Tim and I gave each other heart-themed jewelry for Christmas
Totally adorable!
Dad took a tumble on the stairs last night (answering the flood alert phone call)
Yikes! Hope it's nothing that can't be fixed with an ice pack.
You do well to flee, townspeople! I will pillage your lands and dwellings! I will burn your crops and make merry sport with your more attractive daughters! Ha ha ha! Mark my words! Ooh! Ale! I smell delicious ale!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

"already on the kiss-cam with Karl Marx"-
we are also having cherry pie today--the cherry continues to be the official Buffista fruit.

Hmm. We have no cherry pie here, but I did bring a strawberry tart from the farmers market in San Antonio.
Also Mom got me the immersion blender I wanted, so we may have homemade potato soup later.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies and Happy Holidays all!
Yesterday I had the day off, and got my car back from the body shop.
Not much going on here, other than Gary watching the Commanders lose.
I have tomorrow off as well, and Gary has the whole week between Xmas and New Year's off, so we will go up to get Mr. S in the morning.

Aw, hearts and cherries! Bizarro Gift of the Magi with a happy ending
We had cranberry apple pie for breakfast. Not cherry but damn good.
My parents’ TV just suddenly died on Monday so we are watching football on my laptop.

I took Christmas off this year. The thought of shlepping to either of my sisters’ places didn’t excite me this year. Even if I went, it would have felt like I was just going through the motions. Instead, I’m sitting on my couch eating Chinese takeout.

One of the nice things about making a beef tenderloin filet for Xmas eve dinner, is having steak and eggs for breakfast the next morning.
This was Matilda's BF's first xmas with us, and I think he was a bit overwhelmed with the muchness of stuff.
He's a huge Spider-Man fan and I got him a cool sweater that subtly but clearly evokes Spidey.
I was gifted several gorgeous scarves.

What a mix of specific and vague!
