Sorry.
Really I got too lazy to post the one, and too angry to post the other.
And now I want to post up a storm, as it were, but it's 2:24 and I am still sitting here in my pajamas.
Here is what I have already done this weekend (in no particular order):
- watch For the Bible Tells Me So
- get out of bed
- read big swathes of the internet, as prescribed by Five Star Friday
- watch the snow continue to fall, twelve hours after it was supposed to stop
- get dressed
- watch some old episodes of My Name Is Earl
- write and send Christmas cards to those who have sent them to me
- write my annual wintertime e-mail
- buy wrapping paper
- get a bunch of boxes together
- go to the office to wrap the presents I left there
- ship presents to far-away folks
- clean my room
- quickly tidy the rest of the house
- clean the refrigerator, in case we're having Christmas here and I need to find room for a goose and a roast beef
- do something to make the potted Norfolk pine I'm using as a Christmas tree look festive without breaking it
- go to church
- shovel the walk
- buy one more present
- ah, hell. Two more.
- make sure my sweater with the baby Jesus on it is clean and presentable
- call the butcher to see if the goose we ordered is in
- pick up goose and roast beef, if so
- watch Harakiri
- reorder my Netflix list, because I have no idea why Harakiri is even on there
- write that blog post about Rick Warren
- write that new Anonymous Comment Experiment post
- dust
- figure out where we'll put presents so my sister's bichon doesn't eat them
- bake?
- shovel the walk again, after tomorrow's storm

You have a sweater with the Baby Jesus on it??!
I do. I have this sweater, in fact. That link is from ebay, and will be no good after January 16, but QVC doesn't seem to have the sweater anymore. It is a very special sweater.
You ordered a goose from a butcher? I thought you were in New England.
(I'm impressed, and wistful. Christmas here is going to be 40% vegetarian.)
Our Christmas guests will not at all be vegetarian, but our meal will be 50 percent vegetarian:
-mashed potatoes
-brussels sprouts
-salad
-goose
-dressing
-roast beef
-plum pudding direct from Takoma Park
-some other dessert that does not contain suet
Where would you get a goose?
The question hasn't come up before, but I dunno, Whole Foods, I guess. I don't even have a local butcher shop, except one specializing in cylindrical Italian meats.
