Have I mentioned in all these jokes I’ve made about plastic surgery that I have a huge nose? It’s like the major inheritance from my maternal side. That and cancer. And yet, not one member of my family has had rhinoplasty. Not one. And, you know, some of us, maybe we could have used it, if we had thought about it.

I must admit that even as I say my nose is huge, that it is really quite petite compared to some of my kinfolk. In fact………..my one uncle (really, a cousin, but you know how we are down here, everybody is an uncle) he had a child that we did not know about. And when she finally tracked us down, we read the letter, and were understandably shocked, and all that. And then she sent a picture. I looked at that thing, and looked at my cousin (really a cousin this time, somewhat removed, but cousin nonetheless–the same one who sends me some of the jokes I share) and I said “well, look at that nose, she’s obviously one of us”, and we both laughed! Poor thing, all she got from a dad she never knew was a schnoz the size of Manhattan. And lots of fun-nee cousins and uncles and aunts and such.

Today, I will continue my “light” workload. I want to clear off my dresser, dry the comforter, wash a load of towels, and deal with a couple of baskets of clothes that were washed over Christmas and left on the freezer. There’s so much more that needs doing, of course.

Grandmother is having a CT scan done today, but I don’t know when we’ll get the results back.

Guess I’ll get up and get started. The sooner I am done, the sooner I can sit and knit and play with the kids.

Since I now live with the boobs of doom that blaze and burn if I go about life in my usual manner, I’ll be scaling back my agendas. Today’s plan includes clearing the wicker basket in my room (already done) and 2-3 loads of laundry start to finish (1 load ready for the dryer now.) Other than that I plan to sit and knit, and hang out with the kids (one game of dominoes already). I need to do a bit of web-work as well, but will not be spending the whole day working on that.

“GEICO added “Teens and Trucks” to its online library of safe driving materials for teen drivers. The brochure, developed with the American Moving and Storage Association, includes valuable information for teens on how to safely share the highway with large trucks. The GEICO teen safe driving Web site is located at geico.com/auto/safety. While the information is helpful to drivers of all ages, GEICO is particularly interested in providing teens with this information when they first learn to drive.”

I guess the trick now is just getting them to slow down long enough to read it. This information is brought to you by CarInsurance.com, where you can shop for a great car insurance rate.

Same as the first!
A little bit louder, a little bit worse.

I have mastitis again/still. Other side this time. I don’t know whether to greet it as an old friend, or just lop off the offending boob and be done with it.

Good news: Now those brand new size 8 jeans are TOO BIG. Bad News: I’m really not trying to lose weight. Does anyone know exactly how long a person can live on stress and caffeine? With or without mastitis: I’ll extrapolate.

Here comes Santa Claus, here comes Santa Claus. And it’s me! Am I the only one who gets a rush out of doing this parental deed? It’s like……proof you are a grown-up when YOU get to be Santa, LOL!

As I sit here, waiting for the last two hold outs to pass out/go to bed, I am surfing the net and getting ready to pump. I found this site, full of games from yesteryear. It reminded me of my early teens, when I would go to the skating rink, and play Q-bert. It was a funny little arcade game, you just hopped the guy from one square to another and they changed colors. I really enjoyed that game, and haven’t played in probably 25 years. Funny the things you recall. Well, they don’t have old Q-bert at Arcade-Cow, but they are still a cure for boredom. And also sleepless nights.

I’ve had quite a few of those recently as various sick children have ended up in my bed, either leaving me no room at all, or pummeling me through the night. Ah, the simple pleasures of wee toes in your thighs or kidneys. Nor should we forget the elbows in the chest, and flying hands landing on your nose.

I have long ago given up the battle against the grey in my hair. Like, 10 years or more ago. Today, I found a white hair in. my. eyebrow. Merry Christmas! Ha!
