How... who... (shakes head in despair)

I'm hiding out in the family room, practically everyone is standing around in the kitchen doing dishes but the kitchen is really small so I left. The food was good though. BiL does nothing to help just stands around in the way cause he can't go sit by himself or talk to anyone else.

I ate such a big brunch this morning now I don't feel like cooking my special dinner, lolz. Maybe I'll save these hens for New Year's Day? That would mean I'd have to refreeze them though.

Oh my gosh, I’ve SEEN one in real life. My old boyfriend’s neighbor was a bit eccentric. I had heard about this toilet and got to see it one day when he invited us over to look at the work he’d done in the basement.

Oh my gosh. He had knocked down all of the walls inside his house. Al of them!! He said he wanted to change the configuration, but it had been years and he was just not getting to it. Anyway, he wanted to work on the basement.

So there it was—a toilet just sitting out in the middle of the house!

He said his girlfriend never comes over, LOL

I’m baking my own honey-baked ham from a knock-off recipe. I just put it in the oven a few minutes ago. The house already smells pretty good!

OK, I have some work to do.

Thanks for explaining. So that's how this sort of thing comes about. A long series of truly awful decisions, and a fatal misunderstanding of the concept 'open-plan'.

Merry Christmas to all!!!

And to those who have had a rough time over the holiday, I am sending my warmest biggest most comforting HUGS!!! (((((((((((((hugs))))))))))))))))

I am a little partied out myself. LOADS of family time each year for us, with many dinner gatherings, outings and festivities. It's fun but it's a little much for my tastes. I'm ready to call it a day, be comfy in my pajamas and watch movies by my lonesome!

Cep, your odd photo encouraged me to post these, from a book called Terrible Estate Agent Photos (they're all real):
Hiya Purple! I hope you had a nice time with people close to you, now that you got a little time off.

I liked the photos.

You might want to scratch "visit the International Space Station" off your list then.
(I'm not making that up)

* * *

People are odd. It's no longer a living room or sitting room with electronics in it; The room is now a "Media Centre". People are actually calling it that with a straight face. Upon hearing this, I told them I'm now calling the cellar with the furnace and the water system, "Engineering".

Christmas gift exchange went well. Everyone brings a dollar gifted wrapped then we shake dice in a pie pan. When you get doubles you get to pick a gift. Then once everyone has a gift comes the two minutes finial whenever you shake doubles you can switch with someone until time is up, then everyone opens their gift. A fun time is held by all.

I finally got the hens into the oven and my apartment is starting to smell awesome. In about an hour I will start on the smashed squash, and then I will also make my peach caramel pie!

And then I will die from eating all this food by myself. Hahahahha! Someone get 911 on the phone. Seesaw is going to have a heart attack!

We had turkey and ham, squash, green bean casserole, dressing, feta salad, yams, rolls, cheesy potatoes and assorted pickles and olives. Yum. Now the table is covered with desert, cookies, fudge, cake, pumkin, and various snake mixes.
