Yes, a postal worker. Same place where they made me sign the back of my credit card before they would let me pay with it. Not look at my ID. Not understand that, duh, my signature on the card and the slip are going to match. You just watched me sign it! Freaks. I love it here.

When I saw those as the Christmas stamps in the machine, I laughed so hard. I'd have absolutely said to the dumb-ass postal worker, "You're the pagans selling them, you moron."

Bubba's sis: in a hand-basket!
Tim and I watched a very interesting show on the history channel last nite about the evolution of Christmas as a holiday. An evolution from a pagan celebration, I might add.

hey, would you like to see the nursery?

After a very productive week/weekend, the nursery is just about done. I think the only thing I want to do is whip up a simple padded headboard and Hubby needs to trim down the legs on a little footstool. That's it! Finally! So without further ado... This is what you see when you walk in the door. Too bad the baby won't be able to appreciate it right away. (And I'll apologize right off the bat for having some wonky-colored photographs in this post. I just don't have the energy to fix things. At least on my monitor, the above pic is roughly true-to-life.) Would you like to see that awesome rug a little better? Man, I love it.
