Those frigging Barbie shoes are a serious menace, I'm telling you! In the middle of the night, they hop about and make sure to stop right where unsuspecting adult feet are going to land on a midnight bathroom trip. <br/><br/>Try not to be too bored. I have been thinking the same thing, that everyone has disappeared for the holidays. A boyfriend of mine from long ago was the single father of an 8-year-old Barbie fanatic.

Try not to be too bored. I have been thinking the same thing, that everyone has disappeared for the holidays.

The only legos we have are on the Lego Star Wars video games.<br/><br/>But for me, Christmas ain't over. Now I have to go shopping AGAIN so my teens can use all the freaking gift cards they got. I hate malls. Hopefully I can drop them off and wait in El Chico's until they're done. So glad the days of the Lil People are over. The only legos we have are on the Lego Star Wars video games.

North tip of Vancouver Island is wonderful for festive weather. It's rained 35 straight days. Last week, we had our lights on in the house ALL DAY. It was dark out at 1:30 in the afternoon. Seasonal affective disorder, anyone?<br/><br/>Only thing that made it bearable was having my folks here. Mom takes over the laundry, dad keeps up with the dishes, and I get to relax. Kinda. Between work and being sick as a sick dog's sick litter of sick, sick puppies, dealing with Xmas, writing and trying to make myself sit down and build a website, well, my marbles are everywhere but where they belong.<br/><br/>I feel like crawling on a handmade raft and escaping TO Cuba. I've got enough on my Visa and PLC to buy myself 13 all-inclusive weeks at a 4-star resort. If I don't bring my kids. It ain’t just a British feeling.

I prescribe thick coats, hats, scarves and a march to the park or even a country walk, followed by lunch in a pub. It's a very effective treatment. You’ve got that British winter feeling, December.

But it's acutally a good idea because it saves time when you build something and don't have to crawl under the wardrobe in search of that one little stone that makes the outer corner of a roof. :) Hehe, my mother made us collect all Lego not included in finished/ongoing projects and sort the wee buggers in boxes every evening.

The Man's aunt did a half assed job of Christmas dinner, dry turkey, stove top, and packaged gravy, then kept all the desserts for herself. No games, no fun, and everyone went home early. People bought The Boy a bunch of crap he'll never play with that I now have to find room for. <br/><br/>And the insurance company just wrote off our car that was rear ended while it was parked. <br/><br/>Merry Fucking Christmas. <br/><br/>SdB Yeah, I’m totally done with the holidays this year.
