A sleepover at my sister's.

And then "Ladies Christmas Lunch" in Saratoga with many of the beautiful women in my extended family (which is one of my favorite ways to kick off the holiday season because it makes me feel close to my Grama, who I miss dearly, and who passed away on this day 6 years ago).

someone to warm my feet
New Years

Trip home during Christmas

on the 15th my store is participating in Shop with a Cop and helping them host a Community children's Christmas party

I'm looking forward to reading the L.A. Times online tomorrow morning. By then they will have announced the Poet Laureate of California. I know who's going to get it—a reporter from the L.A. Times told a friend of mine out there and he told me (well, he hinted quite obviously, LOL).

Kay Ryan from San Jose California was the U.S. Poet Laureate a couple years back. I love her work and flirted shamelessly with her when she came through NYC to read a while back. I'm always happy when a woman, especially an older woman, and I have to admit, an older butch, gets a big prize.

I was beside myself when Wyslawa Szymborska got the Nobel Prize for Literature. She's not a lesbian, that's not what I'm saying. She was a brilliant brilliant old woman who wrote with passion till she died last February.

I have always loved Judy Grahn, too, from way way back. Another butch poet. I wish she were getting the California Poet Laureate at the very least and she deserves the U.S. one, IMO but I'm glad this other person (TBA!) is getting it now. Twenty years ago I saw Judy Grahn read somewhere and had her sign her books for me and she kept saying, Don't I know you from somewhere? I was levitating off the ground.

I love those old dyke poets.

i'm looking forward to a little cooler weather. hell its december and in the 60's and 70's. i was hoping for snow at xmas time

the weekend..where I can snuggle up and sleep in

ringing in the New Year.....
 

Looking forward to bringing in the New Year with her, the first of many more!

Wrapping presents (my favorite part of Christmas)

Spending the weekend with Him :rrose:

Right now.... COFFEE.... I need an IV drip of it....After being awoken from that awful nightmare, I had a hard time going back to sleep...I'm still cobwebby...
I could use some breakfast too...one thing at a time...
I'm looking forward to work today. I miss my guy after a few days...he's a lovely man... :)

It's Poet Larueate of Los Angeles, not California. But you know that by now...

The New Year
