I slept in until 6:30 this morning! Crazy times, people! What the holidays do to me, I tell you. It's positively degenerate around here. I am even having whiskey in my coffee, which is a violation of one of my objectives for the next two months (no hard liquor) but I have no regrets. Also, I'll be punching later today, and I should probably be sober for that, thus I need to get my first drunk of the day out of the way early, and I just can't bring myself to open a bottle of wine before noon. Champagne, yes, but it's too chilly in here for mimosas.

Yesterday I made a pretty gorgeous if-I-say-so-myself art card. It's my favorite of the ones I've made so far because I wasn't limited in the decorations of either side since it's not actually being posted--it's going to be shipped in a box with some other stuff. That also meant that I could embellish it in different ways--like affixing a door to the front. A door that opens. That bit was inspired by

siro_gravity's comment about a card opening (which wasn't designed to open) and I thought "but I could totally make a card that did open, if it didn't have to go through the mail." And so I did. And it really is beautiful. I would take a photo of it, but I have this thing about feeling like once I make these cards, they're no longer mine and I need to let them go, completely. Very Zen, no? You might also say Ephemeral. *ahem*

Boy, you'd never know I was drinking spiked coffee, would you?

We have a friend coming over at noon, and the living room is absolutely wrecked. I hope

mckitterick wakes up before I'm too drunk or it's too late to tidy up before the guest arrives. Mostly it's just wrapping paper and the few presents we got from family. But still. A mess. Perhaps I can try quietly folding up the paper. Although the last time I tried to do anything quietly this morning, I tripped over my netbook's powercord and nearly brought it (and the chair in which I was sitting) to the floor. So. Er. Hm.

Luckily for the clean-up, my unwrapping this year was minimal due to the early gifting of the motherfucking Frye boots of great beauty. Which I haven't worn nearly as much as I'd like due to the fact that I've been negligent in water-proofing them. Shameful. If the weather holds today, I'll put that on the to-do list. I don't think today's particular guest will complain about watching me put the rub down on a pair of knee-high boots.

Oh lookee-there! It's time for a refill on the coffee.

This time, I'll get up out of the chair on the other side. *nod*nod*

Holy shit, woman, you have me thinking I need to have a nice glass of scotch! RIGHT NOW.

I've already hit my sober nadir and am ramping up for my second wind.

Join me in spirit(s), gurl!

I hope mckitterick wakes up before I'm too drunk

Me, I always hope the Sparrowhawk wakes up while I'm still just drunk enough. ; ) On Christmas Eve day, we took some of our kids out to find a place that was still open and had lunch suitable for vegetarians. And oh, guess what, the place we found also served hot toddies. For at least part of the day, my pre-holiday anxieties vanished and I was full of good cheer.

But the real point of this comment is to say I received the most beautiful card in the mail! Oo, lovely blue and images . . . even nicer than last year, if such a thing is possible. It's on my shelf right now between the aspen leaf my sister drew for me, and my mini-Stargate poster. The other one sits between feathers from a crow and a hawk, a ceramic fox mask, and a print of Leonardo's "Virgin and Child with St. Anne and St. John the Baptist." (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Virgin_and_Child_with_St_Anne_and_St_John_the_Baptist) So, when you say you make gorgeous art cards, it's not just you saying so yourself. Thank you!! And happy punching! ; )

So happy you liked it! XOXO

Done, girl. It's ON.

I just have to pace myself and sober up in time to go feed

kuizen's kitties here in an hour or three.

This post totally makes me laugh!!!

Wowee, what a great idea about the little door!! My card, though, is perfect exactly like it is.

I don't think you should start cleaning until

mckitterick wakes up...I mean the dude should definitely do his share of the clean up, don'tcha think? You could go on ahead and begin the clean up and NOT quietly fold, but loudly crumple and see if that gets him moving. :)

Have a great day!
Cheers, big ears!
(I used to have a Bristish friend who said that to me before each cocktail)

Yay for funny posts!

Things did eventually get tidied up a bit, and my pixie is coming over to do the Real Cleaning today. Hurray!

I and two other parties known to you conducted a Bacchanalian excess of consumption Friday into Saturday that included WINE WINE WINE and delivery sushi + monster movies/shark shows/30 Rock, grab-assing (that's hillbilly for play-sparring) and then passing out. No orgies or anything, but we did have LOTS of booze and cheerful, non-injurious, consensual violence, including drunken martial arts experiments.

WHY WAS I NOT INVITED?

*much weeping*

Yeah, I was thinking that, actually. We need to have a... gathering.

For. Real.

Also?

So. Drunk. Right. Now.

Then listen to the song I just emailed you. :)

I can't right now 'cos I've got company but later OH YES!

Woo!

*laughing*

thus I need to get my first drunk of the day out of the way early

And this is why we make great friends, you win Best Post of the Day!

\m/ >_< \m/

You were so fun on the phone, I was sorry I had to go!

Good to have several people agree that I'm a fun drunk. =D
