(no subject)

I love some customers . . . had a guy in today who was talking on about how evil liberals are, and how Brokeback Mountain is an insult to westerns and cowboys and "real men" like John Wayne, and how war movies never really succeed because of the stupid hippies who want peace on earth. I was quite proud of myself, I refrained from saying anything. But I did wish that I was wearing a peace sign necklace and tie-dye shirt under my coat so I could fling the coat off and start singing Joy to the World. ;-)

After I got off work, we went grocery shopping for the Christmas dinner . . . considering that and the purchase of the computer, I don't even want to think about next month's credit card bill.

But on the good side of things, I think we've got everything ready for Christmas. Chris is going to make ham and a pasta dish and an apple pie, and I'm making a cheesecake and almond-bark pretzels and truffles and some molded candies (both for the party and for my coworkers and neighbors). What are you guys doing for the holidays?
