Wednesday Night

[nightdog_barks]

So. The roasted duck was delicious. warmdarkwoman, the sparkler we ended up getting was the 2005 Domaine Carneros/Taittinger. We went to Domaine Carneros in Napa Valley a couple of years ago and it was one of the best winery experiences we've ever had -- their sparkling wine is very, very good and, at about $25, a really decent buy.

Moved all the deck plants back outside and watered (and Chango helped). Mr. N raked leaves off the deck (and Chango helped). I twisted my ankle just a bit (surprisingly enough, Chango did not help).

A nice quiet night. The happiest and most peaceful of holidays to all who are celebrating this season. Sláinte.

Thank you for the e-card! And happy holidays to you, too!!

Yay! You got it! *g*

*hugs*

Indeedy I did. :)

And I am, surprisingly enough, online for a little bit tonight--we're at home for the first time since we've been married!--and I'm back to have a little me-time before bed. The Mr hasn't been feeling so great, so he's sleeping. I had expected it to be rather quiet on the f-list tonight. *hugs*

It's actually been pretty quiet most of the day, and tonight it's really fallen off.

Did Z have a good day? Do you guys open presents tonight or tomorrow morning?

Z had a very good day--a good nap, and she was her very cheerful self. She has finally started saying no, only she says it 'No, no, no," with kind of a descending pitch and it sounds terribly polite and is hilariously cute.

We will open presents tomorrow morning--I finished wrapping the last of them tonight after Z went to bed. And it's been a relatively quiet day here, too--I went grocery shopping, which probably shouldn't have waited, and managed to put up valances in the guest room, so that's all cozy(er).

But the Mr. was complaining a little because it wasn't like our Christmas Eve was special--we didn't do anything much different from a normal Wednesday night, and we ended up eating chickpea tuna salad because we both forgot, when making the grocery list, to plan a meal for tonight, so we had a fridge full of food we couldn't eat. Heh.

Whatever. I feel like I had a great Christmas Eve. :) (It was snowing the most perfect picturesque snow this morning when we woke up. A pain to drive in, but it was beautiful.)

Greetings!

I'm home from the Greyhound Christmas Eve gathering, which was quite nice, and am now settling in with a cup of hot minty decaf tea and slowly re-warming self after the drive.

Someone sent me a lovely box full of oranges, honey, and cookies! And a little plushie bee!

*grins*

So I get to have Florida oranges on Christmas morning, and that? Is really, really smile-making.

Happy holidays!

I am brewing minty tea, also--it will be ready right about the time I'm finished with my Bailey's ice cream. :)

OH OH OH YOU KNOW WHAT?

They had a 5 lb. box of clementines on sale today at the store, and usually I pass them by because they're $$, but today they were $5.98, which I went \o/! and I bought them. And I ate one tonight, and it was delicious.

[nightdog-barks.livejournal.com]

Ha! Clementines are AWESOME fruit. Tiny little tangerines of pure goodness.

And it peeled so easily! So wonderful!

(I don't eat the regular navel oranges we get, because they are SUCH a pain in the ass to peel. But these were awesome, and I have a feeling if the Mr wants any he's going to have to get moving on eating his share...)

[nightdog-barks.livejournal.com]

Heh. I forgot the box included a plushie bee. That's actually what drew my attention to the illustration in the catalog -- this silly, cute bee grinning out at me.

I'll make this a tradition -- every Christmas, you get Florida oranges. *g*

EEEE PLUSHIE BEEEEEEEEE

[blackmare-9.livejournal.com]

Hee! Yeah, I have a feeling the little bee may end up as an LJ icon before too long.

*HUGS*

I am slowly getting myself all wrapped up in warm fuzziness for the night. Need to get into PJ top and robe; already have PJ pants and two pair of thick socks on. The last time/temp sign I saw on my way home read -2, which explains a lot. :-)

Missing my family right now, but other than that I'm doing fine. Kelly is bound and determined to start teaching me to ski and/or snowboard tomorrow afternoon, so no matter what else happens, I know I'll have a Christmas to remember!

*WARM FUZZY HUGS*

*scribbles name of bubbles* Thanks for letting me know. I sctually have a bottle of prosecco in the fridge I've been meaning to kill soon. Maybe New Years' Eve?

Peace be with everyone. No exceptions.

[nightdog-barks.livejournal.com]

Prosecco, if I recall, is slightly sweet? That sounds nice for New Year's Eve.

And yes. Peace.

See Chango knows when to lay low :). Hope your ankle is feeling better. It is very cold here and the wind is whipping the storm windows even more violently than they usually are.

Happy Christmas/Holidays! I hope you're having a wonderful day :D
