Cheers!

I should be in bed right now, but I just can't make myself go just yet.

Things are going very well for me today. It's been a good couple of days, but today was the bestest. (Okay, not the bestest, but definitely the best so far.)

Today, The Old Lady went to Bingo. (That's a temp nick ... I think.) While she was gone, I tidied things up a bit. She noticed too. I thought she'd make a fuss, but she didn't. In fact, she gave me carte blanche to do whatever I wanted with the kitchen.

Cool.

Still have to wait for the garage to empty and some storage shelves to go up though, otherwise I would have overhauled everything today. I'm not sure what I enjoyed more ... making the place feel like mine, or having the afternoon all to myself.

Got a brief reply from Lynne ... in the usual spot (her site) and on the one message among others that I new she'd instantly reply to upon reading. I tried to send her a "chatty" e-mail as per her request, but I've never been able to write anything "chatty" under pressure. Those kind of messages come when I'm bored, but still in a good mood. Then I end up sounding like the Mayor's wife in The Colour Purple. If you haven't seen it, do. It's one of my faves.

Bonus points to anybody who buys it on DVD for me. Yule is coming, you know. Are you listening, Jade? No, of course you aren't. You never read this thing. *sigh*

Elly isn't listening either. Not that I expect anything from him but Christmas cheer. ;)

Speaking of which, The Old Lady asked me where I was putting the Tree. I was surprised. Hadn't even thought about it ... and I said so. I mean, can't we get past Samhain before I worry about Yule?

*gets wheedling look on face* I've got a fire pit over here, Lynne. I'm not sure where your cauldron is, but I think I have a subsitute ... or I can buy a new one, if it pleases you. We can have a traditional chant with hot coco and marshmallows. (Okay, maybe some mulled wine for the traditional part, but coco or cider is good too!) I have cinnamon sticks for the cider too! And lots and lots of crackers ...

I think I'll go away and think about that for a bit ...

Sweet Dreams!!
