Hey amyjo!

What's up Marbles?

I'm just about done packing...going to need a ride to the airport so Carol and I can head out to NYC...

Oh, ok...do you have everything? I imagine New Years may get kind of chilly...

Oh, I'm all set...I even have the scarves, shoes, gloves and tickets that I got you for Christmas...

Fair enough...just don't have TOO much fun in NYC...Jim and I need you guys back for January 1st in a big way...

Don't worry your head, amyjo...what can possibly go wrong?

Ummm, Marbles....I really don't want to think about that...given you guys' track record

Don't be silly...This is going to be a ROCKING New Year!! Just wait and see...be ready in a minute or two! And Merry Christmas amyjo!!!

Merry Christmas Marbles!

Rat a tat tat...Boom! Boom!...Rat a tat tat...Rat a tat tat...Crashhhhh!!!

Mmmphhh???......What in the heck? Marbles? What are you doing?

Practicing my drum solo, silly.

When did you get a drum set?

Last night! It was on sale, and I thought it would make a great treat for you, you know with the drummer's drumming and all!

Rat a tat tat....Boom! Boom! Crashhhhhh!!!

Uggghh ***looking at clock***it's 7:30 IN THE MORNING, Marbles!

I know, amyjo, but I need lots of practice...these things don't just play on their own!

Uh, Marbles...could you wait to practice until I wake up?

Oh, amyjo, you are too funny! You are awake and talking to me....

Rat a tat tat...Boom! Crash!...Rat a tat tat....

Hiya amyjo!

Hello Marbles...

Eleven pipers piping...sounds dreadfully smoky, doesn't it?

Marbles, that is pipers piping, as in playing a musical instrument.

Ohhh, ok, but that would be rather shrill, wouldn't it? I mean, you would need a pair of headphones to block out the noise, I would think.

Some pipe music is ok, I suppose...

Would you like bagpipes, amyjo? I know of a band of bagpipe players that would come serenade you...

Uh, no...that's ok Marbles...

Come to think of it, I'm sure that Collin would be happy to do that for me...He is such a nice guy and all...

Uh, Marbles....Just who is Collin?

Carol and I met him at the LA airport....and of course he bought us drinks...a real gentleman *Smile*

And how do you know he plays bagpipes?

He told us...guess that's an icebreaker for sure....Now if I could just find his number...

No, that's ok Marbles...I'm not all that into bagpipes...really....

Oh, ok....maybe then I just get you a disc of bagpipes playing and some nice headphones...

Uh, ok...???

Well, you don't want ME to listen to that racket?

*Headbang*

Dear amyjo,

I found something a little different for the Ten Lords a Leaping...
I know that you like to read, and that you also love a good mystery
Well, here is the thing for you!

It is a Father Tom Christmas Mystery Novel called Ten Lords A Leaping! The author is C.C. Benison. I think you may find yourself embroiled in a plot twisting adventure! Yay!

I found it when I was nosing around your Amazon.com account...It was quite something! Besides, I know that you didn't want 10 lords coming to your house *Smirk2* !

Anyway, I'm off to peruse this Amazon.com thingy...it looks like a lot of fun...Still have 11 and 12 to figure out for you *Smile*

Love,
Marbles
Your Literary Enlightened Muse


Seriously, Marbles? What else are you buying on my computer? Or do I want to know? *FacePalm*

Dear amyjo

Hmmm...9 Ladies Dancing...

I already sent you tickets to the ballet.

I know! I'll buy tickets to see the Rockettes! There will be more than 9 ladies dancing of course, but it fits the theme! I love it! Of course, I'll need to use them for New Years, when Carol and I go out to NYC! I hope you don't mind, amyjo *Bigsmile* You are such a homebody! But I will be sure to send a video of the fun Carol and I will have for the New Year, before we buckle down and help you and ol' Noodlehead *Smile*

Love,
Marbles,
the ever thoughtful Muse


I'm glad that you are having fun with your shopping, Marbles. Yes, I will look forward to watching you and Carol party hard for the New Year! And yes, Noodlehead, er, uh, I mean Jim and I will be needing you guys very soon for the Winter Construct Cup! Don't forget!

sincerely,
amyjo

And the beat goes on....

