We bought Junior the 2005 Lego Advent Calendar this year. It’s our first year with this type – we’d done playmobile in the past, and some of the plain “oh, look, a drawing of a mitten” kind.

This is the least Christmassy Advent Calendar in the history of Advent Calendars. Now don’t get me wrong, the items he is pulling out are cool. But I don’t know, call me a purist, but does a little Lego burglar seem appropriate? We’ve gotten firemen, policemen, little fires, hoses, axes, equipment, and a burglar. I’m used to Santa’s workshop stuff, but I guess they’ve done those in the past. At least these will be usable all year round. They just seem iffy as part of an Advent Calendar. Is it me?

I am officially in a foul mood. Why, you ask? Well, not for any valid reason. My home and family are fine. The doginator only pooped in the house once this week and someone else cleaned it up. No, I’m upset because according to a story in the Sentinel today, Smokey Bones isn’t coming to Leominster. TGI Fridays is instead.

I’m very very very very sad right now. Why are we being deprived!? Don’t you think the people of Leominster deserve some good pulled pork and those little donuts you sell for dessert?

Bastiges.

I really really want one of these recycled book journals. If only I could decide which one!

Man, I had to turn off commenting today. I was getting HAMMERED by spammers. I think I got 10 spam comments in a row in a 5 minute span, and I didn’t see an end in sight so I just shut off comments. I have shut off comments in prior months, I may leave them open in November and October. We’ll see.

Why do I feel like this month is going by WAY too fast? I have so many things on my to do list that I need a to do list for updating the to do list. Unfortunately some of them have to be done NOW if I want them for Christmas. Better get going, huh? Maybe if I fuel myself with some chicken lo mein and miniature Charleston Chews…
