Merry Christmas all! Had my Christmas beans & weanies, now gearing up for work. You know itā€™s the holiday when a photog is the lead reporter at [5, 6](http://youtu.be/K2IlYNtbY38) [& 11](http://youtu.be/HEI74TigaPE) for the sudden snowstorm. At least I managed to sneak in nats of a visit to Taco Bell in the 11pm story. Just call me ā€œCombo #3ā€ ---

Trimming the roast beast and just put a big freaking divot in my finger. Blood everywhere - thank goodness I hit an artery so itā€™s all bright red and Christmasy! Itā€™s right under my finger nail. Iā€™m glad I chose the silver nail polish. The red I was going to use would have clashed. ---

Hope you had a festive band-aid to put on it! \*\*Midget \*\*- that was way cool! \*\*tugig \*\*- so will your reports go into your audition tape for being a big-shot anchor man?? šŸ˜‰ My mom lives in Harford county, not too far from BelAir, and she said she had about an inch of snow in her yard this morning. Iā€™m guessing the roads there were just wet. Netflix is back - yay! Iā€™ve decided to celebrate by starting another afghan. At Thanksgiving, my mom gave me $50 to buy yarn for more girly afghans, so Iā€™m doing a multi-blue stripe. Iā€™ve also got some pink and rose for another when this one is done. If Iā€™ve got to sit around being sick, I might as well accomplish something. I have to say, Iā€™m terribly disappointed by the total lack of chocolate love offerings on my front porch. Not pointing any fingers, just pouting. šŸ˜› ---

LOL! Speaking of poutingā€¦ Yesterday I had to run to the grocery store. Now, normally when I come home from the grocery store, I have treats for the dogs. They lie on the floor sort of surrounding the grocery sacks and justā€¦wait. However, yesterday I did not have treats. They already have a mondo box of Milk Bones, had received bones from the butcher, and still have doggy ice cream. When it became apparent no OMG TREEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAATS were coming out of the bag, Polar my Siberian Husky, literally flung himself on the floor, snorted and huffed, and then proceeded to pout for a good 30 minutes. Sheesh! ---

So a Jewish guy and a Chinese guy are sitting in the park playing checkers. The Chinese guy tells his friend that Chinese history is very old, a couple thousand years. Jewish guy says, ā€œWell, I donā€™t want to brag, but Jewish history is about twice that.ā€ ā€œOh yeah? What did you guys eat?ā€ ---

Supposed to have 4"-6" of snow tonight. I had the A/C on in the car yesterday. I drove out to the trailer in the woods to turn off and drain the water. Bushes were icing up, and we can see limbs falling on power line here in North Little Rock (Argenta) and hear a\* thrum\* when the current discharges. Cool, unless the power goes off. The new incarnation of Doctor Who looks to kid like. Iā€™ve not seen this one until now.
