Thought or Rant of the day!!!

[Marian]

TOTD:
20cm of snow on our lawn. I can't remember ever seeing that much snow in these parts. It's truely a white Christmas this year.

63 degrees for us! I'm so glad it got chilly right before Christmas, been in the 80s the last couple of days and just didn't feel right.

quote is not edit

[phoenixannwn]

what?

Marian ran afoul of the same problem I did.. clicked the wrong icon, thought she was editing her last message, but had accidentally quoted instead (editing the quote) in a new message and posted it. So she subsequently wrote over it with that rant, reminding herself (and everyone else) that the quote button is not the edit button. A problem that would not be a problem if peons could delete their own messages (but since I've already ranted about that three times, I will not rant about it again, I say, self-contradictingly).

[phoenixannwn]

Oh. Okay.
lol, I got that she had quoted and edited her message but I was still confused as to what had happened, exactly. Thanks. :]

I miss snow. Curse you, Texas!

It is raining, though, so I guess that's something.

[Snickie]

The high here is supposed to be something around 75ºF tomorrow.
No chance of rain whatsoever.

Yes, this is odd. Even for Florida.
For the past several years, it has rained and stormed with incoming cold fronts on Christmas.
Never any snow, though.

Hooray for Floridian Christmas!

It's snowing like crazy here!

[phoenixannwn]

Just curious what are yall doin on the internet on Christmas Eve? You should be baking cookies! S'what I'm doin'. 'Course I'm multitaskin. :]]

[SumBum]

I'll be baking some bread later. Sorta have a craving for cookie dough, so I might have to throw together some of that too.

My family isn't doing Christmas until next weekend since my sister and brother both have to work tomorrow. I do have an invite to hang out with my bro-in-law and nephew tomorrow but the weather might prevent that. So, I could be one of those losers sitting at home alone on Christmas. Wouldn't really bother me except for being bored. I still get Christmas with family, just on a different day than most.

Edit: ...and I do say "loser" jokingly. As much as I love the holidays, it really is just another day. I'm not one of those who falls into a pit of depression if they don't have plans for their birthday etc.

[Comy]

I don't celebrate holidays.

[phoenixannwn]

lol I opted out of the family christmas since
A) They're very christian and southern and I'm wiccan and it always makes me uncomfortable having to lie
B) It's more christmas-y here than it is here--there's actually cookies on christmas eve, christmas music, joy, and nobody's drunk.
C) I don't really like my family.
Plus, it's my first christmas where I have any say in anything that goes on, and I'm not having to suffer through anything. It's kinda great. :]
I am sad that I missed the first christmas with my crazy-aunt out of town. But my grandpa (him I like) spoils me too much, so it's probably for the best.

Yay! I'm not the only one!

@Phoenix, we baked cookies earlier this week, and we've eaten more than half already. :p

[Piscator]

I cooked dinner and decorated the Christmas tree so I wasn't lazy on Christmas eve, oh no. I'm afraid I can't bake cookies though.

[phoenixannwn]

I baked cookies. SO MANY COOKIES!
Too many cookies. Ate the giant one and half of another and had to stop because I was getting nauseous.
THEY WERE SO PERFECT THOUGH! I mean, I hate dunking cookies in milk, and they were even good that way!
So relaxed and happy and stress free.
