Oh. Its the calm before the storm here right now. Apparently the 'guests' are in the pub, pre-drinking, or 'Prinking' as I have heard it referred to. Facepalm.

4:22 pm

MollyL

Well, hide the good silver, put away anything you don't want to get puked on, grab the bottle of your choice and lock yourself in the Soodle boudoir

"Prinking" is too cutsie pie for what those people are doing to themselves.

6:55 pm

i bet crossy. how awful.

7:56 pm

stidmama

Gee whiz, Cross. You-all sure had your share.

7:56 pm

WTG STIDMAMA!!!

10:12 pm

stidmama

Oh my! 2 weeks' worth? You weren't ill, were you?

10:13 pm

grannyrose

lol....no, christmas intervened...

10:14 pm

grannyrose

have you had supper yet? and why was himself so delayed?

10:18 pm

stidmama

Yes, we had a lovely soup, and I think he went shopping in the store next door to the auto shop and didn't realize how much time was passsing...

10:19 pm

stidmama

Then we just had a very fine glass of red wine and we are watching "Bones" reruns on Netflix

10:19 pm

stidmama

three and a half hours to midnight here... still seeing the old year out. :-)

10:21 pm

grannyrose

nice, stiddy. i adore home-made chicken soup. i used to make it once/month for mil. she loved it. i used chicken wings, just about any vegs i could lay my hands on, pearl barley and lentils. when it was cooked, i would strip the skin off, discard, and strip the meat off and return to the soup. she said it was like a full meal in just one bowl.

10:22 pm

grannyrose

we are watching the new season of downton abbey. my chrissie pressie from himself.

10:23 pm

stidmama

I didn't have veggies in this one, because I was mostly making a clear broth for mole tomorrow (hispanic chocolate and chili sauce). But it was tasty!

10:24 pm

stidmama

:-) I remember you told me that was going to be your plan. Glad it's paying off.

10:27 pm

grannyrose

with all the ironing done, i don't feel so lazy sitting here chatting and watching tv.

10:30 pm

stidmama

good for you! I am cataloging a few more books that we found today - the ones I am taking to school are the ones that I am focusing on. Can worry about the ones I am keeping home later. :-)

10:35 pm

grannyrose

stiddy, how many boxes have you ferreted through so far?

10:37 pm

stidmama

Sorry, was finishing the catalog. :-)

10:38 pm

stidmama

This week, I have actually emptied about three boxes I think, Matthew got another few. I moved six or eight into the office because that is where the contents will go if I keep them, leaving only ten in the living room (and another 40 or so in the garage).

10:39 pm

grannyrose

yay, you are going great guns.

10:39 pm

stidmama

I also managed to sort through some of my clothes and get some order into the bathroom. :-)

10:40 pm

stidmama

I am going to slow down and pick a snail's pace soon... I don't want to overdo things. But I am glad to finally have some energy again. I think I was sick most of the last month even after I got over that lingering low-level virus.

10:40 pm

stidmama

I am half hoping I had a type of influenza so maybe I have that out of the way and don't have to go through a worse bout.

10:43 pm

grannyrose

my prayer also, stiddy.

10:44 pm

stidmama

:-D

10:45 pm

grannyrose

are you a devotee of downton abbey?

10:48 pm

stidmama

No, I haven't watched it more than a couple times. Pretty intense and it seems the storyline requires more regular viewing than I can devote.

10:58 pm

stidmama

I am going to head out... enjoy your Downton Abbey marathon! Happy New Year to your family. :-D *poof*

10:59 pm
