I mean, let's say you did kill us. Or didn't. There could be torture. Whatever. But somehow you found the goods. What would your cut be?

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.

Like a real New Yorker!

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.

Also a valid choice, Tom!

What a mix of specific and vague!

As opposed to love is in your future? Or as is “open your presents one of them is love”?

After it poured all day yesterday it’s finally sunny here again (one day only!) so happy Christmas miracle to that.

Feel like I should do something to feel more christmassy but not sure what.

Ooh! I just realized that I’ve been so wrapped up in heated Rivalry that I forgot Christmas also means Yuletide! To the fanfic mines!

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Lucked out with 2 days off. Really hoping for some snow or ice overnight so I can wfh tomorrow, but it’s not looking good.

Yesterday I cleaned and culled.

Today I lounged. Now knitting.

I’ll pick up the cleaning on the weekend again.
