participation day. everyone has been lazy. reading, not commenting. (no, really, not commenting is fine. comment if you feel so inclined. if you feel declined you should submit your application again) i was thinking about christmas. how it's already december 6th and i have bought a whopping one christmas present. and baked a bunch of cookies to give. a number of which were taken and eaten in LA, so baking more is on the to do list. if you could have one present, and only one, what would you choose? it can be materialistic, sappy, sentimental, worldly. whatever, really. a new car that doesn't break down? a satisfying job? a five course gourmet dinner? just curious...i normally ask way too many questions, but not here. i am asking one today...comment away, please. if you are inclined, of course.
