Christmas Gifts, 2006

From my husband, after several pointed hints:
Pink Think: Becoming a Woman in Many Uneasy Lessons--Lynn Peril. Anyone who refers to "femininity" as "the other 'F' word" is going to sell me a book.

From my sister:
Mommy Knows Worst: Highlights from the Golden Age of Bad Parenting Advice--James Lileks. Not on par with his classic Gallery of Regrettable Foods, but still fun.

Also from my husband:
The Complete Peanuts 1959-1962 Box Set--Charles Schulz. Bringing my collection current at six volumes, twelve years.

And a buncha other stuff, not 50's-related.

Holiday Customer Service

I've done so much textile work over the past month, and was hoping to post some images of that and all of the Christmas recipes I tried out (chocolate peppermint cookies!). But our Canon PowerShot A70 is on the fritz, and although Canon Support auto-generated an email reply to me on Thursday, so far they haven't made good on their promise to contact me "during
our normal business hours of 6 a.m. to Midnight, Eastern Standard Time." Maybe in the New Year.
