Music Stuck in the Naughts : Of course, these are the songs that were earworms, so they aren't exactly golden standards. But they have stuck with me throughout the decade and it seems that overall I have been pretty... upbeat. (posted Dec 29, 12:25pm)

Christmas Day Noms : After we opened presents this morning, we spent the whole day taking our time and cooking. We grazed during the early afternoon and had a great sit down dinner. (posted Dec 25, 7:31pm)

...but can you spot the misfits? : This was before the wide-spread use of the Internet. AOL wasn't even popular yet. So we used FidoNet to send mail to each other and it was very high tech at the time. And the mail was just text - no attachments. (posted Dec 23, 10:22am)

From the Kitchen : That recipe book is awesome. She sent to me when I asked for the cookie recipe, and it is a compliation from her church. There are many disturbing ways to cook a squirrel in that cookbook. No lie. (posted Dec 22, 9:02pm)

At the Ballet : Growing up, I saw The Nutcracker a million times, mostly because of Brian. Brian was my best friend in school and is probably the person I am most proud of from our hometown. He started ballet late, by dance standards, when we were in high school. But he didn't let that stop him. And he was always my favorite Nutcracker. (posted Dec 21, 8:30pm)

Emmet Otter : Kelly and I loved the special when we were kids. It was on HBO and like many other things we recorded it and watched it 26,193 times. And then it just disappeared when we grew up. (posted Dec 19, 6:06pm)

Ornamental Memories, Pt. 2 : My favorite has always been the Jester. I know she made them for us but I don't remember if a particular one was assigned to anyone. I just liked the orange and the sequins. (posted Dec 18, 12:11pm)

The Help : After I finished the book I called my parents to ask them about it, since this was the time they were young adults. My mom was in her early 20s and my dad was still in high school. (posted Dec 16, 10:12pm)

Gamer Girl : We started with a Commodore 64 and worked our way up ever since. I have never seen gaming as anti-social. Kelly and I would stay up all night and giggle together, yell together, and high five together. (posted Dec 14, 8:40pm)

Ornamental Memories, Pt. 1 : I've ended up with the majority of the family ornaments. Our tree is mostly my family ornaments with some special ones Aaron and I have collected over the years. ("Special" also means "Bought on Sale.") (posted Dec 10, 10:54pm)

Holiday Meme : Participating in Holidailies is as hard as I expected. I don't have time to write their awesome prompt for today (which I may do tomorrow) so before I head to my Commission meeting, here's a holiday meme to pass our time. (posted Dec 9, 5:46pm)

Feast for Two : That Christmas I was really sick with a cold and Aaron had iritis, so we were quarantined to the house. We loved it. We played Assassin's Creed the entire break and I made countless attempts on the pilaf and finally got it right. (posted Dec 8, 7:43pm)

Christmas (Song) List : I have a love/hate relationship with Christmas. But try as I might, love wins out, and I have to listen to holiday music. Every year I put together my Christmas playlist with lots of repeats from year to year, and some new gems hunted down. I try to group them together by style but really, it's all holiday music - ...
