Snow Day! ...snow day?
In the spirit of an unexpected (sort of--my dad has predicted this for over a week) day off, I am cleaning out kitchen cabinets and planning on decorating the tree. These things true, I will be updating the site throughout the day with strange objects I've uncovered (some of which may become RogueGifts at the party) in my cabinets--some of which have recesses to which the light of day has been denied for as many as ten years! Exciting? EXCITING!
First weird find is a partial box of Dixie cups. I think these hail to about 4-6 years ago when I hosted a faculty party that featured a "white trash toast at midnight"--beer in dixie cups.
I also uncovered, vintage-my-childhood, Incredible Hulk thermos. No lunchbox. Just thermos. Huh? These could make excellent RogueGifts.
You post, too! What are YOU doing today?

Oh, man. That all sounds delightful. Especially the martini glass with the LED light, made much better by the accompanying story.
Remember when you let slip that you went to happy hour with Mrs. Merrill and spent the next half hour trying to convince me that people went to happy hour for other reasons than the alcohol?
Great adventure Easter

I spent the day with Rachel, Paige, and Kiel. All day. It was good. And I'm spending tomorrow with the again, only with the rest of the gang as well.
I suppose I'll go get x-mas presents tomorrow. Hm....now I must brain storm. Would the zoo let me collect elephant piss in jars?
the zoo might, but i think the elephants would object.
LOL.
So checking back here periodically was the highlight of my day yesterday...:O
I think you would need a rather large jar.
