kitchen duty without effort? Oh, to live in a world like that! Lynn, that's fabulous! Our next vehicle is going to be one that gets better gas mileage. My Trailblazer does fine on the highway, but little errands are killer. And 95% of my driving is little errands... Rachel, elves would be fantastic! Where do you get those?

Lynn, that’s fabulous! Our next vehicle is going to be one that gets better gas mileage. My Trailblazer does fine on the highway, but little errands are killer. And 95% of my driving is little errands…

I love driving it and watching the little meter tell me I'm getting 33.4 miles to the gallon. Yay! Rhonda, he got a Ford Escape Hybrid.

Why can't the house clean itself, and the kids get their own homework done and clean up after themselves and dinner cook itself and then clean up? Oh wait, I must be dreaming... come on, elves!!

I have bought all my gifts and they are patiently waiting for me to get off my expanding backside to wrap them. (that's for today, with any luck) The tree is still in a semi-naked, bikini model sort of state. (That being that it's got the basics on, but not much else is covered) There's tons of cookies to be baked (no ambition) and dishes to do (less than no ambition) Cards and pictures to be shoved into envelopes, addressed and mailed. And I'd really, really like a nap, but with the daughter on the loose, there's only a slim chance of that. Oh, yes, and I should really write something one of these days. Let's go kidnap some elves to do some of these things. The List, as it stands now, is insanely long.

I've entered no contests, I have no books at any publishing houses. I have one partial with an agent and if I get a Christmas desk cleaning rejection, I'm back to square one. The couple chapters of the Blaze I have is far, far from being considered an iron. Sigh...

But don't worry. You'll get it all done. Kimberly, I'm sure your house isn't that bad. You're too organized to let things go too far. :angel: Ooo, Lynn I love spending money! What sort of vehicle did he get? Andrea, what about that Blaze iron you were working on??? Ginger, sorry about your finger! (But I am *so* glad you liked my book!) Danniele, sorry about your finger, too! Have you tried that "skin" stuff that sort of like nail polish? I always use that stuff on hand cuts and it helps. Eek, Jen. But don’t worry.

I sliced open the section between my right thumb and next finger with a butter knife. Still hurts like h*ll. I’m right there with you on the finger, Ginger.

I want a quiet day!!! :rant: and I don't mean maybe. I dinged the *&^%$## out of my "bird" finger yesterday and it's a little purple and soar but thankfully not broken!!! And I'm stopped up, this crazy weather! My goody for the day is that I finished Rhonda's book last night, what a great read and I am looking forward to Jennifer's sequel :cheer: My whine is recovering from yesterday, it was crazy here at the school.

As I told Kimberly last night, I don't even have any irons in the fire. Sigh... That all sounds about right except I have no book due, which is a whine all on its own.
