	Means "short and sweet" in case you were a'wonderin'.

	Anyways, it appears that in the Christmas Eve Party episode
my parents interfered with, Brooke went down by the pool and saw some
surfside skin, courtesy of Ridge and Taylor, and was rendered distraught.
She fled in near-hysteria.  Taylor and Ridge, otherwise in flagrante
occupado, didn't realize.

	On Thursday, Brooke calls Ridge, and bids him have a merry
little Christmas.  She "never wanted to be a burden" to him.  She doesn't
tell him she's hanging out at the Big Bear cabin, watching a snowstorm,
and hangs up.  Ridge can tell there's a problem.   Dad comes in, Ridgid
informs him of the problem, and they worry that they were too hard on
poor Brooke at the condo.  Ridge makes some calls, trying to find
Brooke.

	Darla and Sally are having a holly jolly Christmas (Sally gave
Darla some itty-bitties from Lustful Lingerie -- now I KNOW they read
my stuff!), and Darla invites Sally and a "date" to spend New Year's Eve
with her and Bill.  What date?  Why not Jack?  Sally thinks Jack is likely
to be decking the halls with Stephanie.  When what to her wondering eyes
should appear... but Jack at the door, with sales for the year!
	Sometimes I kill myself.
	Darla exits with a triumphant "Yes!".  While Sally's perusing the
sales figures, Jack brings in a basket full of little gifts and tells
Sally what a wonderful mass of woman she is, and how she made his life
more complete (with a job and friendship).  They hug, Sally's happy, her
cleavage resembles the Black Canyon of the Gunnison, but she looks
almost pretty!

	Stephanie and Taylor are discussing the previous fun party.
Stephanie tells Taylor that since they didn't see much of her and Ridge
at the party (except for Brooke, who saw a lot of her), Eric was there
and even enjoyed himself, but Brooke fled after seeing Ridge and Taylor
makin' wavies.  Taylor notes that Brooke must have gotten an eyeful
WoWer!  and not of pool water, either.  Steph informs her that she fled,
and tells Taylor that it serveth Brooke righteth.  Changing the subject,
Steph gives Taylor several cool carats of heirloom ice for being a
WUNDERBAR daughter-in-law.  Taylor is moved to near-tears, and I am
moved to near nausea.  Kristen and Felicia apparently didn't get the ice
from Mommy Forrester because they married nogoodniks.

	Back at the cabin, a bursting Brooke flashes back on Ridge's
ring-in-the-champagne marriage proposal, before Eric's blindness bout
derailed her nuptial plans.  Almost had it!  she thinks.  The phone
rings.  Ridge is on the other line, hoping she's there.  He's about to
hang when she gets on the line.  She says to leave her alone, but
Ridge, knowing the biological alarm is about to go off, assures her he'll
come and get her, because the snowy roads are treacherous.  He grabs a
jacket and runs for it, neglecting to pack his Coleman Stove.

	To heat the hot water, of course.

Brooke looks at the snow a-fallin' down.


	Tune in this Thursday, when Ridge could very possibly say:

	"Not YET, Brooke!  If you hold the baby in for two more hours,
we could win all those first-baby-of-the-year prizes!"
