joy

joy is when your son's eyes widen in astonishment that a barbie head can (and now should) be so casually taken off of its body

Reciept checker at Sam's Club (to Maura): Are you all ready for Santa?

Maura (straight faced): Santa isn't real.

Extremely stunned employee: silence. Well you'll have a fun time anyway. Did you already hang up your stockings?

Maura: No, we don't have a fireplace.

Very uncomfortable employee wishing we would leave already: Ok, well have a merry Christmas.

missing

We are missing a couple of movies and cannot remember to whom they were lent. On the very slim chance that one of you may have them, I am telling you about them here. The Legend of Sleepy Hollow (the one with Depp)and The Boondock Saints. The Saints one is a personal favorite... we ll they both are, and I miss them very much. Not nearly as much as if, say, I were missing my Back to the Future movies, but a whole lot!
