I think the answer’s obvious. See, the Ring got returned to the fire, and now Sauron is on the lam… ---

No, no… they’re still watching _Buffy_… with the jewel-encrusted thingamabob at the ready. ---

Sorry! We normally don’t log on over the weekends. Here is the breakdown of what I got… Angel Season 1 Buffy Season 5 A gift certificate to my favorite spa for a pedicure, a facial and a massage. Yay! THEN **Sauron’s** Mom gave me $100 and a $125 gift card to Walmart. She gave him $100 and a $125 gift card to Lowe’s. THEN she took the tiniest minion and left us child free from Friday afternoon until Sunday afternoon. It was wonderful. We saw LoTR Friday night. We went to Lowe’s and **Sauron** built me two bookcases I’ve been wanting. We bought some shelfing for the kitchen and he installed that for me. Then he installed a paper towel rack and an under the cabinet can opener for me. Saturday we took my parents out for dinner for their 31st anniversay. Sunday, after church, we went to my parent’s house for lunch with some family friends. Then we cleaned out our garage and watched 6 episodes of Angel. 😃 It was a GREAT Christmas. Sadly, there was no jewel encrusted marital aid but **Sauron** made up for that several times over the long weekend. 😉 ---

I got an electric skillet, myself. It makes you wonder, that. It’s almost zen. What would possess a loving, quite exceptionally well-off family would decide that what their only begotten offspring would really need is an electric skillet. Electric… skillet. ---

An electric skillet? That’s harsh. My sympathy. Oh…and I forgot… **Sauron** cried like a baby at Return of the King. And it wasn’t even at the part you would imagine the Dark Lord of Mordor crying at. Wimp. 😉 ---

The Dark Lord should not be watching **Angel** and buying bookcases. No, no, no! ---
