Pork roast is in the roaster! Dog is meditating in front of the fire. Husband is restoring fallen decorations. I am contemplating a pre-dinner shower.
You know, with the exception of one deadly and unpredictable midget, this girl is the smallest cargo I've ever had to transport. Yet by far the most troublesome. Does that seem right to you?

Argh Kat.
I am so stuffed with turkey and fixins. I may die.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Gemma sounds like a great kid.
I am enjoying today because I finished all my cooking at 2 when I made creamed spinach to take to dinner. Yesterday involved a bit too much, between putting up and trimming the tree, making dinner, and wrapping presents.
And Kat, that's a tough one. I know that feeling, the frustrated/angry/guilt combo.

Cutie-pie doggies!
I'm sorry, Kat, that doesn't sound fair to you.
Because I have actually reduced the perpetual stack of dishes-that-need-washing, it is of course time to make stock and probably cook some other stuff, build that stack back up to its usual levels. Smells good, I must say - lotta fennel in the things-to-go-in-stock stash this round.

I made a big pot of Chili so I wouldn't have to fuss with dinner. We are chillaxing watching Despicable Me, playing with B's rainbow loom, and otherwise doing as little as possible.

"What would it take to get your daughter to stop tweeting about this?"
Just a quick note to say I love you, truly, madly, deeply. I was thinking this was my second worst Christmas, the worst being the one I was down in Texas and working, completely alone for the holidays. This Christmas season was rough without seeing my grandma for the first time in 40mmfth years, but then my son called and said he would be coming home tomorrow, AND THEN Buffistas emailed me with a project to make someone happy. Suddenly this is one of the better holidays.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I am home, kitties are happy to see me, and man...Christmas with my family was great, but I am so glad to be home and done with the holidays so life can go back to normal for a while.

Ooh, I almost forgot I had chocolate covered-cherries for Xmas! Eating them now.
My honorary aunt and uncle - they were not related to us but, I guess friends of my grandparents? I'm honestly not sure how they were connected to us. But they sent each of us kids a $5 bill and a box of chocolate-covered cherries every Christmas. It's the only time I ever had that particular candy, so it's totally a Christmas flavor for me. When I saw a box of them made with dark chocolate when I was looking for something else at Target, I went ahead and picked them up and saved them for today.
Pretty much as I remember them. Yum.
