Merry Christmas!!!
HUGE CONGRATULATIONS TO ANN!!!! Was the wedding a surprise to all except your core family? What a wonderful day to formalize the new chapter in your lives together!!!!
Christmas Eve is my family time. Today will be spent with Ron's family. BIL has specific food requests from me, so I wlll be making a zesty carrot dish (Ron's stepmom's recipe with some tweaking...) and of all things, mashed potatoes. Ron's sisters seem to be mashed potato challenged. Who makes mashed potatoes using a recipe????? LOL
LOVED having my dad over last night. He was more on than off. I was hoping my mom's special holiday dessert might trigger some memories, but it did not for him. But he did love it! BFF is still really having a hard time dealing with his irregular heart beat and needs answers. His worry is clearly affecting his mood.
214.9... So a little Christmas gift - a lower number in the ones' place (even if it is only a tenth of a pound down).
Wishing you all a wonderful day!
What exciting news! You did a good job of keeping the plans a secret!

They are ensconced and incubating at their end of the house with the space heaters running and the football on!
142.6, up just over a pound. Probably need a good poop! Lol!
Lazy day with the boys today. They wanted a "big" Mom made breakfast so I made waffles and bacon. DH thought it was a Christmas miracle. We never have breakfast meats!
Tonight we are having poke bowls (sushi) for dinner. All of the boys love it!
Time to decorate the remaining Christmas cookies and later we will play some games!
Hope you are all enjoying your celebrations!

Merry Christmas all!
I am still lounging and drinking coffee but must get cooking soon. DH and I exchanged gifts earlier. I received a new crock pot as our previous one has a broken lid handle and made it hard to use without getting burned. Also got special scissors that I can use with my gimpy hands. These might have seemed like crappy gifts at an earlier time in life but these days they are much appreciated and thoughtful.
Liz all your activities make my head spin! Glad you are having fun'
Ann what a lovely time to have your wedding. You will never forget anniversary! Enjoy the day.
Ditto CC. Christmas movies all day. Bet your Dad wants that football game.
We watched "spirited" last night. Will Ferrell Christmas movie based loosely on Dickens. Not bad.
Time to go make cheese crisps and waldorf. Then we will pack a load of stuff and schlepp over to our friends for the strange Christmas gathering.
Much cheer to all.

Merry Christmas all!
I made a yummy Ina Garten breakfast casserole and hash brown cups. Super delicious and set off my heartburn... Ah, life ever in balance.
Christmas gifts were well received I think. Shouldn't have worried. I've watched A Christmas Story and Christmas Vacation and now moved on to British Bake Off Christmas.
Time to think about dinner planning and timing... dog walk later.
Hope everyone has a wonderful day!
Merry Christmas! I know you're all busy with family gatherings. DH (first time I've been able to say that about my beloved) and I are still in and out of bed, about to watch the Chiefs/Steelers game.
As most of you have seen on Facebook, we got married yesterday! We're tickled as can be. And that's all the news that's fit to print. :)
I found my scales yesterday morning (weighed 127), but strategically decided NOT to weigh this morning. I seldom do that, but the number of cookies and chocolate candies and amount of salmon mousse that have gone into my mouth over the last few days is staggering. Christmas leftovers are hard to throw away!
Let's take it easy today and treat those we love and ourselves. Tomorrow we can clean up the house.
