continuing with the Christmas holiday theme, i found this and a few more Christmas balls in the dungeon that is my spare room where different craps reside (good thing they don't smell like crap). and here i thought i've already sent all to my sister in manila. what i need are ribbons, red ribbons, blue ribbons, gold ribbons, white ribbons! but i was lazy to go to the dollar store. i was out buying chocolate at costco earlier in the afternoon and wet snow was falling heavily all the time. i was rather quick with the small shopping that i was out of that pandemonium after an hour and a half. by the time i was walking back home from the bus stop, the wet snow was starting to turn into ice. i wouldn't be surprised if tomorrow going to church i'd be slip-sliding on black ice.
