Sundry Sunday: Christmas and Vinegar

1. Since I've been on the subject of searches people are using to come to my site, here's a good one from the other day: "farts are smelling really horrible." Whoever you are, I feel for you. Because I've been there.

2. WHERE THE HECK ARE YOU SUPPOSED TO HANG YOUR STOCKINGS IF YOU DON'T HAVE A FIREPLACE? I cannot figure this out. We have these beautiful monogrammed stockings from Land's End, and they MUST BE HUNG. I am at a loss.

3. That one Tom Waits song? When the robots are down in the underground metal-melting chop shop place? Coolest song ever.

4. What are you supposed to do when your kid grabs a glass ornament off the shelf at Target and chucks it across the aisle where it shatters into a jillion pieces? Is running away really fast ok?

5. Apparently Elle McPherson is an inattentive mother. This is strangely comforting to me.

6. Ok. What is it about Salt-and-Vinegar potato chips that make them so disgustingly irresistible? I mean, the taste is awful and it makes me shudder and yet I can't stop eating them. I can hear them calling to me in the middle of the night, begging me to partake of their sour, salty goodness. A conundrum.

7. AND OH MY GOSH why are tree skirts so flippin' expensive? $40 for a crappy little circle of fabric with a hole in the middle of it? Yeah, I don't think so.

8. I know it only cost $1.99, but still I was expecting my Glitter Snow Drape to look a little less like dryer lint.

9. Finally, and most importantly: our Tivo only recorded the first half of Lost and I think I will really, truly die if I don't find out what happened. It's a life or death matter folks. Help a poor girl out.

check out "television without pity" for all your tv update needs.

PS - it was a good one (what am I saying, they're all good)

Did you see that neat thing Heather made at Super Saturday? It was a wood thing with hooks and it said "Hung with Care." I want one, since we have not fireplace either.

Since we won't be home for Christmas, however, I have just taped mine to the wall. Tacky? Maybe. Practical? Probably not. Inexpensive? Totally.

The chips are killing me. I just bought a bag of the salty and vinegary ones yesterday. They are SICK! Reading this post made me want to go eat more. I can't stop.

And as you've seen (today in fact) we have a fireplace but hung our stockings on the wall.

It's amazing the sort of search engine phrases that bring people to sites. Right now mine comes up #1 for "big vulvas" on Yahoo. Guess that's what I get for talking to little old ladies in the supermarket huh?

We taped our stockings to the fireplace. Santa usually fills our stockings and then puts them out on the couch christmas morning, so no worry's about tape not being strong enough!
