I went out with "Hot Chocolate" today to do some photographing and forgot my camera card on my computer desk. Then I stabbed myself in the arm with a poppy pin. Ouch. It went in a good inch or so and left a lovely mark. Close enough to a flu shot for me. I had a coffee this morning to start my day and picked one up on the way home at lunch. I think I saw her put a double shot of espresso in it. I just grabbed it and left thinking of things to ponder for when I will be up at 3am tomorrow morning. Luckily it's a weekend coming and I can sleep in.
On our outing today we drove by Stephen's place and took some pictures just down the block. (The video is humourous once you get past the first minute and a half.) Well, at least one of us took pictures. I don't think he was home on a work day, but you'd never know it with the RCMP presence at 24 Sussex Drive. You couldn't swing a cat without hitting an officer in a bright yellow coat. Not too stealthy guys!
Speaking of 24 Sussex, it got me thinking of one of our previous Prime Ministers. The thing (only thing) I really miss about Jean Chretien is that when someone theatened or pissed him off he took them by the throat and pushed them away....literally. That was great! When an intruder broke into his home when he and his wife were sleeping his wife dealt with the situation, thus embarrasing the RCMP.
So on the way back down the rollercoaster, I'm not quite ready to quit again yet, but I'm sure it's only a matter of time.
BTW: If you aren't on my Christmas card list and think I'm a terrible person for not having ever sent you a card, you can drop me your address at the following email address and I'll add you.

Two years ago I hand drew and coloured about 40 cartoons cards. Some with personalized jokes. Last year I printed out about 60 then hand coloured them all. This year I'm not sure what I'll do, but I'm pretty sure it won't involve anything quite as thoughtful as all of that;-) Why the heck do I send out so many? Big family.
P.S on the BTW: Grandma C and Very Yucky, the above is specifically meant to get you two to send your addresses.

I've custom-made Xmas cards every year for years, but I recently realized that no one cares, so last year I only sent cards to those who sent me one. I got maybe 6?
Will do, email on the way
I was thinking I'd send a card out this year letting everyone know I'm not sending cards out this year.
OUCH on the poppy pin! It will no doubt be tender for a few days.
I have become very lax when it comes to Christmas cards over the years. My problem is that Christmas always creeps up way too fast for my liking and all my good intentions go right out the window when I run out of time to do anything like hand-painting cards. I did print out a few last year using some of my art and they turned out okay, I guess. I'll bet your cards are a real treat no matter what you decide to do this year.
