Good news: my final paper is done and turned in.

More good news: It is 70 degrees outside. Yes it is December.

Bad news: There's an air quality alert, so I can't go outside and enjoy it. Of course there is...

Couldn't decide if I should like this post or not. Glad the paper is done, sorry about your air. We've have bad fog for days, now with rain. Still not snow. Happy Camper.

Did anybody else watch the documentary about Snow White on ABC tonight? It was very good despite there being way too many commercial breaks. I'm not even that big a fan of the movie, but it's a great story.

Thanks. He is still struggling with a cough. He busted a blood vessel in his eye last night from coughing. Looks so gross.

Oh I felt so bad for my babies when they had a cough, especially when it kept waking them up. My Pediatrician recommended a stack books under the legs of their crib/bed so they slept with head elevated without having to be propped up.

It's a new Christmas movie in theatres now. It stars Diane Keaton, John Gooman, Alan Arkin, Amanda Segfried, Olivia Wilde, etc.

Had me at Diane Keaton. I always enjoy her movies.

Nope, when I was much younger I was stupid and got alcohol poisoning. I haven't anything but an occasional beer. I don't do alcohol flavored things either.

Oh that is too bad. I like to eat my alcohol more than drink it.

Wise Woman.

Well...don't think hubby would appreciate it.

I used to knit. It is very relaxing. I made a huge throw, it was nice and thick and warm. I've since forgotten how to cast on the stitches.

When in doubt, YouTube

I have not had my Christmas dinnerware out in years. I never know what to do with it during that month, so it doesn't seem to come out.
One year my DH was cleaning out the storage room and I saw it heaped in a pile to be tossed. At $250 for 4 place settings and I have 12 I about wet myself. Now I want to go downstairs and see if it is still there.

We use ours instead of our regular dishes for the month. So we just swap them out. But my set isn't fine china. Just has a wintery scene.

We have Christmas dishes too, and just swap them out for the month. They aren't fine china either just everyday kind of dishes. They are fun to have out for a little while.

I'm currently watching Behind The Magic: Snow White which is currently airing on ABC right now.

I am recording that too. I will eventually get to watch all this stuff I am recording. Right now I am watching the special on Frank Sinatra 100 years.

It was really great. And a little bit different than what you might expect from a Christmas movie.

 

[French Quarter]

And it took me all day but I am finally all ketchuped! And now it's time for sleep...lol

In the process, though, I did manage to get the tree trimmed with the family, cook some, and enjoyed some Christmas specials on the television.

Sweet dreams, all.

We had a great time. The band director is really good, and brings out the best in the kids. Their playing was amazing.

I was at a craft fair in a high school yesterday. There were 4 sax players preforming Christmas carols. One was good, the other three kinda reminded me of 4th grade beginning band. Sadly they were not meshing well with each other, same piece different styles. It wasn't pretty. Plus the school had tiled concrete block walls, tiled floor, pretty narrow space and they had a portable amp to project, distorted, made pretty bad sound even worse. I was actually thinking of @brifraz as I was walking the halls yesterday.

Mine isn't China either. It is an expensive stoneware, Waechterbach. This pattern was sold for many many years in good department stores and covets a pretty good price on eBay. I collected it all over likely a decade, every year picking up more pieces after Christmas. I really love it. Maybe next year I will drag it out. It does make me smile.

Ha! Thinking Not!

I really enjoyed it, while I liked the PBS documentary this one was alot better.
