One thing led to another, Santa came early and now I'm a Napster-maniac! What happened was, we were supposed to go to my cousin's kids' Christmas show last night but, minutes before we were ready to leave, India starts throwing up all over the place! She's been sick all week - congested, runny nose - but I think the Robitussin we gave her after she ate dinner pushed her over the edge and there it all was, all over the floor.
