(The Incredible Shrinking) Miss Kendra's holiday goodness package reached Chez Sysm yesterday. The Sysmisgets were all atwitter with anticipation. Though, by and large, that is their natural state. Though a heartless bastard ruined the surprise of what form the goodness would take, we were all delighted to open the box and find this:



But we were a bit afraid, too. How had Miss K so well matched the decor of our home? Our house is greener than Al Gore. When we moved in, we put in green carpeting, green countertops, green grass. How'd she know? Astral projection?

Turns out, she had a spy. Of all the nerve. How would she like it if I told everybody what the decor theme of her house was?

Chili rolled himelf up in the quilty goodness. It's huge! Big enough to roll up all of the Sysmidgets into a giant SymidgetWrap!

The Sysmistress loves it, too. She was feeling the back of it, and was at a momentary loss for words. "It's chenille." I said. That prompted one of her "why do you know so many words" looks, recently invoked for my use of the words "tuber" and "beard".

Those words were not used in the same sentence.

We did a celebratory instant family dance party to welcome quilt, henceforth referred to as "Tad", into the family. If you'd like to re-enact, please enjoy the beautiful sounds of "Bongo Bash".
