I'll just jump in my time machine, go back to the twelfth century, and ask the vampires to postpone their ancient prophesy for a few days while you take in dinner and a show.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I'm awake, and the food poisoning has passed. I had a few bites of chef boyardee raviolis because i figured kid food would be mild enough to try, and am now sipping tea.

My head and neck are still achey from all the vomiting, but the nausea and dizziness is gone. Just tired, going to take it easy.

Still! Kristen and I have Sweeney Todd tix for today, and I was afraid I wouldn't be able to go, but it looks like it's on!

Merry Christmas!

Glad Allyson is feeling better; wishing for ita a whole new set of doctors who bring the anti-pain.

Waiting for family to arrive. Still have to wrap presents and fill a stocking. Perhaps I should get on that...

Oh Allyson, happy that you are feeling better.

My soufflees don't smell right. Bummer.

Aww, yay Allyson feeling a little better.

How are souffles supposed to smell, Kat?

I slept in and did not go to church. My sister did. I suspect I will hear about this later.

Now to decide what movies we want to go to when she get back.

It's almost noon and there's still about 4 hours to wait until we open presents! (We have to wait for my nephew to arrive and he opens all his santa gifts at home.)

In the meantime, I got up at 6 and helped my mom put the turkey in the oven. And we've peeled an assload of potatoes since.

I wish I could be there to see my nephew open his presents. I wonder how he'll like the shark tooth!

You should give them a call Allyson. They're up by now.

Merry Christmas, all!

Health!ma for ita's head and Allyson's stomach.

I got my mother a sonic screwdriver. She loves it, but my dad is playing with it right now and may have just broken it.

I love my family.


JenP - Dec 25, 2007 6:31:00 am PST #9079 of 10001

Who wouldn't love a shark tooth?? We're having filet roast, as is our tradition. And, apparently, martinis, by the looks of the new bottles of gin, vermouth, and jar of olives to my left -- this is not traditional, but I'm in full support. Well, I don't like gin, but I'm sure I can find a substitute.

Still waiting for the rest of la familia. Wrapping and stocking stuffing done. I could shower, I guess. I'm feeling magnanimous.

I got my mother a sonic screwdriver.

I want to find me one of those! (Sonic screwdriver, that is.)
