What's everybody doing today?

[sonya123]

still baking cookies , on the third and last type now. I just made a half a batch of each so we don't eat SO much sweet stuff. Also baked a sweet potato pie ( that is my personal favorite pie)
Going to take dog for a hike in a little bit here, need to sit and take a break for a bit
Oh, talked to my good friend in Florida, she is currently trying to sell a property she has inherited for over a million $, wow.
Emailed with my best friend in Germany, she doesn't like Christmas because her husband died a few days before Christmas 3 years ago.
Debating if I should call my brother to wish him happy holidays or wait until tomorrow or wait until he calls me. I think I will call tomorrow maybe

Putting my feet up now for a bit. Our dinner tonight is cooking (prime rib, fresh gr beans, corn casserole, baked potato). Needed to start tomorrow's dinner...made the stuffing, cranberry sauce, deviled eggs, and 2 chocolate cream pies. Brought up all the pickles olives peppers from the basement, too. A neighbor just popped in while going for a walk and brought some egg cartons and caught up. Son and gf are resting.

Finally got a minute to make squash soup. Looks like close 7 gal.

Our Christmas dinner will be on the 30th. Our son and DIL work the ER over the holidays because they don't have kids and the others do.

Opened the bottle of Kavanagh's Irish Cream. Salesperson in the liquor store talked me into it over Baileys.

It's very good, certainly the equal to Baileys. But it's been a year since I last had Bailey's, so it's hard to compare.

So I'll be cooking dinner buzzed ... the only way to cook!!!

Been down sick again. Hives and fever, no idea what's going on. Better today. Hit a rough patch, Daughter just lost her job. So not a lot of Christmas cheer around here. Just glad she's here with me for a while.
Planning to go to the late service tonight to celebrate Christ's birth. No tree, no presents, but we're together and will concentrate on what's important.

Just got home from grocery shopping and the feed store. It was a quick 10 hour trip. It was 47 degs and raining when we left the feed sore. When we were about 5 miles from home the rain turned to snow. It's still snowing.

I went to the chiropractor today, got my neck and my hip put back where they belong. And I sent kiddo off to his grandpa's so I could wrap presents. Ran a couple errands while I was in town and I'm getting ready for an upcoming trip. Youngest insisted we make Santa some cookies, so this kid is having peanut butter cookies for dinner. He was looking out the window for Santa a few minutes ago and spotted Starlink flying over... yep kid, thats totally Santa! Pretty magical evening for a 5 year old.

so sorry, glad your coworker helped you out. Can't imagine being stuck miles from home in the middle of the night with broken vehicle. That sucks bad. Hope it can be fixed. We have 4 old vehicles including son's, it could happen to us any time. Drove the yukon to the store yesterday and husband stayed in it and we left it running so we wouldn't be stuck there if it didn't start again . It made it back home

It is a drag..but it could have been worse for sure. It was clear..very little snow on the ground, only a few miles from home and it wasn't storming...
I suppose while it is a bummer..I got lucky because like you said..it can happen anytime and I'm so glad it didn't happen in that canyon.

 

[Hooch]

I'm in bed early..yesterday didn't end untill 4 am today. Then I was up frazzled n bummbed and wasn't able to get organized or productive on a few hours sleep..so I grabbed the pups, loaded them in the truck n went for a long walk to clear my head n let the pups run.
Got stuff together for the dinner party at my buddies down the road. 7 of us tonight. I wasn't really into hanging out alot but I'm glad I went for a few. The food was great ..
Tomorrow I have a few things I want to accomplish but otherwise start a new rug , get the stove going and stay warm.

Merry Christmas everyone!

Enjoying my day off! We are grilling steaks later, making an omelette for breakfast! Spending time with the critters and definitely napping!!

 

[RJ2019]

I was woke by the littlest guy, he felt the need to come in my room and wake me up to tell me Santa bad come. Bro, it's 3:09 am...go back to bed!

 

[Magus]

I just woke up, I got no plans. Probably get baked and play games.

 

[sonya123]

Merry Christmas to all that celebrate! Hope everyone has a great day

About to put a turkey in the oven and go take care of the animals.
Not much else planned today, we will probably play games too this afternoon

 

[Amish Heart]

Everyone still asleep here...we stayed up much too late, so I got the fire started and the coffee made. It's after 7 am...
Even the dog has gone back to sleep on the couch.
We'll open presents and have breakfast and do the animal chores hopefully before noon. Ha. I have a turkey to cook, and we'll eat a bit of an earlier supper with cousins Bob and Wanda coming, too.

 

[Tommyice]

Merry Christmas online family!

Been puttering around since 7 when the dog woke me up. Stayed over at dad’s last night. Right now he’s questioning why the fires I build in the wood stove don’t look like the one on the tv Yule Log. LOL

Kim make turkey croquettes. Hoping he has an easy time eating them.

 

[snappy1]

Merry Christmas and yes, I will walk first this morning.
Walk dogs.
Make the cookie dough that didn't get made, yesterday.
Take down the Christmas tree in the office.

Merry Christmas all. We got about 4 inches of new snow over night, and clear sky's this morning. Yesterday the lumber yard dropped off some roofing shingles and 1×12's in town for me. They couldn't make it up our road. I'll go down later today and bring it home. Tracker liked his new toy that Santa left for him.
