how perfectly swell: matthew prins (or matt prins, or thew, or...oh, you don't care) alone with his stupidity
I am good and I am bad.
I am good because I am very much ahead of the Christmas-present buying game. Not only do I have moM's present (which, by the way, have you received yet, Beth-Annie?), but I have four presents for Kim (plus one that I need to go pick up later this week), and I have ideas for everyone else on my Christmas list except daD. This is very, very strange.
I am bad because I have unlost some of the weight that I had lost earlier this year -- although I'm still certainly more svelt than I was at either Beth-Annie's or Kim's weddings -- so now that this stupid house stuff is mostly done (other than unpacking 7200 boxes and shaving a quarter-inch of the bottom of 12 doors because our carpet is too tall and finishing up patching the ceiling in the bathroom and finishing up plywooding the attic and, um, probably more I'm forgetting), I am going to start running ay-gehn. I have spent $10 and signed up for the 18th Annual 5K Toy Run/Walk on December 14th, and now that I have put down money (or fake credit-card money) on the event, I will feel compelled to get into shape for it, because I am clever like that.

i sincerely do not know what you are doing here. are you lost? were you
looking for your delicate calico cat, and did you follow her up two flights of stairs
to this room? she is not here. she was here, yes. we gave her a warm bowl of milk, we talked with her about campaign finance reform for a time, and then she bid us good day. i believe she was
going to the post office two blocks down, but i don't quite recall.
for surely you did
not find your way from prinsiana, the least traveled site on
the internet. if you did, though, perhaps you are looking for humor. perhaps you are looking for profundity. perhaps you are looking for answers.
i'm sorry, but you shall go naught-for-three.
