As If You’re Doing Anything More Exciting this Christmas…
One of the birthday presents I was most excited about this year was this one from Olivia and Sabrina, the Crossword Puzzle Puzzle:
Look at it in all its nerdy glory. I’ve been working on it while listening to The Princess Diaries IV, which is a match made in heaven, if you ask me. The Puzzle Puzzle even comes with a dry-erase marker and clues, so once I’m done putting the puzzle together, I can solve the crossword. My goal is to finish listening to all the Princess Diaries books before book ten, Forever Princess, comes out on January 6th and to finish the Puzzle Puzzle before 2009. I have my doubts about The Princess Diaries, which is okay because it’s not like I haven’t read them all before, but I think I may just make it with the Puzzle Puzzle.

This goes well with my post about "what do you do to relax?" My favorite jigsaw puzzles are the ones with words in them, like historic front pages of the Times. Enjoy your Nerd Glory!

It is important to embrace one's inner nerd at all times. :)
Just wait until I wear the ultra-nerdy t-shirt my parents sent me for Christmas. :)

Sara, Thanks--I hope you're enjoying an equally nerdy Christmas! :)
Olivia, What is it? What is it? Do tell!

I think that might make my head explode.

Jules, I've done the frame and most of the numbers that go directly off the frame, and now I'm beginning to understand the exact difficulty level of this puzzle. I'm doing a piece here, a piece there. I may not make my goal.
