so this was Christmas

I hope everybody else's Christmas was as great as mine. We decided to try deep frying the turkey this year, and that turned out *really* well and will more than likely be our default turkey method in years to come. It's nice that Dad gets to be in charge of the main dish, freeing us up to cook more than five substantial side dishes in the kitchen ( Read more... )

personal, christmas

Sounds like your Christmas was as cool as mine. Heh, I got a Scene It game too, but mine was Disney. Although, I played it twice (with James, Brea, Mom and Zach) and won both times, so I'm happy.

Also, love your new shelf, especially Mal and Jayne. (And, btw, nice flowers. *g*)

That's cool. Someday one of us will have to get the TV version, methinks. Does the Disney one ask about mostly animated movies or what?

Ha, isn't it funny that I still have those flowers? And I still like the colors. I was thinking the other day I need more fake flowers in my room. Why not, you know? Bunch of daisies in the corner by the bed...that'd be cool.

Yeah, my only problem with Jayne and Mal is that every time I take them down to mess with them, it takes a few minutes to get them to stand up like that again. And they can't hold very many of their guns at one time. Also, the Reaver bends at like 4 places more than them! So not fair. But they're still awesome. lol

I saw the first couple of eps of Long Way Round but then the holiday period happened and I missed them. It looked fun. I pretty much only saw up to the point where they drove off to start their big adventure, though. Heh.

And I'm glad you liked your presents! I was *supposed* to get you Movies in 15 Minutes. I have it ordered, in fact. But there are dark forces at work between wherever the books currently are and our country because they *still* haven't arrived. It's all very odd and cleolinda's trying to find out what's going on but *shrug*. I figured an Elvis/JR coffee mug was as good a substitute as any. *g ( ... )

Aw, it's sweet that you tried to get me M15M, anyway. And I think you impressed me enough with the oh-so pretty wrapping, for serious. The book might have made me feel forever inadequate.

Okay, so we did the dorkiest thing tonight, because it was Australian night at my house... we watched Kangaroo Jack (which I secretly love; okay, not so secretly) and I translated phrases from the book of Aussie Slang. I brought out the Aussie goodies (not the Vegemite, which I haven't felt brave enough to try just yet) for the kids--they all raved the most over the Illawarra plum hard candies, actually. And there was Australian coffee drinking. You're going to have me hooked on the stuff and now I won't be able to get more. Hee.

Also, dude, yes, you *do* have healthier junk food. I swear. Our government subsidizes the corn industry, which somehow adds up to puting hydrogenated oils in *everything*. So...defend away. *g*

Right, Thunderstruck--just added it to my Netflix queue (which, it must be said, is incredibly long, and I never seem to get it ( ... )
