Sans Christmas card...

All right, I'll forgive you for not sending me a Christmas card (you know who you are) if you forgive me first :-) Well, the universe conspired against me this Christmas card season. Let me explain.

Remember how I told you that when I give my new home address out to people now I feel like I'm giving some Extra Terrestrial the longitude and latitude to come over and have Darjeeling tea with me? Well, to give you an idea, if you type in my entire address in a GPS it will not find it. If you omit the first part, it does. Apparently they changed the format of street addresses around here not too long ago and every now and then, delivery people have issues. Nothing major so far - they always call and eventually I get my stuff, but the prints I ordered for our Christmas cards didn't fare so well. Half of it arrived and half Lord only knows where it could be. They are reprinting them so I may still send them later, but unless you're family or someone who could die one day and live me an inheritance (ha, as if I know those people!) you did not make it on my first attempt.

I take comfort in thinking that perhaps you're keeping up with my blog and know what we're up to this Christmas season. DH & I had a wonderful time (champagne included) during our annual Wrapping Party which this year was relocated to a wonderful basement that has yet again proven to be very very handy (if you've read previous posts you know what I'm talking about :-)

We went to bed at 2:30 am only to be awoken by baby girl an hour later telling us she couldn't fall asleep. Well, let me tell you that a queen size bed is not big enough for two adults, a cat and a child! They were gracious enough to let me sleep till 7:30 am, when, with my trusty cappuccino in hand, the unwrapping ceremonies began. I'm sure you had a similar ceremony going on at your house, especially if you have little ones around. This year, even our cat got a gift: one of those drive your cat crazy circles where you can drop cat nip in the middle for them to scratch! Oh, joy!

A big hug to all of you this holiday season!

Cats love red laser pointer lights, too if you aren't sure what to get your dear cat next year. I hope you got the card from us? If not, maybe it will arrive sometime. I sent it to the address you gave me.
