David, can you add my sister's gallstone, Pete, to the naughty list?

Done!

Grape war being shut down by repressive, Grinchy forces of parenthood.

D turned 8 today! There was sloppy joes and ake and presents and a really excited younger brother. And then T pretty much played his new DS game most of the day.

Finally got the boys to bed. My brother ate the glitter from the reindeer food (in his beer) because I said the reason for it was so reindeer could have festive glittery poop. This tells you a lot about my brother.

Just hoping the boys sleep in a little. T always gets up at the asscrack of dawn, but he stays in his room for a long while. He's not a morning person.

Looks like Birmingham might get some snow sunday. And Baltimore still has a slight risk. I am now more worried about this airport's ability to deal with flurries rather than Baltimore getting whomped.

Hec, DH gets moved to the nice list for helping stripping Olivia's bed. Owen threw up again.

We're running out of clean sheets.

We put Owen on the couch and DH was watching Casino Royale. Owen asked what movie it was and DH said, "a James Bond movie." Owen said, "Is it Sean Connery James Bond?"

I don't know. He had weeks to get you a present.

OMG according to the website, there are 2500 stories in the Yuletide collection this year. Wow. That's a lot of stories.

I'll nominate Beth to the nice list.....although naughty might offer a greater range of options.

Merry Happy to all!

He sent me out to get the iTouch I wanted. I don't trust him to buy tech, anyway. I'll give him a pass.

although naughty might offer a greater range of options.

I've found my presents get better when I've been naughty.

It's after midnight, so Merry Christmas, my Buffistas!

We did festivities with my family today (lunch and The Excessively Generous Presents* with my Dad, and dinner and Too Much Wine with my mom and stepdad). Came home to find the dalmatian peed in the kitchen (which was a nice change from her usual pooping in the kitchen), washed the dishes, and made an apple crisp for tomorrow.

Tim is, for some reason, shoveling the driveway right now. Maybe he's expecting Santa to stroll up the driveway?

Also, I may barf. That's literal, not a metaphor. Don't know the genesis of the quease (although perhaps the Too Much Wine referenced above might be the culprit), but nothing is alleviating it. That's disconcerting.

*(One of the Christmas presents my dad got us is the DVD of Despicable Me, which we haven't seen yet. I made gleeful noises when I opened it.)

Just Bob and me and Kripkat and Avon at the casa. Making puttanesca for dinner (but I'm going to use the noodles Bob brought from Italy. It's a celebration!) Watched Easy A. Not sure about Rite Aid on the nice list now, since their medicine was not as good as mucinex (no wonder it was half price!) HOWEVER earlier in the week we left a Santa hat lying on the couch and the cats have been alternately snuggling with it. SANTA CLAWS. ADORABLE.

Kids' Christmas Production went well. mac and I had a screaming fight beforehand, but got there on time and he did his lines great.

played some games with mac, brother, brother bf and had snacky food. Friend came by with presents (I need to get stuff for her kids) and she hung for a bit. Now stockings are done and I should go to bed, well, I should really knit more on my mom's thing. I suck.

I know I am forgetting some presents that I have stashed somewhere. hate that.

Love y'all, you are my sounding board and my sanity. Merry Christmas, Happy Winter, Celebratory end to another year together.
