Hah! Too late! I made the mistake of telling my husband about **rosie’s** present and was instructed to save the link to favorites. He thinks it’s pretty cool. We also have a lot of vinyl that we never play now because we don’t have a turntable anymore. So, the prime rib roast beast has been picked up, I took the kids to the store so they could buy presents, and I picked up our last minute grocery items. Way too much money spent again. I just about gagged when I paid for the roast, but I was expecting it to cost that much. I guess I was just really, really, really hoping that I’d be wrong. Now, I need to get back on the cleaning band wagon. Blech. I really, really don’t even feel like it, but those damn carpets really need to be cleaned. I tell you what, if I ever move again, all high traffic areas will be hard wood floors, no ifs, ands, or buts about it. In case I don’t get back here before Christmas: MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!! ---

And Happy Hanukkah! And Post-Solstice! And any other applicable holidays! I am highly unwilling to do all the housework I haven’t done yet. Made most of the food, though. ---

[QUOTE=anyrose] The hell with the new microwave I was gonna buy myself for Hanukkah - Now I’m getting [this!](http://www.hammacher.com/publish/73363.asp?promo=xsells) [/QUOTE] I want one that can play 78s. If you search on ‘USB turntable’ you’ll get a bunch of hits like [this one.](http://www.amazon.com/Ion-iTTUSB-Turntable-USB-Record/dp/B000BUEMOO) **Zelie** , if I move to London do you think I could become a train driver? I think I’d be good at it. Happy Holidaze, everybody! ---

This might be a good time to ask, since I didn’t see it mentioned up there anywhere else - but last week I offered up the Christmas morning MMP. Did anyone else, or am up? I mean, I’m up early that day anyway, so it’s nothing for me… ---

I’m here in body but that’s about all. I don’t have The Sick, I have that infamous partner disease, The Tired. 'im indoors snores. Very badly. I can’t sleep. Spent half the night on the sofa but that didn’t help much, so today’s fun-packed day of studying may have to be put off. Bah. Anyway, I’m in and out for the next couple of days so: Happy Whatever-You-Celebrate! ---

Good morning. I haven’t slept all night, and I have kibble in my sock. It’s coffee, then church, then work. Hopefully, I can get a nap in before midnight mass. Merry Christmas! Feliz Navidad!

We got to Orlando about 9:30 last night - the trip took about 16 freekin’ hours - ick! For unknown reasons, in South Carolina, traffic would just stop. But we’re here, so there’s that. Just wanted to let you all know, since I’m sure you were worrying… I probably won’t be able to post again till we get back to Merrylande, but I’ll be with you in spirit. Ho ho ho to one and all! \* MWAH!\* ---

[QUOTE=Liberal] What’s an MMP? [/QUOTE] It’s listed in the handy dandy [glossary to the SDMB](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=320298) in ATMB. Basically it’s a place where we can post all our random MPSIMS without cluttering up MPSIMS all week long. Our motto is: Keeping MPSIMS free of MPSIMS clutter because we’re nice, dammit! So, it’s kinda a MPSIMS within the MPSIMS. No it doesn’t make sense.
