Day 58—29 December 2011 Time flies when you’re having fun. It’s that time of the year again—new calendars! I have some fun Page-a-Day calendars; but, I also like to have a couple good utilitarian calendars for the inside of the medicine cabinet (recording how many days I wear my contacts) and the office wall (multiple uses). Time really does fly—today, Wendy (of vin de primeur fame) and I had a four-plus hour lunch date!

Oh, snap! [or pop!]</b>
To me, bubble wrap is a gift in itself. This bubble wrap “protected” a silicone baking pan I received from NOS, who had the good sense (perhaps prompted by his dad) to include the bubble wrap as a bonus gift. Please also note my super-cool New Year’s Eve nails. Happy New Year, everyone!](https://photos.smugmug.com/Project365/2011-November-Launch/i-VfXgmVD/1/02bc4858/Ti/2012%2001%2001%20bubble%20wrap%20001-Ti.jpg)

Jingle Bells</b>
For more years than I care to remember, Tom has been using a Scooby Doo stocking he got from LVDW (also known as “The Weiner Lady” and “Movie [W]itch”) at an APO holiday grab bag—an occasion that, sadly, has gone by the wayside in recent years. Scooby Doo’s voice box blocks the opening, rendering it essentially unusable. Yesterday, during a break from mounds of vacation laundry, I went to Target on possibly the worst day ever to <i>need</i> dishwasher detergent. But, look what I found—a kitschy, higher-capacity jingle bell stocking for Tom. He’s overjoyed!](https://photos.smugmug.com/Project365/2011-November-Launch/i-c9N7RX4/2/0aaf34bb/Ti/2011%2012%2027%20jingle%20bells-Ti.jpg)
