God/dess Bless Us, Everyone.

Eeek!

what decade does your personality live in?

I had hoped to have made it out of the '80s -- but since I started high school in 1979 and graduated from college in 1988, I guess I shouldn't be surprised that that's the decade with the most impact on my sensibilities. (At least according to this quiz.)

Quick Update

My church held its traditional Christmas Eve Eve service tonight, attended by more people than I have seen at any service in the four years I've been attending. I participated by reading the story of the Wise Men.

Afterward, The Child and I dropped by the local mall for a quick trip into Suncoast Motion Picture Company for the last of the Christmas presents. I have to wrap everything tomorrow.

My mother gave me a perm for my birthday. Jeannie and her peers presented me with a $120 gift certificate to Gene Juarez (salon & spa), and a girlfriend at work gave me a belated birthday present today by taking me to have a manicure at lunchtime. I feel like a community renovation project! (But I have to say that I'm enjoying the results.)

Tomorrow morning, I will wrap presents, bake a bundt cake, take The Child to see Ocean's 12, drop by my aunt's home to say Merry Christmas and deliver a present, and then be at my parents' house by 4pm for a 5pm dinner. Mom was absolutely fine about my counter-proposal about the mini Christmas pageant, and while I'm still not looking forward to it at all, I feel better than I did.

And I've received positive feedback on some fiction that I shared recently, which is deeply gratifying.

It's late. I'm tired. I'm going to bed.
