Sheryll again:

*hands over more cookies* 
We've got lots more of those left here. And being
married to chef means one of us will make more when
the containers are empty. :)

I just figured replacing things with birthday
decorations would be a nice thing to do, so that the
birthday wasn't overshadowed by the rest. I still have
my tree up, but that's more due to a)my being sick and
b)my being a serious procrastinator who probably won't
take it down 'til closer to the end of the month
anyway. 

Ewww, those fake snowmen. And the tacky plastic, light
up candles. Hubby thinks there should be a city by-law
limiting them to 1 per 20 block radius. :D

Sheryll, who says she can be meaner than the Grinch,
but isn't really (but ssshhhhh, don't tell anyone -
it'll blow my reputation!)
