I didn't do a Sunday update because not much happened last week. Not much exciting is happening this week either, so don't be surprised if there isn't one this Sunday either.
Screamin' fast internet. It's deep and it's real, man.
Yeah, I just remembered... Happy Christmas Eve. I'm making a loaded lasagna tomorrow. Loads of meat. Loads of cheese. Loads of sauce. A layer of Portobello mushrooms. Olives. I have to put a pan under it to keep it from dripping all over the bottom of the stove. It'll be pretty epic. Today, I need to make the sauce so it's ready for tomorrow build. ;o)
I bought a new day planner for 2025. They didn't have the kind I wanted, so I bought a different one. I don't like it, but I've already written in it, so I can't return it. Derp.
I'm trying to keep Christmas in my heart this week. The world is not making it easy. I won't go into the specifics here because I don't want to harsh anyone else's day. If you've been paying attention to the news, you'll know without my saying.
I sent my sister a birthday card back on the 6th. Last time we talked, she still hadn't received it. She did get the Christmas card I sent, which was mailed after the b-day card. The USPS is drunk.
The other day I saw two bald eagles flying circles around each other and then chasing each other. It was pretty awesome.
Yesterday, I made pecan raisin cinnamon rolls. They're so huge I had to use two pans - a 9x13" and a 9" round. I ended up with 19 rolls. Gah. Unfortunately, I did not put enough goo inside them, so they're pretty blah. Thank goodness I bought cream cheese frosting in a can so we can slather them up. Yum.
The Boyz already got their Christmas prezzies. I found a chicken and a pig - they're round and flat with some padding and crinkly stuff and a squeaker in each. They are each too cute for words. Anyway, the cats are mildly amused with them, but they aren't as much of a sensation as their ducks. :shrug: They'd rather chase baby crickets.
Speaking of which, for some reason, there's been a baby cricket hatch in the house. It's keeping the cats occupied. They both play with them but when the crickets are no longer fun (i.e. no longer moving), Finn is the only one who eats them. I guess Sawyer has different tastes.
Okay, I'm done. Go forth and have an awesome day. And if I don't see you tomorrow, have a very Merry Christmas. :HUGS:
Christmas Eve gift! (Yeah, it's a thing in the family.)
ReplyDeleteYay for Starlink! Yay for loaded lasagna! I'm glad I don't do dayplanners anymore. USPS is weird. Happy belated to sis. Yay for eagles. Sorry on the goo. Can never have too much goo in cinnamon rolls. Boyz will be boyz! LOL And yeah, the wide world is a dark and depressing place but in month, I'm hoping the sun will come out!
My roll dough is in the fridge. It rose. A bunch! I shall commence the making of rolls shortly. Hopefully, LG will feel up to delivering to the two neighbors we "share" with.
Little tree is up. I found ornaments and will commence to decorating after the making of rolls. Then the prezzies can go from the dining room table to the tree.
Tamales for dinner tonight.
The turkey is thawing nicely. I'll probably go ahead and make the pumpkin pie today.
Stockings are stuffed.
We got rain. Nice early Christmas present. We need more!
Not much else going on. I need/want more coffee. I'll be around at various times tomorrow but just in case, MERRY CHRISTMAS! May you have peace and joy now and in the new year to come!
