Going to see the Nutcracker with my SIL and her granddaughters. So excited. 50th anniversary of this rendition. I saw the first performance with my Mom.

I'm attending tscc, but it's Christmas lessons/programs all around so no biggie. not going to SS though lol

Hiking in the Superstition Mountains.

Watching Netflix, coughing and being all around obnoxious right now. Some friends were going to stop by, but we had to cancel.

BTW, the flu shot does not work on Influenza A this year. That is what I have. There is a quick test for it in the Dr's office.

Oh, Eric! So sorry to hear that! And at Christmas...bummer! Get well soon!

Since I am the designated driver I take DW to SM every week.

I'm on puppy watch. My black lab is in the process of birthing a litter as I write this. 2 born, hopefully another 7 or so. This will probably take several hours. A planned litter.

Sending tail-waggin good wishes to your doggies! And you too of course!

Thanks. 11 now! Hope that's all. Momma dog doing well.

Getting a rare weekend with NO PLANS!!!!!

The entire weekend is mine, so I'm getting groovy, and having fun in the kitchen today.

No reason other than I want to cook.

Starting with a batch of the spiciest, moistest, most perfect pumpkin bread followed by:

Yesterday I trimmed a tenderloin and today the scraps are going to become meatball subs. Mmmmmm.....sacralicious

Then for dinner I have chicken thigh marinating and it will be Murgh Makhani and some saffron rice & store bought naan.

3D printing zombie-xmas cookie cutters for this evening. Oh, and listening to Bob Rivers christmas carol parodies. :)

Went out Christmas shopping, found a new beer shop, so spent some money on beer and mulled wine! Yay! Then we had fish and chips in a restaurant.

Now I am working on some projects of my own and hope to settle down with my wife with some mulled wine and the 1951 version of a Christmas Carol. Beautiful!

Coffee (a lot) and preparing for our family to arrive for Christmas. Some shopping this afternoon (I drive, my wife shops) and then home for supper and booze.

Ron Burr

I'm enjoying my coffee after having read the paper as well as slept in. I might do some grocery shopping to get stuff for the dinner as my family has the big dinner on Christmas Eve, as I've finished my other shopping.

I am at my son's swimming lesson and feeling great, even with residual yuck, after being in bed with the flu for a good part of the week.

Went to breakfast and coffee with my husband this morning. I love Sunday mornings like that- where he and I can get away from the kids for an hour or so, eat a tasty bagel sandwich and sip on a latte and just share ideas, or just sit and enjoy the ambiance.

I'll be roasting a chicken for dinner and making banana bread. Sundays are the best days now!

Cleaning, wrapping some presents, and finishing up my treat bags for my clients and their children, furry or not. I need to make a batch of coconut dog treats and then I'm done!

Rfm-ing

My husband and I went to a small country church for morning services.

Then - heavens forbid -- we went to a small town restaurant for lunch, followed by a trip to WalMart to pick up some more tape for the Christmas packages.

Then we came home, and my husband is wrapping the remaining gifts.

Making cookies to give to my neighbors. We actual know them very well and like them and it is not an assignment

I am on my 15 minute break at work. Once I am off I am going to go home, get a nice shower and park my self on the couch for a few hours. Hopefully I can have a nice evening before I go to bed because I have three early mornings between now and Christmas eve.

Baking cookies, wrapping gifts, cleaning.

Christmas is at my house this year. I have 5 extras that I don't usually have. One new grand daughter, her other grandparents, and an aunt and uncle. They're Cuban, and are going to be roasting a whole pig out in the back yard. This should be a fun Christmas.

Mass at my Anglican parish church. Sang in the choir which I love. Sitting right now watching the Cowboys all over the Colts.

Our church's school of rock provided the music. We had a theme of solstice celebration of coming light. Closing song was rock n roll Christmas. We danced and clapped along. We had fun!

Getting excited!!!

Well, i just got off work this morning. my home health care client/boss broke her femur, so I got to hang out with her for my shifts (not a bad thing). made up for lost sleep with a nice nap, took a great shower (after-work showers are always great), and had some lasagna. oh, and i read some rfm. Much better than any day at church :)
always hated how if i got hungry at church I just had to be hungry until we got home. I'm feeling snackish now and it's so liberating to actually be able to go eat something! (and dont even get me started on fast sundays... lol).

Trying to find out what words are prohibited on this site today.

Only those words with eleven letters or more.

Floccinaucinihilipilification

Nope, that was not correct. In fact it was an Floccinaucinihilipilification of my efforts to help diagnose the problem.

Well shit, now what?


Well, damn the good luck...the word shit made it.


Really I don't know why the fuck you can't get any good words to upload.

We had a baby today instead :-)

CONGRATULATIONS! nobody can trump that!

RB

Thank you!

Wow! What some people will do to get out of going to TSSC! ;-)

Congratulation!

Wow, congrats! Details?

We actually had our Christmas celebration today, so I feel like Christmas is already done - kind of disorienting though.

But my son and future DIL are going to Long Island ON Christmas so we had them here early. I actually really liked having it early. We did everything exactly as on the actual day.

Now my husband and I are taking a little road trip on Christmas.

Went shopping with my daughter. Loads of laughs! We came home and listened to music while we talked and daughter knitted.

I went Christmas shopping with my husband We watched Christmas movies with our kids.

I am trying to figure out how to decorate the new house I moved into a month ago. Now that I finally have time off, I can now organize my things...all before Christmas, hopefully.

Court of Honor, first time I've set foot in the church this year. Last time I will ever set foot in an LDS church building ever. It was pretty uneventful.

It was also my son's birthday, we took him and his friend out for birthday dinners as their birthdays are a day apart.

Then helped my mom decorate her tree and my daughter and I went grocery shopping.

Spent the day with my atheist dad. Told him I resigned from the church and asked his forgiveness for being a prat and getting married in the temple. I'm divorced now and have been for years but I wanted him to know how sorry I was for hurting him so deeply all those years ago. One of my best Sundays ever.
