Miscellany

Saturday, December 26, 2009
Well, Christmas Day is over, although it doesn't really feel like it. We haven't opened our presents yet, since our new tradition is that we do so after our annual New Year's Biscuits and Gravy breakfast and present-palooza. So I have another week before I get to the LOOT. Since I already got my big gift from the Smart Man, it's not that big of a deal.

I actually went to Weight Watchers this morning, and discovered that yes, I had in fact gained some weight over the last week. SHOCKING (not). I've been eating foods that aren't really conducive to weight loss, so I'll just count my lucky stars that I only gained back what I had lost the previous week. I'm back to counting points today, and hope to end the year with achieving my short term goal of 35 pounds lost in 2009, thus leaving me 30 pounds as my goal for 2010. At least I actually got up and went to the meeting. Given today's weather, I would have preferred to just stay home.

I've started knitting for the 2010 Excelsior House donation (see how I'm not waiting until the last minute this time?). So far I have one hat and half a scarf. Woohoo.

In other news, my Hot Sister, who you might remember is a techno-phobe, has recently joined the 21st century and started using text messaging on her cell phone. Of course I've been teasing her about it. Her response? "Humph." Then she yelled at the neighborhood kids to get off her lawn.

Today me, the Smart Man, the Incomparable Anne™, and possibly her folks are going to see Avatar. Most of the things I've heard about this movie have been positive, so we're looking forward to it. Then it's home for some yummy, yummy Chicken and Dumplings.

Have a good Saturday!

Happy Boxing Day! Mmm... Avatar. Maybe I'll take the teen boy (and girl!) squad to see that this evening in Ocean Shores. :) Enjoy!

Waitung for presents? That would require... patience. Some which I can fake when required. So I have all my presents - mostly DVDs and music, making working a wished-for low priority.

I'm going to see Sherlock Holmes then Avatar. I;m cramming in as much fun as possible before the workload truly comes back.

We're also doing Christmas next week. Presents have all been delivered by various means and are awaiting sorting & wrapping. My job come Monday night when I get in.

Late festivities were better for everyone's travel schedule this coming week instead of last week before the 24th. Considering the weather, was probably a good thing.

Plans for me to do a movie any time in this four day weekend were foiled by massive ticket sell-outs for all things Avatar. Sigh. I suspect it will still be here when I get back.
