Have I ever told you about The Elf Game?

November 27, 2007

The Elf Game was invented on Christmas Eve in Temecula, California, sometime back in the 1990s, based upon a random Christmas Eve occurrence from my childhood. I had flown in from Long Island that year to spend Christmas with my friend Penny and her family. She’s got two girls, and I think they were about 6 and 8 years old at the time. Penny decorates her home like a mad woman. Every surface is...

Sorry about the screen marks

November 22, 2007

Took this pic to send to the folks back on the Loverly Isle of Long. One of my brothers called, and I could hear my cousin Mike in the background yelling foul things because they made me admit that it was 77 degrees here today… I guess it’s not so warm up there! Then I was talking to SIL and she said, “Holy crap, it’s freakin’ POURING!”. Yeah, I remember it well – November...

When You Wish Upon A Star

November 21, 2007

*1L seems to think I should blog this. I saw a shooting star tonight! Long-time readers may recall the last time I saw a shooting star. It was Sunday November 2nd, 2003 (scroll down a lot). I had just returned to my room at Disney’s Boardwalk Villas from having dinner at Boma with Chez Bro and da fambly. I entered my darkened room and immediately made a beeline for the terrace door. As soon...

The innards of a car clicker

November 18, 2007

I put a dime down for scale, because I was very surprised at the battery. I have never seen a squatty little battery like that before. It says it is 12v I’m going to leave it like this to dry for a couple of days and see if it works again. In the meantime, I did find the spare clicker.

I hate texting

November 18, 2007

I hate texting, mostly because I cannot do it fast enough on this phone. If I had a Blackberry, I could probably touch text, but I don’t have a Blackberry. So I got this idea from Robin-Delswife, and it works really well for me! Sent the above to No. 1 Niece, to make her laugh and feel better about our chances of still seeing Little Mermaid over Christmas.

Why I Am Drying The Contents Of My Wallet Instead Of Drying Shells

November 18, 2007

Freakin’ water bottle sprung a leak in my little beach backpack! The clicker for the car doesn’t work now – the little red LED light is on constantly, and I have to use the key, which sets off the freakin’ alarm. There’s a screw on the back of the clicker; I think I shall take it apart and let it dry out and see if it works again. Thank gawdness, my No. 1 Niece...

Photo I sent to No. 1 Niece

November 18, 2007

She called to tell me that she was afraid that the Broadway strike would interfere with us seeing The Little Mermaid over Christmas. Frankly, I hadn’t thought of that; I just assumed they would resolve it by then. But I guess it is a real possibility that we won’t be able to go. She says the website for Disney on Broadway says people can get a refund. Of course, I would reschedule if it...
