turpsFor the last few years I haven't changed my default, except at Christmas. Now it's time to change it again, because it's December and therefore time for santa hatted euro!braces and braids Chris to take centre stage for a month. I'm sure it was ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
_jules_ who hatted him last year, and here he is again, watching over me as the Christmas season starts :)
It was James' birthday yesterday. Corey and I decorated a cake for him, with lots of iced words and vague flower shapes as well as a load of silver and gold candles. It was impressive I must say. Also, as usual the birthday tradition is to decorate the house for Christmas, which we did. At least we got the majority of it up. Some of the outside lights need to be strung still and the ceiling streamers need to be hung. Our house is well on its way to looking like an explosion in a glitter and light factory which is cool, because that's just how we like it. I'll put the rest up sometime tonight, right now I'm going to have a hot drink and take some needed online time.
Corey's been off yesterday and today and I've just had to take him to the drs with me, which he wasn't impressed about at all, but there was no one to watch him so I had no choice. I've also finished the painting yesterday at last and I feel incredibly proud and accomplished. Professional decorators would probably be horrified at the finish but I don't care. Corey and I did it all ourselves and I think it looks great. But man, if I see another piece of sandpaper or paintbrush soon I think I'll scream.
I did go to the dentists and had my crown put back in. Shame it fell out again the next day but this time I managed to swallow it as I'm just that good. So I'll have to fit in another dentist visit soon.
Watching the recorded I'm a Celebrity this morning amused me so much when Antony from Blue started talking about boybands and said he liked later BSB songs then started to sing some of their stuff then Pop. It was like, Ant&Dec, sad reality show, Antony from Blue, BSB, Nsync! Can it get any better? Though bah for Ant&Dec saying only 13 year old girls like Backstreet.
I got my first Christmas card today and it was a gorgeous one too! Thank you so much Dine *mwah*
And there you go, some of what I've done the last few days. I'll spare you the details of late night shopping trips and the ahem tense moments putting on the tree lights, because right now the tree is sparkling, I have a finished room, it's cold and wet but I don't have to go outside and I have hours without anything needing to be done. Things look pretty good just now.
ETA: Anyone that watches House. Like a lot of people I have a file that cuts off at the end. Before I redownload can anyone tell me what happens at the very end of the latest ep so I know what I'm missing.

Date: 2005-12-02 01:51 pm (UTC)also, usually, if a crown falls out, it's because the fit itsn't right. at least, that's what mom tells me, and she should know. she makes them!
also, I'm not sure if it's allowed, but would you maybe be willing to beta my sesa story? ( when I get around to writing it, that is, and if you have time and all that. )
also, *snuggles*
no subject
Date: 2005-12-02 01:55 pm (UTC)I think your mom must be right, I can't see why crowns would fall out otherwise. It's not like I was chewing on toffee or something :(
Of course I'll beta for you, you don't even have to ask. I'll make time for you.
*smooches you* How are you doing, honey?
no subject
Date: 2005-12-02 02:06 pm (UTC)also, apparently, if the crown fits, you wouldn't really need anything to hold it in place.
*mwah* thank you so much.
mmm, I'm doing alright. I'm a little sad that my friends will be leaving me in less that three weeks, but you know. other than that I'm good. but I want some SNOW!

Date: 2005-12-02 04:03 pm (UTC)And speaking of Christmas cards - could you send me your address please (saba1789[at]lycos[dot]de) so I can send one your way?
no subject
Date: 2005-12-07 10:51 am (UTC)Did I send you my address yet? These old comments are making my head spin because I've answered some already, so if you get my addy twice blame LJ and not me being greedy *g*
no subject
Date: 2005-12-02 04:29 pm (UTC)And whoa, um, seems like a bit of a quality control issue, if the dentist can't make a crown stick longer than one day. Good luck!
no subject
Date: 2005-12-07 10:55 am (UTC)Yeah, I was kind of annoyed myself when it fell out after a day. Sadly as I'm not in actual pain I have to wait to get another appointment, which sucks.
no subject
Date: 2005-12-02 05:48 pm (UTC)Also, what is there with files that are cut at the end these days? Torrents aren't what they used to be *shakes head*
no subject
Date: 2005-12-07 10:58 am (UTC)Well, there are lots of popslash icons with hats that were in the pictures already because they're cheesy popboys and they have to dress up as Santa. I think it's in the boyband code or something *g* But mine was painted on and is not an actual photoshopped hat, maybe that makes the difference?
Torrents really aren't what they used to be. I mean, don't get me wrong, I love that people put them up, but I'd love to see the credits and previews one day, and as for missing actual end lines off. That's just wrong.

Date: 2005-12-03 10:23 am (UTC)Dentist visits aren't fun at all. What makes it worse is my dentist is so pretty, I mean normally looking into the eyes of a pretty man is of the good. When you're lying there with your mouth open and pointy instruments coming at you it's not at all.

Date: 2005-12-02 09:02 pm (UTC)I want to send you a Christmas card! You were one of my first LJ friends and you're always so kind and funny. Can you please mail your adress to me at hejhej11 at bredband dot net (or leave a screened comment here (http://www.livejournal.com/users/turloughishere/73977.html)).

Date: 2005-12-03 10:10 am (UTC)Your advent lights sound so beautiful. I really do love my house with all the sparkle, but there's something special about lights like yours, stuff that has history and meaning.
Eeep. I thought I'd answered your poll! Sorry! I'll do that for sure, receiving cards is a wonderful thing. I'm going to try to finish mine later and get them sent on Monday. Hopefully my hand will hold out, it's not used to writing for a long time now *g*
Awesome icon too!
no subject
Date: 2005-12-03 01:25 pm (UTC)Me neither! I'm planning to do it in at least two sessions otherwise I know I'll get a cramp.
Awesome icon too!
Thank you! He looks like such an intellectual Santa in this picture :-)

You guys have the most adorable family ever! I love the thought of you and Corey decorating James' cake together. Awwww, I bet everyone who passes your house can feel all the warm fuzzies! ;)
no subject
Date: 2005-12-03 10:21 am (UTC)We had fun cake decorating, who knew you could do so many things with icing?
There are a lot of warm fuzzies in our family, which is good. It makes up for all the petty arguments we have too *g*
