The In-Between Time

Dec 27, 2013 08:59

So, the bacchanal known as Christmas is over, and the bacchanal known as New Year's Eve is on the horizon. I have no NYE plans other than staying home, having some snacks and maybe a glass or two of wine, and doing what I usually do - watch tv and play games on my computer/tablet. I actually prefer that. I don't have that much fun in social ( Read more... )

general blather, holiday

Isn't it fun to give a gift someone really enjoys? I think I like that better than getting stuff. Especially Don's mom's gifts. Unless I enthuse far more than my nature is comfortable with she's convinced I don't like it.

I love candlelight Christmas Eve services. What a wonderful time to join a church. All around sounds like a neat Christmas! :)

Oh, I really enjoyed as she opened each present in turn - first the charger (had no idea what the hell it was! LOL), then the cover, and her face started to light up when she realized what it was, and then the Paperwhite. Her face just beamed! It was so much fun! :-)

My sister-in-law almost started crying during the service where they were being taken into the church. It was really lovely.

I hope you're feeling much better very soon!

Thanks, I'm already feeling better. Just a bit of a tickle in my chest.

How spectacular that you were able to provide such a well appreciated present to your cousin!

I hope that you recover quickly.

Thanks, feeling better already. :-)

What a great story about your cousin.

Sending along healing vibes for that throat.

Thanks, feeling better, though night time will probably bring it back. Like a vampire. LOL

sounds like a really nice holiday. And that's a wonderful gift for your cousin

Thanks. I was showing her how to use it, and it's pretty hysterical. She's a total noob when it comes to electronic devices, and she acts like it'll shatter like spun sugar if she presses on the touch screen too hard. LOL

snort. I'm about to toss my new one into the wall

sp23 January 1 2014, 15:54:44 UTC

Now *that* would definitely break it. LOL
