On a day when so many were snowed in w/ nothing to do but read the paper, my client HitPoint Studios was a major story in not one but TWO local dailies: the Daily Hampshire Gazette *and* the Springfield Republican. Pretty awesome.

My “I forgot” post is the 1,000th article I have written on this blog. Of course, my archives (see blogroll) stretch to 1995. So, if you're looking to procrastinate, just catch up on Motormouth.

I forgot how excruciating it is, waiting for snow.

…and Mommy's TIRED, notwithstanding the fact I was in bed by 9:30 last night, after watching “Inception,” which I'm calling “SausageParty” because really, all those second-tier players and only one woman who wasn't a murderous dead wife or a flight attendant? Really??? Anyway, Monstro cooked the Christmas dinner of all Christmas dinners: mushroom strata, bleu-cheese-and-cauliflower tart, stuffing w/ pine nuts, pecans, mango, and sausage, and GOOSE. Christmas Goose. It was extraordinary. I think he was fueled by the fact that he'd unwrapped a FIRST EDITION hardcover Gravity's Rainbow that morning (thank you eBay). Lex opened his gifts with great abandon; BK opened about four and then decided he was done with the whole thing. He'll probably be unwrapping gifts through New Year's.

Today I've carried on the celebration by cleaning the kitchen (second load in the dishwasher now) and doing a little day-after-Xmas shopping online. Hope the dress fits 'cause I want to wear it on New Year's Eve!

Is here. Merry merry!

… in every sense. Didn't have to drive 200 miles, that was a plus! Got Mom's Christmas cards written & addressed. Just printed four restaurant.com gift certificates for the teachers in Lex's class — $100 worth of GCs for eight bucks. Niiice.
