I am on vacation! The parents arrived a few hours ago. There is still cleaning and laundry sorting to do, but its much more enjoyable when people are here to keep you company. :)

I decided on Prime Rib, mash potatoes, green bean casserole, mac and cheese, biscuits and peach pie for Christmas dinner. Tonight I am making homemade chicken pot pie. I've printed off recipes for homemade pizza crust and sticky buns. Carbs anyone?

I have done some sewing. I tore into my cashmere stash and sewed up some fingerless gloves fashioned from the sleeves. They turned out nice and everyone who received them as gifts really liked them. Now I need to make a pair for myself.

  1. Hey!! You can donate blood! They used to have it that if you were there for over 2 months or whatever you couldn't, but now it's if you were there for that period of time like prior to 1990 or something. So you should be good!

  4. Good lord: are you SURE you want to watch a lightning storm from sea? Hopefully you could choose to be on an island or maybe an impossibly large ship because having spent a considerable amount of time at sea in a small sailboat, few things terrify me more than lightning storms at sea.
