My mood is much improved from my last post. The burst of post-holiday melancholy has dissipated.
Ok. Christmas. I got all kinds of loot, including (but not limited too): The aforementioned two Eeyores, a fleecy Eeyore pullover, a cool travel bag with wheels, Santa/mom and Santa/dad gave me money, Grandma gave me money, candles w/not too strong smell, postcard set, Eeyore snow globe, hot cocoa set w/mugs & plates, a loaf of potica (which I had to share with Hellbob), and probably other stuff that I am forgeting.

Just what a "big-boned" cat needs, growth formula food!) Way to go, Gabe!
Hellbob just took off to go be a geek with the boys. It is LAN party weekend. He will eat bad for him food, drink mass quantities of keg root beer, and play more games than anyone should.
Although he said he would go to my work holiday party, I know he would rather play games, so I found myself a date! Everyone at work is getting a big kick out of the fact that I will be bringing
The First Annual HellHouse Slumber Party (tm) is next weekend! Yay! Besides our resident basement dweller,
