Germ-free hugs and hairpats to them as wants 'em.
I've been battling a stomach bug since last night, I think I'm on the upswing now because I don't have to scroll fast past food and beverage posts on Fb.
Shir, I'm so glad to see you.
I just think it's rather odd that a nation that prides itself on its virility should feel compelled to strap on forty pounds of protective gear just in order to play rugby.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Home from brunch with the parents and their friends. We skipped the children pageant at church. Then I swung by a place to get a gift card holder and check a couple more places for a thing for dad.
Now home to bake a bit and maybe I will go out to half price books and sell 2 bags of books if I finish before they close.

Our wings are not tired.
I went to 3 stores and survived. And had lunch out with kids. Now I am wiped out. I'm not sure I have the energy to empty the grocery bags, much less cook stuff.

An update (yall were waiting with baited breath, right?)
Kelly and her gang stopped by, picked up the presents and Crowley, with a bonus of scrapping the snow off my car and clearing my driveway.

Arrived 3 hours early for our flight, so we got cocktails and are lounging around in the bar. Vacation has begun!

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Our yearly Christmas guest, Ed The Surly Elf, is here for the week. He is an old college friend of the Dh's and we've had him for the holidays every year for the last 23 years. He's a wonderful guy and it's great to have him here. He's a drama teacher, gay, and has a dark sense of humor so brings a delightful touch of hilarious and filthy humor to our holidays. Sadly, the heat out I the guest house is not installed yet, so it's not as cozy as we wanted it to be, but he's making do with a huge, fancy space heater. He's a trouper.
DH and I are only giving one token gift this year, as the house renovations ate all our money,, so it's going to be quick work in the morning, then off to the movies. We saved Star Wars for the centerpiece of the day and I can't wait!

I wholehearted support the viewing of Star Wars as a holiday celebration.

Yay vacation! Enjoy the cocktails. May smooth travels await you.
I'm chilling for a few before the kids get here. I had a big lunch so I haven't been up to starting dinner. It may be late.

Yay cocktails!! I have just landed in the frozen Midwest. Would've liked cocktails on the plane but figured I out not take any risks driving in snow :(
Also yay guesthouse!
