I'm at my in-laws-in-law's place, and they're making roast beef. (And ham. And scallops. And macaroni and cheese. And salad. And sweet potatoes. And my rice stuffing, cooked by my son. And brussels sprouts. And probably several other things I'm forgetting.)
Merry Secular Holiday, and I hope none of your gifts exploded unless you wanted them to!
Xmas Day was fine, and I got several presents from my "lost in the flood" wishlist. On Boxing Day, I got to drive home through heavy snow and vicious winds, which became equally heavy rain and winds as I got closer to the coastline. A trip that normally takes about 6 hours took more than 10. And the rain and wind are still continuing here, with the addition of thunder and hail. The heavy weather disclosed some water leaks on the northeastern wall of the house, which will have to be repaired before they proceed with the rest of the renovations.
I was very sorry to hear about Deb's friend; the news was a bit garbled at first, and I was worried about you. Let's all try as hard as we can to make sure that 2013 isn't yet another year that we'll be glad to seee the end of!
I picked up a turkey yesterday and the only ones they had left were pre-cooked. When I took it it out of the bag I was a little frightened. Minus the head, it looked almost identical to the photo you posted.
I hate this time of year. Yesterday I had my backpack stolen with my wallet and beloved buck knife and ID in it. I am sitting here in the dark with a large bottle of wodkah waiting for the fucker that stole it to use the KEYS that were in my backpack to steal my xmess gifts if I had any. All they are getting is an xmess *thok* with a 40 pounder of wod on the top of the head.
Damn it, that's not good, sweetheart. I hope you get a good skull-crushing whack at him. I would hope you get your wallet back too but I suppose that's unlikely.
As it turned out, I left it at the Elks Club after playing beer pong all night. I had neither been to an Elks Club before nor played beer pong before so that may or may not explain anything. I did get the back pack back with everything but the cash in it. That didn't bother me that much, as I considered it a 'stoopid tax'.
