I hope y'all had a lovely Christmas and got all the goodies you were wanting.
You know those little cups you get with a bottle of cough syrup? I have a bunch of those, so I gave two to the cats. Apparently, best Christmas gift ever. Yes, I am a wee bit of a hoarder. Which is why I have a stack of like ten cough syrup cups in my medicine cabinet. Hey, if I think it could come in useful one day, I keep it. Lo and behold, these came in useful because they are now entertaining the cats. Those two disappear or get chewed, I'll throw them out and get two more. Tada.
My Christmas Lasagna turned out awesome. Layers of sauce, noodles, a ricotta/cottage cheese/parm mixture, a ground beef & pork mixture, Portobello mushrooms... All topped with mozzarella and baked to a golden brown. Mmmm. And it's even better as leftovers - which is good because we have a LOT of leftovers. Not your typical Christmas fare, but it worked for us.
Last night's Call the Midwife Christmas special was awesome. There's just something about that show that gives me a happy.
I know it's Thursday, but it feels like Monday.
We have this new-to-me channel - Blossom. It's a little bit eco-freako, but it has a couple good shows on it. One that I've become a little addicted to is Space Invaders. It's a cross between a renovation show and Hoarders. They take a family with a clutter problem, take all of their stuff to a warehouse and while the family is going through all their stuff to get rid of what they don't need, the show renovates their home to make it more livable. And it's all in Australia, which is cool for me, too. Another show that I can't quite remember the title of is about people building their dream homes in the country. In the UK. Also, cool.
Yes, I have a problem with frittering my time away on TV shows when I should be doing something productive. I need a self-intervention. Maybe I'll work on that for the next week and see if I can't start the New Year with a better attitude. That'd be good. Right?
Okay, enough about me. What's up with you?
Christmas was laid back and fun with family, good food, and easy clean up.
ReplyDeleteI got everything on my Christmas list. Yay. (There wasn't much and it was all needed.)
Yay for your lasgana. It sounds yummy! We had turkey sandwiches FTW!
I wish they'd do that hoarder/reno show here! I'd nominate the Kids. They need it. Bad!
I'm debating on when to take down the Christmas stuff. I'll probably give it a day or two because...lazy!
I'm working on my To-Do list for the new year. No resolutions but things I'd like to accomplish--no pressure. I'm too old for that sh!t. So far, two things on the list: Get a book out in January and sort/clean one area each day. Not like a room--just an area. Like last week, I hit the junk on top of my cedar chest and the stuff inside it. Not sure what's up next--dressing table, bathroom counter, bookcase(s) in office. We'll see.
Okay, time for another cup of coffee. Later, tater!
