  • Happy Boxing Day!


    I have an immense headache today.  I think its from being deprived of caffine for about 4 days.  That and the champagne we had yesterday.  *shrug* who knows.    But it is a killer headache.  Think thats enough reason to go home from work? 


    I didn't think so either. 


    So I hosted Christmas yesterday.  This was my year it seems . . I also hosted Thanksgiving.  I made Roast Beef, Roast potatoes, Yorkshire Pudding, and a smattering of veggies (asparagus, carrots, parsnips).  I wish I had taken a picture of the Yorkie Pud.  My mother often makes the pudding for special occasions.  She's the british one . . she's the cook as well . . everything generally works for her.  x-cept the pudding.  Her Yorkshire Pudding always falls flat on its face.  So when mine came out golden brown and perfectly puffed, I was a bit pleased.    definitely.  and boy oh boy was it good . . . light as a feather!  (Ok. . I'm done patting myself on the back now).


    All this was done *after*  a flurry of Christmas gigs.  Church services all over NE Ohio.  I must say . . the paychecks are LOVELY though.  But I have been so busy.  I can't wait for Jan 1st to be here.  Aside from a visit (hopefully!!) from R, my numerous gigs will be over for a little while . . and I'll have some time to breathe.  and sleep.  And to finish organizing my life.  I have all sorts of plans for this coming year.  Goals. . projects . . . should be fun.


    BUT . . time for me to actually do some work.  Thats the bad thing about it being the day after a holiday.  I'm not really motivated to do anything.  And it doesn't help that there is hardly anyone in the office.  Thankfully though, when I actually get down to it. . . I'll be able to get a lot of things done today. . . even with all of my anti-motivation going on. 


    I hope everyone had a great Xmas!  Here's to the impending new year!!

  • congratulations on your success at hosting. seems you did wonderfully. Good that you enjoyed the holiday...

  • hey! i'm originally from 'cleveburg', so i'm well aware of the boredom associated with it. although, i did have quite a time driving around, as i instinctively knew where to turn and where to go, even though i haven't been in the area for some time.

    should've taken a pic of the yorkshire puddings. i've seen many people try and fail.

  • Howdy there!  I hope you have a great New Year, too. I also hope you find that elusive big boot!

    I think it's great you can host holidays at your place.  My mother and brother and sister all have big houses but I live in a little dinky place that's big enough for....two people, maybe?

    They also cook better than I care to.  I can cook and I'm a good cook but I don't feel like putting that much effort into it.  I cook on the weekends and that's about it.

    Anyway....HAPPY NEW YEAR!
