Its actually much more interesting than it sounds:

Desperately Seeking a Kidney

Canada-US differences are also a theme, too.

What I’m Watching Lately....

The Tudors: Wow, am I old enough to watch this show?

The Big Bang Theory: A very funny show... It helps that airs immediately after How I Met Your Mother, though.

Futurama re-runs: Wow, I’ve missed that show.

Myth Busters: Even though the episodes are pretty similar to each other...

House: Even though every single episode has exactly the same plot...

A Charlie Brown Christmas: Every year it juts gets better and better.

First Winter Storm of Year, First Storm Day EVER

Believe it or not, yesterday's storm was the first official "storm day" of my 11 year-old career. We moved from the health contract to the civil service contract over the last year. We lost benefits on many points, but we gained storm days. Basically, this means that I can now stay home when the government offices are closed, instead of trying to get to work or taking over-time or vacation hours to make up the time.

Yay,

B.

Its Beginning to Look a Lot Like...

December already... Things are humming along in our house with Christmas preparations and the like. Both girls are behaving very well and I expect that this has been noted by Santa Central and that it will be taken into account.

Its hard to believe, but Super Girl will turn four this Wednesday (Dec. 5th). She is more than excited. Wednesday night we're having cake with both sets of grandparents and on Sunday (Dec. 9th) she has a party at McDonald's (her choice).

On Thursday (Dec. 6th) Action Girl (age 6.75) has her school Christmas concert, which is entirely a Grade One production. She has a welcoming speech (a few lines) that opens the concert. She is pleased!

Next week, Super Girl's daycare has their concert and she is Mary (yes, the Mary). She was so excited the day the parts were assigned that she made a "Mary" name tag for herself (she had to ask how to spell it and wore it taped to her shirt for the rest of the day.

Christmas through their eyes is enough... well its enough to make me want to be a whole lot less cynical about things.
