I'm BAAACK......well, until I forget my password again...so prolly Thursday....LOL. Amazing that after two years of non-use, all it took to convince Gmail/Blogger that I am the rightful owner of this blog was taking a guess at what my favourite flavour of ice cream was when I created the account....talk about high-tech..like living in freakin' Star Trek. ;-)

So eggnog season is upon us once again, and I am, unabashedly, chintzing out this year.....basically, if I haven't called to ask what you want for Christmas, you're not getting squat.....and if I called you out of a sense of duty, you're getting leftover chocolates from last year....

No, I am not Grinchesque...I prefer to look at it as sufficiently money-savvy to realize that the $15 I would have spent on someone out of guilt or pressure would be far better spent on a nice Shiraz for me; this way, at least one of us is happy and I will be too far gone to care that it's not them!

Time to go...must go write out the $200-and-something cheque for the first, yes you read that right...first installment for Marcus' Quebec trip in February....he's 12! Good Grief....
