Aaaaaeyyyyyyiiiiieeee! Oh, wait, did I say that out loud?

6 days until Christmas, folks, as Junior will likely point out when he wakes up. Two days ago he asked if he could open up my present(s) to him. “Uh, no.” Can’t fault the kid for trying.

I think what I will miss most in 7 days is the radio station going back to their regular playlist. I hate their regular playlist. But do they listen to me? No. Someday, when I rule the world, they’ll listen. They’ll all listen!

Dear Everyone Who Has Things For Me to Do, (and that includes ME):

I am but one person.

Thank you,

Jody

Okay, here are the story and the picture. Which do you want first? Okay, first the story.

A STORY BY JUNIOR

The people bought hot chocolate before the wind grew stronger. The snow hadn’t seen the town so busy before, so it stopped! Then the sun came out. The people were happy! And then it was a very nice day.

And here’s the picture, sent by loyal Dump reader Linda P. This is her kitty, and apparently it has staked out this location for naps. I’ll let you guys provide captions.

I seem to have falling into the “oh no, there are 40 deadlines!” period of the year, and not much of my time is left over to write pithy Dump entries. You deserve better. But I’m all you’re going to get.

Someone remind me to post Junior’s Christmas story here after I get home. He wrote it just for me, but it’s shockingly well-written for an almost 6 year old, and I want to show off.

Also, I have a photo taken by someone I know that I *have* to share with you. It will be the next thing that floats around the web. That too will be put up tonight.

This is the first post from the new Sidekick! You can’t even tell, can you?