Dear amyjo,

Who came up with 8 maids a milking? Where would you put all of that milk...and aren't you lactose intolerant anyway?

So I figured this out for you instead:

On the 8th day of Christmas,
I'd send you 8 maids...
Since you are in need of some serious
dusting/cleaning at your house.
They don't speak much English,
but just be sure to tip them very well!
It's Christmas, after all *Smile*

After that, then we can see about redecorating...I've been meaning to tell you that your furniture is all outdated. So, consider this my present to you!

Love,
Marbles
The Dust-hating and New Furniture Picking Muse.


Dear Marbles,

Thank you for the gift that keeps on giving??? I appreciate that you want to make sure I am up to date, and that my house will not cause you much sneezing for the New Year.

Thankfully,
amyjo

I just received another package in the mail from Marbles...

Dear amyjo,

I'm not going to send you seven swans,
Just think of all of the poo to clean up! *Sick*

So instead I will send you season tickets
to the ballet, including the opportunity to see Swan Lake.

I hope that fits the theme of my twelve days for you!

PS...If you cannot use them, I'll be happy to take Carol with me when we head out for New Years to see the ballet *Smile*

Love,
Marbles
Your very Cultured Muse



Dear Marbles,

A very thoughtful gift, indeed. I appreciate not getting Swans, as I would have no place to put them, and cleaning up after them would be messy, indeed. As I am here in Texas, I don't mind if you and Carol put the tickets to good use.
***shaking head***

sincerely,
amyjo

And here we go...another note from Marbles...when she gets on a roll...there is no stopping her.

Day #6

On the sixth day of Christmas
My Muse gave to me...

Six gorgeous silky scarves.
One in plum - a color most deep
One in apricot - a color to keep
One in rose - as rich as wine
One in jade - a color most fine
One in onyx - a color so dark
One in turquoise - quite a lovely spark

So these scarves Marbles did send.
And I know it's not the end!

Marbles is shopping - for her it is play
I just hope the bill I can pay!

Dear amyjo,

Day number 5!

Five golden rings, that's what is said,
Give me a break, who's the blockhead?
Platinum is the style that is worn,
Beautifully crafted, they shall adorn.
So five rings it is, to wear so proud,
At any party, you'll be above the crowd.

I hope you like the rings, and by the way,
I'll need to borrow them for New Year's day *Smile*

Love,
Marbles
Your Fashion Sensible Muse


Dear Marbles,

I'm glad you are enjoying yourself...you are certainly over the top! I'll be very happy when you decide to start helping me with writing again, instead of shopping til you drop.
Love,
amyjo

Sighhhh......

I just found out that Marbles is wealthy in her own right? So why mess with my credit card? Just got my statement and nearly fainted until I saw that the total was paid for...*Sick*

I also found out she's been up to mischief again...Here is number four on her Twelve Days of Christmas Theme: Four shoe boxes and this little ditty:

Dear amyjo,

Four calling birds could be so noisy,
I decided on something new.
Since my human isn't that bossy,
I thought I'd pick out a present or two.

The Fourth Day of Christmas
what a lovely time
If I didn't go extravagant,
It would be a crime.

Four pair of shoes
that would be divine.
Jimmy Choo, Guicci,
I think those are fine.

Louboutin, Atwood,
that makes four:
Now all I need
Is out of this store.

Hope you enjoy, them
And if you do not,
I'll just borrow them
And say I forgot!

Off to buy for Day Five, amyjo!

Love,
Marbles
The Footloose and Fancy free Muse

Later, Marbles...do you have to use my credit card? *Headbang*
