home sweet home

I had a lovely time this evening at the annual Yankee Swap party, but things started breaking up before ten, and I was feeling a bit homesick for my own bed after spending two nights in two different places, so I headed out into the rain and drove home. The traffic was light, and the rain wasn't too bad; I made it home in under two hours. Of course, now I'm wide awake, so I'm watching X-Files and catching up on what you all have been up to for the past two days. It's been quiet around here! Thanks to [livejournal.com profile] ghoti72 for transcribing my voice posts! Where were you tonight? You were missed, as were several others. Small crowd this year! Only 30 for the swap; usually there are close to 50. I ended up with a Bruins calendar, which I will foist off on a coworker. There are a few hockey fans around the office. Hey, at least I knew which sport they play!

The movie today (Night at the Museum) was a lot of fun; we all enjoyed it. I definitely recommend it. The theatre was crowded! Lots of folks had the same idea.

My brother sent us Monty Python plush toys for xmas; I got a talking Tim the Enchanter, while my sis got a talking Spanish Inquisitor and Willow got the killer rabbit, whose eyes glow red when you squeeze its paw. She didn't know what it was. We must initiate her into the mysteries of the Holy Grail! Tim will sit next to the Wild Thing plush toy that bro gave me a few years ago. Oy, now I'm going to have to find something equally silly to send him! This should be fun. *g*

I think I will attempt to sleep now. Nighty night, LJ!

It's been too long since I last saw "Holy Grail", because I didn't recognize your new toy. I've got to fix that! I think we may have a Monty Python virgin in our coven, so there's a good excuse. ;-)

It was wonderful to see you last night. I'm glad you got to sleep in your own bed, on top of it all.

Oh my, who hasn't seen it? That must be remedied!

It was great to see you guys, too! I'm glad you made it. I'm very glad I got to sleep at home. There's no place like it. :)
