Notice of Temporary Absence


Wherein Our Heroine Takes a Holiday.

Today is Our Hero's last day of work before a much-anticipated (and much deserved) 11-day break. As such, I will probably only be posting Extras for the next week and a half or so. My brain needs a rest from blogging and I want to spend lots of quality time with my brilliant husband (as far as we know, he got A's in both of his classes this semester! In the house of Our Heroine there was much rejoicing).

Random Bit the First: we actually watched part of the evening news yesterday. They did a spot on teenagers playing poker. Some asinine woman was interviewed and said that giving teenagers poker chips and cards was as dangerous as giving them guns. I had to turn off the TV at that point. It was that or explode. I couldn't figure out whether I was angrier at the idiot-woman for saying the idiot-thing or the network for broadcasting it without question or argument.

Random Bit the Second: Toshie the wonder-dog seems to have sprained his shoulder. We were playing frisbee yesterday. Given the opportunity, he would play until he dropped, but I usually watch him closely for signs of fatigue to ensure he doesn't overtire or get injured. But I indulged him yesterday, as we hadn't spent much time outside when the weather was so intensely cold. I gave him the fatal one-more-throw, and he came back limping. Poor little guy. He's still hobbling about today and I feel guilty.

None of this is very Christmassy, but that's all I've got for the moment. Check back occasionally for Extras and have a very happy winter celebration of your choice, Dear Readers.
