Merry Christmas!
So today was pretty cool. I couldn’t help but keep thinking about how all the rain would be snow if it was like 15 degrees colder. I’m going to have move north for my white Christmas. one day. one day…
Anywho, I got to see the fam today. That was exciting as always. I absolutely love it when my little cousin Ruby uses words like “peculiar”. Both Ruby and Tony are precocious children and as my grandmother puts it “exuberant”. If only I could bottle their energy….
They’re adorable, and I thoroughly enjoyed playing space ship with them, even though all their Star Wars references meant nothing to me. Perhaps I should see those movies, so I can more comfortably fit in with the sci-fi nerd crowd. I mean if I go to Comic Con next year for work and I haven’t seen these movies… I’m afraid they may throw comics at me or something. I don’t know… It’s something I shall look into.
We had lunch at the Sun Dial restaurant at 12:30 today…. it’s now 9:14 and I’m still stuffed… I mention this because they had a huge HUGE gingerbread house in the lobby of the Westin. I was tempted, but I refrained.
My parents seemed to like their gifts that I got them. I’m always worried with my dad’s present after the re-gifting tie incident of ‘91, he loved his though and my mom really loved the stuff animal I made her so this year was a success.
Note to self- seriously weigh the options next year… making stuff animals… cute… but painful, time consuming, and involves blood loss…. (another not to self- don’t stick the pins in the pillow on the couch while sewing… could end badly when you forget where you put them.)
And since I know you’re dying to see the little guys I made, here’s the one I made for Andy’s mom. He’s skeptical. :)


Adorable, right? :)
