Christmas Shots

Daughter #2 took this picture of our Christmas tree and its reflection in the window. Since I will spend today making cookies and fudge, I thought it would be appropriate to show an image that depicts the spirit of the day.

This is Tiger sitting beneath the tree.

Ahh … Tigger is so CUTE!

You really are getting into the spirit now, aren't you, Robyn.
have a lovely day trying not to eat cookie dough and fudge … Mmmmmm.

That particular corner of your tree looks beautiful. I dare say the rest follows suit.

I'm glad you haven't made this a photo scavenge subject as I don't decorate (and no longer have a cat). Instead, I have posted some porn for the boys.

I'll see if I can get a full-tree shot this evening when the lights are all twinkly. I have to confess to have an artificual tree, which was a difficult decision to make a few years ago. But I couldn't find a live tree big enough for the room. I need one that is about nine feet high, and to chop down a real one that size just doesn't seem right, and they're hard to come by.

You kitty is so cute, Robyn. And your tree is lovely. Have fun making goodies, and don't forget to eat some. You can feel better later!

Drat this time difference (again).
I'm now off to bed with a sexy book (Alexis de Tocqueville's "Democracy In America" in a slinky leather binding), so I'll miss the promised full frontal shot of your lovely tree.

I'll look forward to gazing at it while I have my breakfast tomorrow, so please don't forget to post it.

Long Live Anita Bowser

You know I occasionally check my hometown newspaper's website to scan the obituaries (morbid, I know, but I'm at that age). Over this past weekend, I read the obituary of Indiana State Senator Anita Bowser . She was a noted Democrat who championed causes protecting the neediest in the state's population. She was respected on both sides of the aisle for her intelligence and plain and outspoken approach to law making. The picture on her senate page is lovely. I remember none of those things about Anita Bowser . My first year or so in college was spent at a branch of Purdue University, and in the early 80s, Anita was a political science professor. She taught my American Government class my freshman year, and she was a mess. Somewhere in my old text book, I have a sketch of her drawn on a particularly dull day in class--her hose sagged at her ankles, her slip showed at least half an inch all the way around, her hair had been slept on but not brushed, and her bright red lip stic...

Happy Birthday...

to me! Update: Since you have asked, I only got one actual packaged gift, a beautiful hand-made bracelet from a friend, but both girls were home for the weekend, and we had dinner at the lake and a relaxing weekend. Thanks to all of you for your lovely wishes!

My Sitemeter is All Bloated and Not Quite Itself

I'm tempted to let it sit on the couch with its feet curled up under a blanket, a hot cup of coffee in hand, a block of cherry almond bark Chocolove within reach, and An Affair to Remember spinning in the DVD player. I'm one of those obsessive bloggers, the kind who checks her sitemeter as often as possible throughout the day, the kind who gauges the quality of her writing by the number of readers who regularly stop by. I've become less interested in the overall number of hits and more interested in the number of repeat hits. The return visitors are the ones I long for. When my sitemeter reads forty at the end of the day, and the majority of those hits are webpals who have conversed, I'm happy. Forty may seem low to many of you, but I've only been at this since August. To me, forty is a jackpot. A few days ago, I sat down at my laptop and discovered a number somewhere in the eighties. Eighties! Yippee! Yeeha ! Hoo-rah ! I've been discovered by the webworld , o...
