Saturday at the office. Only 4 full days for the rest of the year so catching and cleaning up!

C19 arrives and decorating tree tonight! Did well but dropped a class without discussing matter with me!

Good morning, peeps. It's been a humdinger already.

The wicked, evil boss has tendered her official resignation. There is a Santa Claus!

Yay for holiday miracles!

Feeling on the mend. Having an interesting text romance with a gentleman who may or may not exist in real life (TBD).

And now, getting ready for the year-end blast of contracts that have to be signed by the 31st so that the vendors can book the revenue.

Ho ho ho!

The oven caught on fire.

All I did was turn on the self-clean function. The house filled with smoke. Fire department checked it out, now Hubby's at home, waiting for the Sears repair man to come out and assess the damage. I retreated to the office.

That is all.

Did you forget to take the sweaters and shoes out again?

[Bluemoon]

You know what? Once I hid some pots and pans in there and I DID forget they were in there and turned on the oven. Not this time though. I roasted a chicken in there Saturday night and grease splattered all over the walls, so that prompted my "Let's clean the oven before Christmas" efforts.

Moral of the story: NEVER CLEAN ANYTHING. No good can come from it.

Wow that is bizarre! I do not need to clean the oven but will now clean with a rag!

Busy weekend. C19 and mother and brother in law have arrived. Bears are awful! Nice time regardless with the kids at the game.

I thought perhaps there was some extra cake hidden in there.

I am glad all are OK.

I see a last minute order to Gelson's in Mooney's future!

"Moral of the story: NEVER CLEAN ANYTHING. No good can come from it."

I have been saying that for years!

J2 is somewhere feeling a disturbance in the force.

It'll be good for him.

Y - funny!

Mrs Brd does most cleaning but does not clean fridge or inside of oven!

Just changing the subject line.

We all need a Funday!

Need to find some Sorel boots for C21. DSW had none in her size.

That reminds me - Moonchild wants new Uggs, Ugg is a good word for them.

Home now. All is well, though a bit smoky and smelly. Got all the windows open and fans running. I'll boil some mulling spices later today to replace the scent.

I burned some toast and I could smell it for days!

What are you cooking for Christmas?

[gettinhep]

Posted: 12/22/14 at 3:03pm

Our Christmas dinner is being prepared by others! Next year it Is our turn again. I'm already thinking about the menu!

We finished our Christmas shopping a few days ago, but venturing downtown Monday I really despair of the lack of manners these days. Oh, they kill their own if they spot a perceived bargain. People, people, please remember that the words 'excuse me' are still a part of the lexicon. So, use them!

There is a lack of civility in many places these days. Especially on mass transit!

[gettinhep]

Posted: 12/22/14 at 3:28pm

You are right there, Brd!

[Bluemoon]

Posted: 12/22/14 at 3:29pm

I'm from D.C. We lost our civility decades ago. Sad but true.

We're having a honey baked ham - less time in the kitchen for me. I'll make the pies tomorrow and the sides the next day. Moonchild will be here, so the meal will have to be gluten-free and dairy-free. How did she survive childhood?

[brdlwyr]

Posted: 12/22/14 at 4:51pm

We have one "vegan" one vegatarian and one meat and dairy free but eats fish. Complicated menus on a daily basis.

I believe that all shopping is finished except for Mrs. Brd.

We are having roast beef or tenderloin and some vegan dish from Native Foods, potatoes vegs, etc. Mince pies, Christmas pudding and apple pie for dessert.

As we are in Summer at Christmas, we Aussies are known to have less traditional fare alongside the roast bird, plum pudding etc. Last time we did Christmas we invited our Scottish cousins. Alas, they don't eat seafood, so the seafood platter in all it's glory was out. We gave them individual herb roasted spatchcock, asparagus, stuffed mushrooms, ginger roast pumpkin, the traditional plum pudding and tropical fruit salad.

In other words, a bottom.
