Afternoon miscellany

* Yesterday, I bought a slinky red dress. Halter top, tied-look between the breasts, slinky fabric, fire-engine red, above-the-knee-length. This dress? Dead sexy. Me in this dress? All I need is my red lipstick, which is back in Boston. Yes, there will be pictures.

* Have not been replying to any e-mail that requires thought. Have been exhausted and ouchy, napping the afternoon away.

* Adam says, "You look so cute with a shoggoth in your hair." Yes, there will be pictures of my hair shoggoth.

* I have finished wrapping things. Yay!

* Santa so loves Elayna this year. She must have been extra good.

* We leave soon to partake in a Christmas Eve tradition: chili at my aunt's brother's house. And they make some damn good chili.

* Tomorrow, after the orgy of unwrapping, there will be ziploc-baggie-omelets, then ham and veggies and ungodly good cookies at my aunt's mother's house. Then my birthmom's jambalaya and my aunt's lasagna back here.

* ...I should see if they have the fixings for my molasses cookies. Should've thought of that earlier. Ah well. Next year.

* What are your holiday food traditions? Post recipes!

Arisia!

Got my panel schedule, and I officially win. :) Not in that I got everything I wanted - I'm not on the LJ panel this year (but I will be at the meetup, if it's in a more spacious room than it was last year), nor am I on the Fast-Track science panel. :( But I am on some others I passionately wanted - and, most importantly, I'm on panels with friends. :)

Friday 7 PM: Reshaping Grimm & Goose
(with jesshartley and yuki_onna!)

Saturday 2 PM: Six-Word Stories (Fast-Track)

Saturday 4 PM: What Would My Super Power Be? (Fast-Track)
(with Merv!)

Sunday 11 AM: City Building
(with rosefox!)

I am... apparently the only person on the Six-Word Stories panel. Um. Help? Anyone have a hole in their schedule and want to volunteer? *puppydog eyes*
