It seems like every year I am waiting on December. I am gathering clues all year from my family and friends on what to give them for christmas. I tell myself I have time, plenty of time to buy things, to decorate, to cook, to plan the family dinner... and then BAM, out of seemingly nowhere, christmas is here.
My oldest sister and her husband & son flew down to Atlanta from Iowa to spend the first christmas with us ever. They stayed at our house which was a little worrisome since we only have one extra bedroom. It all worked out and everyone was comfy enough, even though my youngest and their son slept in the finished basement on xmas eve.
We had the big dinner on xmas eve at our other sister's house, with my mother in law in tow. Contrary to popular opinion, I adore my mother in law, and still adore my exhusband's mother. I have been very lucky.
So, in addition to having family in town, staying with me, along with my mother in law for the night, I was working for my coworker while she was visiting with her family in Tampa for two weeks. She couldn't have picked two better weeks to go than over xmas, hardly any calls, hardly any work!
I pretty much drank wine every day of break so much so that I had an allergic reaction to my favorite wine. After one glass of cabernet shiraz, my nose closed up, my skin was patchy red all over, my ear was so red it looked purple and I had to drive to Kroger for benadryl!! I NEVER drive after any drinks, but since I was the most sober (only one glass) I had to go. I couldn't open the damn package and had to get the cashier to open it for me to take in the store... then I had to take two more the next day. All was well and I have only had one more glass since that night. Maybe since I'm not drinking as much I'll lose a pound or two. I'm a total fat ass. No, really.
And with that thought I need to eat lunch. Ciao!
