For the first time in about 15 years we have a real tree at our house. Tonight the family and I are decorating, National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation is playing, and the house is nice and toasty warm.

Very excellent. That means I don't have to look for a car right away and I save about 6 thousand dollars.

Well, if you guys are doing another meetup next year I can try to scrape a few pennies around.  ;D

I hit a deer last night, which sucks. However, I'm cheerful that I was able to complete repairs for the princely sum of $35. Well, it'll be $35 once I return the $17 worth of bulbs it turned out I didn't need to buy. :)

You gotta love a picn-n-pull junkyard. For about thirty seconds worth of work I saved about $40. If I had purchased new it would have cost over $200, just for the headlamp assembly. Plus another $17 for the bulbs!

If/when you come over again I'm banning digital communication for all but one hour a day!!! We can actually talk with each other!!

Oh like you didn't use your computer too. Besides, I was the designated googler.

Well I ought to be cheerful; thanks to no longer working, Christmas is all organised: cards sent; decorations up; food ordered; even spare beds made up, and I am cheerful really, but I think I actually enjoyed runing round like a demented chicken between working hours.
