benswoman | That pink elephant...

that sat in the middle of the room all day just sort of put a damper on things.

I got to see Mia, twice as a matter of fact (once Christmas Eve and then tonight), but not having Keelie there...it just...

I was afraid to even talk about her. It just wasn't...well, it just didn't feel very festive.

I got sick as a dog at about seven this morning so I didn't get to sleep as well as I'd like to have. And then with the Keelie thing...

I just wasn't in a holiday sort of mood.

And what do I come home to?

My *@!# neighbor doing whatever it is they do with the scraping of funiture back and forth across the floor and the stomping etc.

I'm a scrooge and I know it.

Not so scroogy that I didn't get a few pics of Mia.

Mia says 'cheese' as I snap the picture:
