OT: The Grinch here

okay...for those of you who don't enjoy the holidays:

You can figure out exactly how many more you have left to suffer through.

Personally, I'm going to start taking more vacations after seeing how many seconds I have left to go!!

I better change my generally sunny disposition in a hurry (insert sarcasm here) or I'm a goner!

Nuttin' going on here...kids in Springfield, Dad's still reading the paper, I've about got the one crossword done, working on the NYT's Sunday monster...

BUT! I did have the *most* wonderful cuppa in my ~new~ Jura espresso machine...a present to moi from moi...

Can I fix you gals a cuppa? Latte or cappuccino (sp?)

Cheers!
Susie

Well Skipperita (yes that's what we were!) I have Miss Silvia to make my ever grateful latte in the morn and in the p.m. at time. So I don't worry about nada! Just go for the gusto! Merry Christmas!

(primal scream) NOOOOOOOOOooooooo. I - was - a - SKIPPER! Dramatic collapse across chaise lounge. Aggggghh. Uncontrollable sobbing.

Well, so happy you have your sweet bride to lavish such attention upon you, Skippy (stifled laughter) - but in all seriousness, you deserve every blessing...and here's to a fabulous Christmas and a totally wonderful new year!

Re: OT: The Grinch here correction here....

I should explain Miss Silvia is my espresso machine (that's the model name, really) with which I lavish attention on my bride of 34 yrs!

Merry Christmas to you and yours!

I either have to lose weight or get a lot taller. They say..

that "only the good die young" so I should be good for a long time yet.
Hope that everyone had a great holiday.
Best wishes for a happy and healthy New Year.

Re: I either have to lose weight or get a lot taller. They say..

I'd opt for taller. In my next life, I'm gong to be 6'2". *That's* going to be fun. A friend in college used to stand at the head of a regulation billiard table and collect the balls from the side pockets. Then he'd grin.
