I'm going to 8 AM Christmas Mass this morning. When I come home, hubs and I (and Jack . . .) will open gifts. I bought Jack a ridiculous-looking, purple monster chew toy. Supposedly, it's made extra tough so he'll have a struggle to destroy it--nothing Jack likes better than carnage. (If this one lasts an hour, I'll be surprised.
)
At 10:00 AM, there is a Disney special, so I might tune that in.
Finally decided yesterday at the supermarket, what to make for dinner today (that would only take minimal effort). Got a roast beef (just throw in oven), bought pre-cooked sides of mashed potatoes and mashed squash (just heat up both), and I'll make an easy green bean casserole (5 minutes prep--throw in oven). Bought a can of gravy (I can nuke that). My sister's bringing crackers and cheese for ahead of time, and I also have (plain) egg nog before dinner as well (traditional). I bought a bottle of nonalcoholic sparkling cider for dinner. For dessert -- bought a Christmas cake and vanilla frozen yogurt. (Oh, I have plenty of Starbucks dark roast coffee available, too!
)
(I'll bet that Emeril, the famous chef, would be jealous of my cooking skills.)
and I can't wait to hear all about the carnage
He said he didn't want to take Benadryl because it would make him sleepy.
So I told him it was either take the Benadryl or go to the emergency room. He took the Benadryl. By the time we got done with presents and stockings he was looking better, but I guess we will just keep an eye on it.
