Christmas
Had a really nice Christmas this year. Started off nice and quiet and I got to sleep in until about 11am.
Our guests got here around 4pm. Rich, Kim, Luca & Sofia (from 1A); Greg & Robin (from 1B); Ian & Laurie (from 1G); and Jane (from 2G). Tony made a Turkey breast, honey split ham, green beans, rolls, mustard greens, corn on the cob, salad & mashed potatoes (Apple pie for dessert). Kim brought Green bean casserole, Yams, pumpkin pie, wine and cupcakes. Jane brought cupcakes and wine. Ian & Laurie brought beer & tequila. We all had a great dinner and a couple of drinks, and while everyone chatted after dinner (and snacked of course), I cleaned up all the dishes and everything.
We split up the leftovers between the neighbors as they left (around 9:30pm); then Tony took a plate over to Edith while I finished straightening up and rearranging the furniture. I went to bed to try to sleep (Tony came in about 11 or so and fell fast asleep on the couch) but tossed and turned, so I did some work and then finally took an ambien at about 2:30am to get some rest--which worked because I slept solid until about 6am, then got up a couple times (to eat and relieve myself) but kept falling back to sleep until about 10am when I got up and walked the dogs and took care of the animals. Tony was feeling ill all day so slept and rested most of the day--we hope he's not getting an after-Christmas cold.
Wanted to say thanks to everyone for our gifts--We love our Brookstone slippers from Dad & Claudia; my Mom way outdid herself again and sent way too much. Tony's mom sent me some very nice Coca-cola memorabelia (that i didn't already have!) and sent Tony a Beautiful carnival-glass punch bowl/glasses set; unfortunately the bowl broke during shipping even tho i've never seen anything packed so well; Barbara sent an IKEA gift certificate. Thanks Aggie and Barry - we love the fondue and ornaments, etc. Val & Skip - great GC and Brookstone digital frame keychain. (Greg & Robin for the lava cake set & creative photo; Kim/Rich for the terrific lazy susan; Ian/Laurie for the Antique iron doggy doorstop; Sandy, George, Bryan and the gang for the liquor!!). Everyone that brought us gifts to our party on Saturday nite (never necessary but always appreciated)...and pitched in by bringing liquor/beer.
& Thanks Tony for getting our wall downstairs finally built for me and getting another WideScreen LCD installed within it--I love you!

Spaced Out
Sitting in my London hotel room and hoping my ambien kicks in at least before I have to leave for a big meeting in the morning, doin a little catchup work and browsing some news to catch up on the world. And knowing that I find space things so damn cool...this is extra cool when you make note that it says in the last few years - not the last few thousand or million.
