LOL!<BR/><BR/><B>Cloudscome,</B><BR/>Yes, I do overhear some gems but I think it's only because I've trained my ears to listen. In fact, I heard a DOOZY at Starbucks this morning.

Of course, you've got to factor in that anyone who would say that would be so ignorant that she probably wouldn't know it was Latin.<BR/><BR/>I wonder what Christmas carols bigots sing... <BR/><BR/>"O holy night,<BR/>It's so good to be whiiiiiite.."<BR/><BR/>L.A. always clears out on holidays because hardly anyone is really FROM there. Except Flip and a handful of other expats.<BR/><BR/>Have a wonderful Christmas, Liz. Enjoy your lovely family and then get your ass back to the blogstone soon.heartinsanfranciscohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07535397382991383931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8010473.post-8864181852524606342007-12-24T18:13:00.000-08:002007-12-24T18:13:00.000-08:002007-12-24T18:13:00.000-08:00Stopping by to wish you and the family a Happy Holiday!!!!1969http://www.blogger.com/profile/15610490400251405386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8010473.post-51901926533353872952007-12-24T13:25:00.000-08:002007-12-24T13:25:00.000-08:002007-12-24T13:25:00.000-08:00<B>NYC/CR,</B><BR/>Thanks for the well wishes! I'm glad my insomniac musings gave you a chuckle. You know, the woman in Anthropologie seemed more fiancee than wife. But perhaps she'd do well to brush up on her French so she can figure out what the heck her man is talking about!<BR/><BR/><B>Lola,</B><BR/>Absolutely. I've enjoyed eavesdropping ever since I was a little girl listening at heating vents. I found out lots that I probably shouldn't have.<BR/><BR/><B>Nick,</B><BR/>Oh he was quite a liar and the "fiancee" knew he was lying. Oh, the bargains folks arrive at in relationships. And you know didn't strike me as the secretarial type. She seemed too high fashion, too actressy.<BR/><BR/><B>Shelly,</B><BR/>My life would truly be dull without eavesdropping. And thank you for the warm wishes. I'm looking forward to a lovely time with my family!<BR/><BR/><B>DMB,</B><BR/>I can understand enough. I'm so out of practice these days that my reading and listening skills are much better than what actually comes out of my mouth. I confess I was the one who helped several people cheat their way through French 1, 2 and 3 in college. However, the details will be concealed to protect the guilty. ;)<BR/><BR/><B>MDC,</B><BR/>Yes, Uncle Cutty in my world is that one smarmy uncle everyone seems to have. Comes over for Christmas but no one wants to sit next to him. LOL!<BR/><BR/>Our Trader Joe's tend to be overcrowded and claustrophobic as well. Half the time I'm convinced they're in violation of fire codes because there's so many people in there.<BR/><BR/>Going for a walk is a great idea. Maybe I'll do that tomorrow. And I hope you're enjoying Christmas Eve as well. I'm eating California Rolls and watching Pirates of the Carribean!<BR/><BR/><B>Joy,</B><BR/>Yeah!!! I'm so glad you know it too. Yes, all the Catholics/Catholic school alumni know that tune in Latin. Or at least they should. It totally brought back memories for me as well. And isn't the Latin so much better?<BR/><BR/>Hope you have a very merry Christmas, too!<BR/><BR/><B>Jameil,</B><BR/>It's SOOO fun to sing that in Latin. I'd really forgotten about it. <BR/><BR/>Yeah, Nic Cage and that hair...Two days later I'm still cracking up laughing. He must have called Beyonce's people.Lizhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17794296990587989214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8010473.post-86374431287759550092007-12-24T12:57:00.000-08:002007-12-24T12:57:00.000-08:002007-12-24T12:57:00.000-08:00wow. i can't believe you know that song in latin! that's fab!! i wanna sing w/carolers!! i would totally leave my house and join them if they came here. lol.

Sister Leone (Holy Name on Jefferson Blvd.) used to make all us little black girls and boys practice and practice and practice. Kyrie eleison...<BR/><BR/>Wow! That brought back memories...<BR/><BR/>Have a Merry Christmas!Joynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8010473.post-35758283561598805142007-12-24T10:48:00.000-08:002007-12-24T10:48:00.000-08:002007-12-24T10:48:00.000-08:00Liz,<BR/><BR/>"that wasn't them in that porn magazine, no matter what Uncle Cutty says."<BR/><BR/>That's so funny. And the name Uncle Cutty is really funny.<BR/><BR/>Also when you mention the carolers being outside Trader Joe's, I thought there is no way they could be inside, Trader Joe's are so claustrophobic. At least the ones here are.<BR/><BR/>You talk about the traffic being light. That's the one thing I love about holidays, since I'm not doing the family thing, the lack of traffic. <BR/><BR/>I really like to go for walks on holidays. The streets are so empty and peaceful.<BR/><BR/>I hope you are enjoying Christmas Eve.Mes Deux Centshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10697034868111011343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8010473.post-55992938278306926502007-12-24T10:19:00.000-08:002007-12-24T10:19:00.000-08:002007-12-24T10:19:00.000-08:00And the Oscar goes to...the lace front wig!!!! <BR/>Hysterical.<BR/>And you understand Francais?

First I can't believe that grouchy woman. Good thing she doesn't live in NYC where there are more Christmas decorations and in my humble opinion more of the holiday spirit. <BR/><BR/>Your line about the awkward Christmas dinner and the lack of a progress in Hollywood was dead on. That is the type of energy I will not miss when I leave. <BR/><BR/>I agree with you regarding Nic Cage. A few years I went to visit my friend who was producing a movie Nic was starring in. I was told not to make eye contact with Nic. People have issues.<BR/><BR/>Your writing is so descriptive. I could just see that French man lying to his wife/financee. ha, so wrong but hilarious. <BR/><BR/><BR/>I hope you have a very Merry Christmas and best wishes for '08.nyc/caribbean ragazzahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09370358466131415888noreply@blogger.com
