Hi there! Walter is enjoying his M&M cookies and pepernoten Santa somehow knew he'd like, has practiced on his new real guitar and tried out the looping car track, checked out the card game and is looking forward to his new Jip and Janneke book. The venison stew is in the Dutch oven and the honey-lavendar cheesecake is chilled. Polar express has been watched. So i have a few minutes to enjoy your company and glaring for the 20 words I don't believe exist before I try to sit down with MY new book. Merry Midwinter Holiday, all!

we're having real lChristmas tomorrow, today was spending driving back and forth to my gran;s house for dinner with her!

6:31 pm

Trifioso

I don't know if car told you, but we got my mom and my sister to watch us play earlier today, and we did sign my mom up, but I am not sure she was really in to it. Phae was here then, and she was lovely and helpful in illustrating hints and such for my mom.

6:32 pm

Trifioso

you will never regret the time you spent with her, ata...

oh I know, I adore my gran 100 million times over, but we still spent most of the day on the motorways, so christmas continues tomorrow :)

6:34 pm

Trifioso

yes, all that driving is poopy

6:34 pm

lexleeanne

hopw you had Great and peaceful Christmases

6:34 pm

Trifioso

eh

6:34 pm

Trifioso

i suppose considering what could have happened, it was okay

6:35 pm

Atalante

good Trif!

6:35 pm

Atalante

see, all things are possible however nightmarish they appear to be!

6:36 pm

Trifioso

the only part that really chaps my a3 is that he left dinner at my mom's without saying thank you to her. the LEAST he could have done is say a decent thank you for being included, after his behaviour this year.

6:36 pm

Atalante

did you expect any better?

6:36 pm

Trifioso

actually, yes. he is known for being formal and unerringly polite. the fact that he said nothing is a pretty big statement. just not sure of what

6:37 pm

Atalante

well tell him then, if you get a chance. that's just rude.

6:37 pm

Trifioso

i did. he claimed all innocence, and then got mad at me for bringing it up. toooooooooooooooool

6:37 pm

Atalante

you can at least say "oh we didn't get your thank you card *cough cough* *glare*"

6:38 pm

Atalante

idiot

6:38 pm

Trifioso

whatever. i am so DONE with him right now.

6:39 pm

Trifioso

okay, now the nice thing of the day - my dd (age 12) gave me an angel hanging from a ribbon covered with music notes. on the ribbon she wrote "you are the music in us." KEEPER

6:40 pm

Atalante

awwwwww!

6:43 pm

Trifioso

ack. I helped my mom find the y word at her house, and now I forget what it is....calling in the monkeys

Trifioso

thanks ata! btw, did the weather hold for you today?

6:45 pm

Atalante

just about, we got a quick walk on the beach and an *amazing* sunset

6:47 pm

stidgmere

We have just had a gingerbread dessert and/or sugar cookies with Stidmama and family. A very peaceful way to finish our Christmas. Sometimes ones company is a balm. Yesterday on the snowy roads we drove on the better side--it was just like driving in England except the steering wheel was on the left of the car.

6:47 pm

Trifioso

wow, that sounds lovely! i should have realized you lived near the shore, due to the seagull photo, but i never put it together

6:48 pm

Atalante

yep, about 5 mins drive

6:48 pm

Atalante

oh lovely stidgmere!

6:49 pm

stidgmere

We live near the shore, too. Today it was mostly shades of gray and white.

6:50 pm

Trifioso

i love living where i do for just that reason - the variety. we can be at the beach in 15, the city in 30, the mountains in 60, and my house is in the woods. it's a great spot. a bit too chilly for me, in a year, but just so great

6:50 pm

stidgmere

East, west, home's best.

6:51 pm

Atalante

ok. I must sleep. I'm done in. its nearly 1am. have a wonderful rest of christmas day!

Hi Sista! I

7:12 pm

Trifioso

hello dear one! i only have 13 words left, and haven't used the list yet!!!

7:13 pm

Trifioso

car left JUST as I signed on = bummer!

7:14 pm

kadresa

Hey...Mom just called and found the picture...hanging on the wall going up to your old bedroom. At least she found it. Now she's telling Gary that she will have to call Comcast tomorrow cus she used the wrong remote to shut off the TV and now it won't turn on. It's very depressing. This may be something we all have to talk about seriously in the very near future.

7:15 pm

Trifioso

wow. yes, I guess so. She can come live here, if she could handle the change of scenery

7:17 pm

Trifioso

i wish she would at least try to babble. the brain stim would be very good for her

7:17 pm

kadresa

Could you handle the stress????? The confusion??? It's just very apparent this past week that she really gets rattled so easily in an unrealistic way...like someone threw the picture away...like that was an actual possibility.

7:17 pm

Trifioso

i would certainly give it a go. at the rate our husbands are running, me, carole, the boys and mom will all be here soon

7:19 pm

kadresa

truly, she's not there yet, but it's looming on the horizon. I just don't want her to be in a situation (like the one you described while she was driving with you) and have it go horribly wrong. It would be better for her to feel that she was choosing to make a move rather than having a situation facilitate an immediate change in her living arrangements.

7:21 pm

Trifioso

ummmm - we should save this for the phone. watch, this will be the ONE TIME she decides to give babble a go

7:21 pm

kadresa

btw...what was the clue on the other "g" word (not the word that's like something you chew.

7:21 pm
