* I have received a list from SIL for S and E, and was pretty excited that I a) knew what game system they had and b) had good guesses on what to get them. A few clicks later and now a $15 Target card is all that is left to END our holiday shopping. Oh except I need to go to Walgreen's and see if I can find open X cheaper than listed on the website. I think husband would enjoy that in his stocking!

* The Christmas letter is still not done (nor started that I can tell). I am seriously biting my lip to not nag. I did hint today with more than my usual subtlety (I said--hmm so what do we still need to do besides shopping?).

* I am insanely mad at the preschool. I spent the entire drive out to work (15 minutes) stewing and trying to decide what to do. Evidently I was so worked up I was flushed and was told I looked like I had hiked here through the snow. Here's the deal, Wednesday the ladies told me that the little boy who had been diagnosed with the MUMPS last week was having lunch with them in the extended day part of their preschool. He's not in their class, he's not in the extended day. And according to County health officials that spoke to my friend, Dr. Mom (who is the health person at preschool which is rather funny since despite my calling her Dr. Mom she isn't *that* kind of Dr), he doesn't really have the mumps, since it "responded" to antibiotics. Still there is a policy on the books about bringing children who are not enrolled in the class to the class.
I did determine that the young man in question *was* there. I asked the teacher via e-mail, because while I trust Amy and Emily, they do sometimes blow things out of proportion--wonder where they get that *wink*. So, now I'm really mad. I e-mailed Dr. Mom to help me see if I am losing perspective, and I'll probably see what husband thinks, but right this second, I'm ready to draft a scathing note to the kid's mom--because ironically, she's president of the preschool board. OOH am I ever mad.

* I'm also feeling a little, I'm not sure how to explain it. See lately, though ravelry mostly, I'm finding people I know in real life and finding that they have blogs! Is it paranoia? Because I find myself reading just to see if they say bad stuff about me (even when the writing is bad). Is it jealousy? Because I felt a small twinge that one of them has a knitting group. Is it sadness? Because I know that they probably won't find me here. I am also feeling a little smug, because man--I've been here going on eight years!

* I've been reading the ratings on rate my professor for some of my college profs (from back in the day) and all I can say is, wow what a bunch of whiners college students are. Well the ones calling my husband goat boy and the ones saying the best prof I ever had in college is boring. Oh whine whine, I had to *work*.

* I should stop now, I should work now. I should...... yeah go knit something.
