I'm getting the annual uptick of Cavalcade of Bad Nativities viewers. Greetings! Enjoy the tackiness.
I have the glitter nativity in the kitchen kitsch display year-round, so that's out, but the rest of the Christmas decorations didn't come out. I could get the tree up, but the chances of me taking it down before Easter were pretty slim. And there's no such thing as a Spinning Aluminum Resurrection Bush. Is there?

I just found out that there is a tool to open evil clamshell packaging. I so need one of these.
When I was in the hospital and my laptop power supply ate itself, the new one I had fedexed to me came in the most evil clamshell ever. I didn't have anything appropriate to hack through it, so I took it to the nurses' station for help. It took two nurses and what I think was a bone saw to get that thing out of the packaging. So I consider the evolution of a tool to deal with this to be a gigantic leap forward for mankind.

We're getting ready for tonight's theatrical debut of pageanty goodness. Isaac has been doing his Squinty Pirate face all day, but we've been calling him Squinty Jesus in honor of his role.

All of the McDonald's around here have big banners in front that say, FEELING GIFTY? to promote the joy of giving McDonald's gift certificates.
Whatever. But the problem is, my brain keeps translating that to FEELING GUILTY? so I have this total flush of shame every time I drive by, and not just because my pregnancy-induced lust for the Big Mac has not entirely gone away with the return of more stable hormones.
On the list of things to feel guilty about, I'm still working on setting up a separate site for my parental blather; things got so dramatic so fast when I went into the hospital and then the whole NICU thing happened. I know I promised that a while back and I'm sorry it hasn't really come together. I didn't intend for the baby experience to take over this site. It just worked out to be the best way to get updates out through a rough time.
At any rate, I'm still Time Magazine's person of the year.
