Just spent an hour or so with Amazon, spending a Christmas gift card. Judi, I found a used copy of Bewitching, so I'll finally get to read that one. Looking forward to it. Treated myself to a new dictionary too, while drooling over the OED and the two-volume Shorter Oxford Dictionary.

Brenda, that's awful! Hope you're feeling much better now.

Jill, the back went from eye-poppingly painful to the barest twinge by Saturday night. Woke up feeling something again this morning, so wondering if I'm sleeping in odd positions. But I'm fine now.

I promised the dog a walk a couple hours ago. Should have gone out while the sun was shining. It be cold now. But I'm guessing it's really clear, so it should be pretty. Just gotta convince myself both dog and I need the exercise.

Yeah, late lunch, Judi. But I was on a roll.

I see Jamie's icon. Welcome home, Jamie!

Being productive is good, Jill. Good job.

Laurie, is it bad to pick another option and thank God the dilemma isn't mine?

Lisa, I saw a few minutes of the game--one of the Chargers touchdowns and a TN turnover. Thought about you--imagined you cheering and lifting a glass to the team.

Feeling better--maybe 50%. That was just the weirdest thing, since I hadn't really done anything and when I finally went to bed--after the couch thing, of course--at near 7AM, nothing hurt. AFter two hours sleeping in my own bed, I was ready to scream. Just odd.

Pat, have a safe trip. Sounds like y'all are gonna take it easy--that's a great plan.

Brother off to the airport. Sun is shining here, yeah! It's been kinda ugly on the outside the last couple of days, even though Christmas has been shining brightly.

Jeff, congrats on all the good news! Love hearing those kinds of reports.

Was reading while lying on my stomach last night. Too long a time? I can't move this morning. And when I try, it hurts, hurts, hurts! Have never had lower back pain like this. Aspirin downed, ice pack done once, hot shower. Now that I'm home from the airport, I'll try another ice pack. Any quick remedies, please let me know.

Rand, you been sprung yet?

Very quiet in the house tonight. I also ate too much. Way too much. Took the dog for a walk an hour ago--cold and bright and perfect for Christmas night.

James, you need to write for a travel site. Your words and the way you look at life would have people traveling in an instant.

Tomorrow holds a trip to the airport and more editing. Tonight? A little editing and maybe watching Little Women. It's a great holiday movie.

The filet is roasting--smells yummy. And will probably be done sooner than expected. Sia, pancakes can be made on the stove. Bacon too.

Jamie, glad you got to the folks safely and could let us know. Hope you don't have any scary travel stories to share.

I really wanted a nap, but settled for a read. Just as good.

What a glorious day! Enjoy, everyone. Rand, if you promise to share your meal with the doctor, maybe he/she/they will let you go home sooner. But we don't want you going home until all is well. Celebrate again when you get home.

I've got to put some bows on a few gift cards. If I can find bows. Very low-key day after yesterday. Gotta prepare the filet mignon at some point. Don't know if we're having big lunch or big dinner. Both?

Lisa, what a welcome home. So yes, how would a traveler know about the rebooking? More fodder for a story.

Merry Christmas to all. Sitting by the Christmas tree, thinking about the year, the day, my life. Lifting up prayers for success and peace and joy for each of you, my friends. What a blessing you've been to me. I hope those same blessings return to you in overwhelming measure.

Resolutions for my characters? Hmm. Daniel & Jenna have resolved to introduce me to my agent this next year. Mal & Sophie have resolved to drive one another crazy and then decide they're in love. Ty is resolved to act more like a playboy and less like a geek. Kendall's gonna help him with that.

As for a couple of older characters, they've decided to be less wordy and to tell less of their stories than I'd presented. Too bad they can't cut out the words themselves. Guess that's my part, to decide what they should be sharing about their lives with the world.

Rand, I'm sending every Christmas goodie you could want, virtual versions. I hope your wife can curl up with you for a few hours and watch an emotional holiday movie with you in the hospital. Get healthy soon.

A happy Christmas Eve to all. May joy shine on you and laughter surround you.

No, not 100% CGI, but a high percentage.

Pat, what a wonderful, wonderful evening! Cheers to you and your man.

My brother and I just got home from Avatar. Neither of us were impressed. Some very cool technology. Very predictable story. And I much prefer real people to graphics. If you're going to see it, see it in a theatre. Just know that if you're a storytellers, you'll most likely find it lacking.
