I was reading your post Poddy and I said "Oy!" right before you wrote 'oy'! LOL! Sometimes when it rains it pours on people - glad she's carrying on and in the holiday spirit too - makes us old cranks feel ashamed.

I can't imagine losing that much in such a short time.

People's houses always seem to burn down this time of year - with the candles and the shorting out Christmas lights/overloaded electric outlets or maybe using iffy space heaters because of the cold - sigh. Horrible any time of year, but you feel so bad for people when their house burns down, all their Christmas gifts and everything - gone. I guess that's why I think fire is so scary.

LOL, then again, as Mr ML would say, I have a whole lot of 'worst fears' about things! I admit it, I am a nervous mother (but not nearly as nervous as my own mother was, may she rest in peace).

VB glad you are liking 'Brothers & Sisters'. I like Sally Field but I haven't watched that one - but I know it gets good reviews. You have a close family and it's probably good to see nice family stuff. It's so nice to find a show to like again, isn't it? (it's been a long time since Roswell). That's how I felt about 'Moonlight' (and 'Blood ties') - excited to find a show I really liked a lot.

I watched the last 'Journeyman' last night and it was very nice - also nice family stuff in that show/struggles between husband and wife, guy and his brother, wife and her (formidable) sister, guy and his boss - nice show (on top of him being a time traveler). LOL, leave it to me to decide I like a show on Monday night and find out Tuesday it's been cancelled!

I joke about my liking stuff being the kiss of death, but sometimes I feel like it's true.

It's snowing (again!?) and it rained again yesterday. sigh. It's already a bad winter and it's barely begun. I want to move someplace without winter - right now!

Although with global warming, I suppose if I wait long enough, we won't have winter here anymore.

Scottie the 'pack rat' sounds so cool (and that he moved into your pack and made a little kleenex nest! Aww) but finding a critter leaping out of my bag would definitely scare me to death too. It's true, mice breed like rabbits, er, mice. When I was a kid I had a mouse (one, so they didn't have kids) and my mother made me keep it in the garage. My best friend had pet mice his mother let him keep in the basement and they got loose and were fruitful an multiplied and their basement was overrun with little mousies! LOL, maybe his mom let the mice breed so they could have babies and he could learn about the 'birds and the bees.' Baby mice are awfully cute, all naked and pink (although the father mice try to eat them, which isn't very cute at all). Then again, baby anythings are very very cute! Puppies... grandchildren.

Holiday singing (Christmas caroling) at work today in the main corridor. I wore my red velvety blouse and I'm ready (with bells on - literally). Only reason I didn't take today off (my boss just went on vacation for a week) was to sing.

P.S. My friend the secretary at work just gave me a package of made-in-USA, hand-dipped Hanukah candles to put away for next year!

So I'm ready! LOL!

P.P.S. (next day) We got MORE SNOW!

It's definitely looking like a Christmas card around here but what a nuisance.
