Happy Birthday Theodosia and Jesse!
Christmas Eve was a nice afternoon of pizza and visiting with the extended family on Mom's side, then hanging out just the two of us in the evening. Yesterday Mom and I went to my best friend's for lunch, and there were sitcom-esque antics with the turkey and other foods (but a delicious meal was still had by all).
Happy birthdays Jesse, Rayne, and Theo!
That sounds like a wonderful time with wonderful food, Laura. Yay!
Close to half if not over half of the department is out today. Peaceful.
Wow, I'm left handed and can write slowly but semi-legibly with my right hand, but definitely not mirrored!
Laura that crazy feast sounds awesome! My plan for today is...read more Yuletide?
Good plan, meara.
I need a hot beverage. Do I want coffee or cider? Or tea, I suppose, but that doesn't sound as appealing at the moment.
I love reading about everyone's holidays! We had our usual movie day. Stared with "Vice," which was beautifully acted but I already knew Dick Cheney was evil as fuck, so it didn't cover any new ground. Ten "Mary Poppins" which I loved, even though it could have deviated a bit more from the origin, IMO. Honestly, I could watch Lin Manuel Miranda smile his irresistibly sweet smile ALL DAY. Last movie was "Aquaman," and in spite of the scorching hotness of Momoa, we both found pretty horrible and we actually left before the end--something we almost never do.
DH gave me a waterproof Kindle for reading in the bathtub! I gave him a bat house for our backyard and he spent a good part of the evening last night researching bats.
-t, hot cocoa!
Oh, a waterproof Kindle would get me to take baths!
Oooh, good gifts. I saw a clip of Vice that was demonstrating Christian Bale's disappearing into the role. Technically impressive, he sure did disappear, but not something I need to see.
I don't have any, Laura! I decided on an espresso sized cup of coffee for now and grabbed a packet on instant cider to add hot water to in a little bit.
Laura that sounds like a fantastic day.
Happy birthday, Jesse!
Happy birthday, Theo!
We had a great xmas eve dinner with much laughter, and a lovely xmas day.
This morning I made waffles for Matilda and Emmett as they cuddled on the couch. His mom's about to collect him, and then he's off to Tahoe with his friends for a few days.
A very successful, happy, lovey xmas holiday.
FYI, the espresso cups that Starbucks is selling as ornaments hold less than 4 oz
