Natter 64: Yes, we still need you

After leaving my cookies out on the counter all day, I just ate one with a broken leg, and it's pretty good! And they are cute enough. So that's good. At my parents, I frosted cupcakes and chopped some stuff, and then we watched half of Seven Brides for Seven Brothers (I typed "Several" the first time, which would have maybe been a funnier movie), and decorated the tree. Nice! Now I just have to remember to bring everything over tomorrow.
Still no snow here.
Oooh! The Y may open at noon tomorrow! Yay swim!
From wayyy back:
Where's javachik? She's the cable company magic bill reducer, right?
Yep, Sparky! I shall write to him and brag.
Jesse, I meant to say yesterday that I love the moving nativity. That is awesome.
Tonight's dinner: ahi tuna w/ shredded carrots in a ginger/garlic/teryaki sauce w/ soba noodles over fresh spinach leaves. Oh, I'm going to love living here. Once all the freaking snow melts. Pretty, but PITA.
Continuing my string on ridiculous holiday specials, I am watching the Thomas Kinkade movie. Snowy days seem to require stuff like this.
I totally copied my mother and put the nativity folks on my bookshelves, too. It's cute!
I just wrapped some presents, so I can bring them over tomorrow, but then I remembered both that I had a concept to bring a big suitcase for Christmas, so I can put everything else in there.
It's totally a lovely tradition!
We used to always read the Jesus story (wtf, I have no idea what else to call it- it was a fairly traditional kid's book, I can even remember the pictures) every Xmas Eve. I think my mom still misses it now that she's the lone christian in a family of the faithless. It was wonderfully written. I should tell her to bring it to read with the boys. It's a nice tradition, regardless of belief.
Jen, after the holidays, I need to have you over. So happy to have you here!
Snow has let up and is vertical for the first time. eta: oops, I lied. That was 10 minutes ago. Is lighter, though.
Apparently people in Boston buy eggs instead of toilet paper, along with their milk and bread -- half of the snowpocalypse jokes on LJ are about french toast. Funny!
I wonder what happened to our old nativity scene. It wasn't anything remarkable, paper mache and plaster from a 5 and Dime back in the '50s, and most of the farm animals has lost at least one leg. But I loved arranging and rearranging and admiring the robes on the Kings. I hope my sister with the grandkids has it.
