Merry Christmas


We had a really great Christmas Day. I started the day with a long and fervent prayer of thanksgiving and prayer for a joyful day. He totally delivered. 


We only had one near meltdown when Sis1 and Emmy had a tussle over a Kindle that BIL wrapped and told them to fight it out. It's kind of a long story as to why he did it that way and this tiny iPhone keyboard is too tiresome to get into it. But anyway, Sis1 won and Emmy nearly cried and then there was almost an argument. 


But other than that, it was a good morning of gifts, family breakfast and fun. 


Sis2's family came later on and we had gifts again. The littles wracked up. It was chaos but in a happy way. 



We headed up to Granny's around noon for the big family meal. I didn't think I ate that much but I was (and am still) pretty miserable. But it was a good visit and the kids had fun. 


Then we all headed back to the folk's house for a little Christmas winddown. By that point, the kids were starting to fade. Efan's been a little sick and his meds make him a little...off? Haha


Bless his heart. ;-)

We all finally headed to our respective homes around 8pm and Libs and I are now snuggled on the recliner and Sis1 is snuggled on the couch watching a Hallmark Christmas movie. Tired but happy. 

I hope everyone else has had a truly great Christmas!! Love and joy to you all!!

Love the pic of the kids in front fo the tree. The top one of Libs would have made a great 2014 Christmas card -- if not for the bags of garbage in the background, lol. Glad you enjoyed a good Christmas!

I'm Lost

Boy.  Last night was the most intense 2.5 hours of my LIFE. Well, the part of my life that I relegate to television viewing, anyway. Last night, as you may have heard, was THE END for LOST. If you haven't been watching it for the past six years, what were you doing with your life? LOL No, I know. It was one of those things you were either fully emersed in or you didn't want to expend the energy it took to follow it. Because it did take a lot of energy to follow it. And as much as I was held captivated by it, I am really too stupid to really full grasp it. No, seriously. I've read the discussion boards. I've followed other blogs about it. And I'd always be like, "Why didn't I catch that?" or "I completly missed that." My brain is merely too simple to comprehend all the little mysteries and tie-ins and connections that were hidden throughout six seasons of this show. It was no different last night. Honestly, the finale was gripping an...

Me and the boob tube

Ever met someone who is passionate about her TV shows? Well, if not, you have now. Yeah, I'm probably fairly sad with how involved I become with some shows but believe me...I know some folks who are a LOT worse than me. Just trust me on this. I have maybe a handful of shows that I watch without fail whenever they're on and set my VCR to tape if I'm out. (Yeah, I still have a VCR...and I will until they no longer make 'em) Monday night is Medium night. Tuesday night is BB6 in the summer Charmed on TNT in fall. Wednesday is Lost and Alias (in regular season anyway) Thursday night is BB6 in summer and Will and Grace in fall. Friday night sucks since they cancelled Joan of Arcadia. Saturday night is BB6 in summer and Trading Spaces. Sunday night is Desperate Housewives and The 4400 in summer. Everyday things are Gilmore Girls on ABC Family, 30 Minute Meals on Food Network and Bold and the Beautiful. Last night, of course, was BB6. Now, I'm not one to enjoy many reality ...

Ten Things That Make Me Happy Today

Image
1.) Chuck . Chuck makes me very happy. I'm still flying high from the time I spent with him last night. Seriously, it's like the second Zachary Levi walks on screen and gives that trademark smile my heart goes all gooey in my chest and my lips curve up all dreamy smile-ish and for that one hour each Monday night I'm on cloud nine. Pitiful, no? 2.) Her. 'Nuff said. 3.) My friends. All of 'em. Ms. B who I only get to see once a month and chat on the phone every few weeks. E who talks me into field trips to Starbucks so that we can blame each other for being bad. Trix who hated the way Medium ended, too. (And always sends me the awesomest handmade cards.) BFF who calls once a month to update me on the ever shifting drama of her life. (She's doing much better, by the way. Goes back to work next week.) Jen who  once--in a round about way--compared me to the awesome Pioneer Woman. (And who's love story to her fireman still gives me hope that true love real...
