pyrogus, azuresandstorm, funkergirl, little kender and braidy to show up at the ranch for the trip to orpheus/taboo - the night was great musically, i didn't want to get off of my box on the dance floor (i would have happily pushed a few rude assholes off though) but it was so hot inside i had to go stand out in the cold (in a miniskirt and corset) to cool off on 3 seperate occasions or i would have passed out from the heat - overall, though the night was fabulous, too warm or not, and reminded me yet again that i am spoiled here - at least 2 times a week i have the opportunity to go to a club where the music is good and i am at home... went home to find zooom still up and online - he went to his motorcycle club's holiday gathering and was playing online... sunday i awoke about 10:30, still tired but needing to be productive... had a bagel (thanks miss stacia) and headed out to complete the odious chore of holiday shopping - i enjoy giving gifts, but i hate shopping for them, especially when the stores are understaffed zoos as they were yesterday... by about 5 we were ready to kill people, and only a few gifts away from finished so we decided to call it quits and head home... zooom unloaded the car while i crawled into the attic to pull down gift wrap, etc... then the wrapping frenzy began - i got about 1/3 of the way done before jennytheonly frogmaus and kitten came over for dinner and conversation - we finished miss stacia's wonderous food and visited for a few hours, then i headed to bed for some much needed sleep
