    Petulant, I'd just like to say I'm enjoying this war as much (maybe more, given the new wound) as you are. :-p

    Thanks for the Lowe's tip! I tested our outside lights yesterday and all but one of the strands went to Crap City between this year and last. Whenever Miss E & John gets back from her Nutcracker rehearsal, I shall go up (before later taking Miss E to her gingerbread house social, LOL). Hopefully it won't be scavenged.

    I hung a berry garland around my dining room chandelier that looks so pretty that I might just leave it there all year! LOL

    My brother and I bought my Mom so many nutcrackers she asked us to stop.

    I bought a berry wreath to hang above a mantle that I might leave up all year too!

    I'm trying to resist the urge to plunder certain craft stores with sales and attempt to create a wreath. i don't like any that i see.

    I must say, I'm REALLY enjoying these posts.

    Thanks for the Lowe's tip! I've been trying to justify buying a few more strands of lights.

    That tree is THE GORGEOUS!!!!

    I don't know why, but the line "Nutcrackers defend the holy chocolate. This is not finished. I am thinking greenery." really cracked me up.

    I don't know if it's the lack of contraction or the dramatic voice I imagine in being said in, but, Petulant, I want to bear your writing style's children. This must be somehow made possible.
  • Petulant · 1 year ago
    I think a thank you Falyne? If only I could master my Southern accent in writing as much as it entertains our Blog Mistress. I am told she does an incredible impersonation.

    Since I am "live-blogging" this endless WAR, I write the way I speak. Grammar be damned! Hell, I do that anyway.

    I am unable to give an opinion until I know which Buffy episodes were watched. This is important, people!

    (The tree is gorgeous, btw.)

    They were the first three episodes of season two.

    Those cats look evil with their glowey eyes.

    Ahhh, excellent choices. Angsty Buffy + Spike's first appearance = goodness.

    (Of course, I'd say just about any eps would be excellent choices. Heh.)

    Thank god my cat can't read. We'd never hear the end of it. Shrimp? Are you mad, sir? I can't imagine the racket - my cat makes a fuss over Greenies for Cats. She would have a kitty orgasm over shrimp....and then vomit on the living room carpet.
  • Petulant · 1 year ago
    Are you mad, sir?

    Yes, I believe I am. Isn't it delightful?

    I just want to say I love these updates so fucking much. Please keep them coming.

    I am so inspired by all the fabulousness I might even start a blog. It can be about an atheist who discovers the true meaning of Xmas is glitter.

    PS- Mr Mouse & I are currently on our 3rd Buffy run as well. We're starting Season 5. Which means more Anya (yay!) but also Dawn (nuh).

    That sounds like me. LOL!

    Once I run some errands this morning, I will begin the WAR.

    Hey, what kind of medal do you get for being wounded in the War in Defence of Christmas?

    As long as it is glittered it doesn't matter. :)
