I've got happy feet!

Inaya with horns

One more GuildWars picture, because I spent half my day collecting these: the hats for the end of the Wintersday celebrations. I particularly like the reindeer horns. There was also a jester hat, your normal santa hat, and a "Freezie Crown" - which was a whole snowman head, complete with top hat. (I got up at 8:00 this morning to get that one, and I can't say I was thrilled with it. I should've bothered to research hats first!)

The other things we did was go see "Happy Feet" - which was cute. It had sort of a ham-handed environmental message, but it wouldn't be so obvious to kids, who are after all its intended audience. I expected something more... cartoonish, I guess. The penguins were very realistic, for the most part. You know, except for the dancing.

Turns out we don't have to go to work tomorrow - national day of mourning and all that. I don't remember getting that when Reagan died, but maybe we did and I've just forgotten. My boss said we could go in or not, but when I talked to her again she said nobody else was coming to speak of, so I said I might just go in for a while and read my e-mail and stuff. I live closer to work that most of my co-workers do. (And if I work, I get to take that much time off later!)

I made black-eyed peas after we got home, so we damn well better have good luck this year. I think we deserve it.

saw you friended me - I'm flattered - what interested you about me? I'm a horribly curious person (wink). I've been reading some of your posts during Holidailies, and made my hubby look over my shoulder at your GW images. He's a big player too (not my thing), and he got all the hats as well. He was disappointed with the Snowman hat - I think it looks very odd. Anyhoo - feel free to comment on mine; it's nice seeing new people once in a while :)

ummm... I did that a couple of weeks ago so I don't really remember if there was a specific entry that interested me or anything - I know I figured out that you were an Austin person and a friend of Jette's (I feel like that should be capitalized, like Friend of Bill). I tend to lose track of the blogs I find on Holidailies so I think I just wanted to remember you, you know?

cool enough - yes, Jette is a friend of ours; my hubby and her were housemates in a long ago past. :) I'll add you in so you can see my normal blogging - you might get bored otherwise (lol)!
