Solo never listens...

Not yesterday, at least. I had been at work all day, and had to go to Matt and Rene's after work. So on the way, I let Solo out, and looked around to make sure he would be OK out of his house while I was out enjoying Christmas presents.

So I meet Greg and Jenn at my house later to give them their gifts. Open the door to London after the Blitz. He jumped on the washing machine to get the bag of dog food, and ate about 3 days' worth. His butt then exploded on the floor twice, then he peed, then he ate a $200 remote control. It was a banner evening! haha.

Merry Christmas!

The 10 Wishes of Christmas - Pt. 2

Because I have so much in the way of friends and things, this was harder than I thought it'd be. I decided that a list with some fanciful items would be OK.

1. Someone to love me and wait for me to come home each day. Lori already took care of this one!

2. Fun puppy accessories, but NO COSTUMES!

3. A Home Despot gift card for a bazillion dollars so I can get a grill and renovate the back yard into a tiki lounge / bar with palm trees!

4. For everyone to email Greg at greg@hero-camp.com with your best wishes on his and Jenn's move to New York and new jobs. I'm really excited for them, even if I know I'll miss them like crazy. Don't tell them how you know about it!

5. Fun shoes in size 15. There's just not that many out there! Damn you, Skechers, why stop at 14?!

6. Cool Dia de los Muertos stuff. I'd especially like a calaca of a skeleton playing hockey, but have never seen one. You'd ALMOST think hockey's not huge in Mexico...

7. Cool tiki stuff, Disneyland or otherwise. I'm always on the lookout for "classic" tiki or old Vegas stuff.

8. Original Captain Carrot and his Amazing Zoo Crew art by Scott! Shaw.

9. Sketches of Captain Carrot or other members of the Zoo Crew to go in my shiny new themed sketch book!

10. You don't want to end on a sour note, because that doesn't help anyone. I'll try to keep this constructive, then! I'd like G-d to help me be as supportive as I want to be of Greg and Jenn's move and of Ryan and Michelle's, too. All 4 of them are very special people and are very special to me. While I selfishly wish that everyone would stay around forever, that's not what's best for THEM. They have new lives to start, and I want to be there to watch them succeed in them. I need to get past the silly jealousy that leaves me wondering what could have been. I don't have the guts to drop everything and move across the country, not even across the state. These people do, and I respect them for it. Good luck, guys, CP loves all of you!

The 10 Wishes of Christmas

Alicia had this great post on her blog at http://www.supposedlysane.com/ and I think it's a fun idea. I'll post my wishes in a bit...

Step One:
- Make a post (public, friendslocked, filtered...whatever you're comfortable with) to your blog. The post should contain your list of 10 holiday wishes. The wishes can be anything at all, from simple and fandom-related ("I'd love a Snape/Hermione icon that's just for me") to medium ("I wish for _____ on DVD") to really big ("All I want for Christmas is a new car/computer/house/TV.") The important thing is, make sure these wishes are things you really, truly want.
- If you wish for real life things (not fics or icons), make sure you include some sort of contact info in your post, whether it's your address or just your email address where Santa (or one of his elves) could get in touch with you.
- Also, make sure you post some version of these guidelines in your blog, or link to this post (it'll be public) so that the holiday joy will spread.
Step Two:
- Surf around your friendslist (or friendsfriends, or just random journals) to see who has posted their list. And now here's the important part:
- If you see a wish you can grant, and it's in your heart to do so, make someone's wish come true. Sometimes someone's trash is another's treasure, and if you have a leather jacket you don't want or a gift certificate you won't use--or even know where you could get someone's dream purebred Basset Hound for free--do it.
You needn't spend money on these wishes unless you want to. The point isn't to put people out, it's to provide everyone a chance to be someone else's holiday elf--to spread the joy. Gifts can be made anonymously or not--it's your call.
There are no rules with this project, no guarantees, and no strings attached. Just...wish, and it might come true. Give, and you might receive. And you'll have the joy of knowing you made someone's holiday special.
