Secret Santa Reveal

If anyone cares, I can finally point out the story I wrote for the Secret Santa fic exchange. It was for amonitrate, and it's called Life is Short.

As some of you may recall, that was actually the second story I wrote for her. The first one, the one I decided wasn't a suitable holiday sort of tale was Silver Service. So now you can compare, if you're so inclined.

Only lferion guessed which story was mine. She was also the only one to mention me or my story period. So she gets two gold stars! Apparently it was the 'California-ness' of the story that gave it away for her [g] Yeah, I guess if you read my LJ regularly, that would be a hint.

And if you're looking for more to read, there are lots of good stories over at the comm. Something for everyone! I won't ever make it through all of them, but the ones I've read have been a lot of fun. I enjoyed the experience, though I'm not sure I'd do it again. But it was a an interesting exercise all around.

I'll see about posting my story here at some point, and include the photos of the setting that I actually do have!

Bringing Lunch In

I have so much baking to get done today, I'm being lazy and sent Nin out to get lunch. Less dishes to clean up and stuff. I'm looking at the list of food prep and am feeling a little overwhelmed! It'll all get done -- eventually!

And then there's our annual Xmas DVDs to watch!

Bridget Jones' Diary
Love Actually
Nightmare Before Christmas
Blackadder's Christmas Carol

And usually at some point we end up watching the Pride and Prejudice mini series. We also still need to watch the extras DVD from PotC:AWE.

Added later: Forgot! Bernard and the Genie! One of my favourite holiday movies.
