I want this reindeer...

This reindeer resides at the Hearthstone (the place my dad lives)...  they have some of the most amazing holiday decorations there and I like them.  Not always amazing in a good way but always entertaining.

So, today starts the busy weekend... I don't think I've had this much going on in a long time... it runs the gamut of teaching, birthday lunches, belated birthday dinners, open houses, etc...  I would really just like to skip all of them but I can't.

A week from today is d-day...  a year without presents (okay, I've bought myself a few things)... another year feeling less than satisfied... oh well - I'm used to it by now...

Okay, times a wasting - I have to go get ready... I don't want to go.
