So *squee!* after all the waiting and anxiety and busy rushing around, Christmas is finally here! I was able to sleep in a bit, because I am still kinda crampy, but not bad. I am a morning person, you know, and when I was little this was also the case, especially on Christmas. I would probably get up at 5 or 6 am. Of course the rule was that we kids (my brother and I) were not allowed to go downstairs first, we had to wait for Dad to go and see if Santa came. And I wanted to wake him up so bad, but knew it was so early. I would usually pace the hall for a bit, between their room and mine. And pretend I had to go to the bathroom probably. And try to quietly lure the dog and get him to wake everyone up. And as a last resort sneak into my brother's room, and because he was younger, make him wake up to get everyone moving. No one could get mad at the little kid! Not that anyone got mad at either of us...it was Christmas! But some reasonable hours were probably appreciated. And surely, my hijinks early in the mornig were completely obvious, as I am not really that sneaky or graceful or secretive, and I am a terrible liar and plotter. I was probably simply ignored so the parents could get a few more minutes of sleep! LOL! But I remember it taking FOREVER to wake everyone up, and this was my self-imposed duty.

 

Now I wait for my hubby to wake up, and he is the night owl. He did come to bed early so we could get moving to my parents house soon, and I will give him a little more sleep time. or maybe I can get the dog to wake him up...

 

I hope you all have a great day!

"But then Haji saw the north star shining more then ever

So he made a tourniquet from his turban saving Trevor

They repelled down the roof with the rest of the turban

and went back to the pub where they bought each other bourbon"

Happy Christmas Eve all! 

Below, the Ornament I did for Ornament Thursday on Art Bead Scene. I called her Party Pixie. I kinda really love the red ladybug shoes. It's a tribute to one of my favorites songs. You probably know the one...

Whoopsie! It's already dinner time and I totally forgot to blog today. It's been kinda crazy, I had writing stuff and photography to do this morning for my last big Art Bead Scene post of the year tomorrow. Then some shipping and stringing and random giftmaking and cleaning stuff. Totally just haphazardly running around without a list, maybe that's why I feel so out of sorts. And the parties and get togethers start tomorrow, so I am a little panicky. We went for a walk with Zoey which started to calm me down, but then we went to the grocery store which made me anxious again. Now we are settled home and I am going to clean a little while we listen to a cd I just found in the Faerie Con pile that I didn't listen to. It's very Celticy which is cool because of the Solstice and all and is quite calming.

In stark contrast to the calming Faerie music, the song today is Elvis Costello with "The Angels Wanna Wear My Red Shoes". Oh how funny, its old! I was only 4 years old when this was on, I think it is from Top of the Pops. Look how poorly Elvis is lipsyncing. He probably hated that, lol!

YAY! Happy Thanksgiving all! Just a quick post this morning as I wait for the hubby to wake up. We are spending the day at my parents' house. My brother arrived from Philly, which I am excited about. We have turkey and all the trimmings AND a Tofurky too. I will have some of each, please!
