Ok, today isn't being as cooperative as I would like. Yay, it is up to 3 whole degrees above 0 Farenheit (that's -16 for those of you following along in Centigrade). Boo, Daniel isn't getting to come home early for Christmas Eve. Yay, I called and ordered from our favorite Chinese restaurant before they closed early for the holiday. Boo, I can't pick up my order due to discovering a flat tire when I went start the car. Yay, they also deliver. Boo, I followed a link on an ad in my gmail for "#1 Law of a Perfect Body - Health.Discovery.com - How I Lost 42 Pounds in 2 Months. Just Obey this 1 Rule, That's All." to the Discovery Health website, only to find there is no article or video that remotely answers to that description.
That flat tire, well, it could be worse. I mean, Daniel's off work, so I can use his vehicle tomorrow. But if I've got his van, he won't be able to come hang out with me, while the group home is empty of residents.
Well I completely under estimated how much paper and ribbon I have. Looks like I'll be doing a lot of wrapping at Mom's in the morning.
We went to see Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa yesterday - that was a lot of fun. And whilst there I saw a poster for Australia, with Huge Ackman and Nicole Kidman, and today I saw a random trailer, and I am so going to go see that!
We're going to see
Madagascar 2
today. (Oh: Happy Christmas!) I had been thinking we'd see Australia, but penguins apparently beat Hugh Jackman (which would be a scene eminently worth filming).
Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa
That was fun. Perkins, megan, and I saw that in IMAX. I quite enjoyed the lemur's steeds.
I watched The Namesake last night, and found it very enjoyable and affecting. I know there were flaws with the movie, but it hit me in the perfect spot.
I spent the night at N's after playing scrabble last night, and when her alarm went off, we discovered it was yet again snowing, so she called in to work AGAIN, and we slept in very late and have been lolling about, reading and on teh intarwebs in our pajamas (she's playing WoW, I'm borrowing her laptop to visit y'all after exhausting both trashy books I brought). Not terribly Christmassy...I'm a little sad we're not at my house, where I at least got a tiny tabletop Christmas tree yesterday. Though at my house, I only have the one computer. But perhaps I can convince her to stay there tonight...
so it sounds like meara's having a merry Christmas. Good for you.
We don't have snow, just rain, but I like rain when I'm spending the day inside.
safty ma~~
peace on earth
I had to go out and get batteries so I could change the input on my tv and watch my DVD of
Scrooged
Luckily I need peach juice for the prosecco we are bringing to friends tonight
and random envelopes with cards and gifts ( like homemade jelly ) keep showing up on my doorstep.
I can haz adult egg nog. Nummmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
I slept in till noonish. Filled up the gas tank and got the car washed. By the time I got to the supermarket, breakfat had worn off. And oh boy did the bill show it. And the supermarket was PACKED!
Bosses wife responded, and asked if I could bring some pre-meal healthy munchies. So I picked up veggie & fruit platters.
Meara, I say the best part of snow and rain storms is snuggling with the one you love. So that makes it sound like you got a great Xmas going on over there.
I'm reading about old Christmas traditions. Pre-Victorian Christmas seems like it was very drunk.
