Well, the ornaments are all back in hibernation, but I'm leaving the bare, lighted trees up for tonight so I can light them up for Twelfth Night. Then I'll pack them away tomorrow.

We've been up since 6:30 a.m. and we've starving. Time to grab some lunch, fer sure!

We just ordered a new laptop! Our's has still really been acting up. I think we are going to see if someone can wipe out the old one and see if it is good for just games, for EA to play on.

Can't wait for it's arrival!

There's a file that you can download online and burn onto a CD or DVD; then you boot the computer with it, and it wipes everything. Caution, though ... it wipes EVERYTHING, so if you want it for games or something, you'd have to re-install the OS. I used it to wipe an old laptop before I took it to Staples for disposal.

Good morning, Christmas friends. It is overcast and quite chilly here in northern California. Hubby and I will be having our Christmas dinner today since my lack of energy prevented us (me, really) from doing anything during the week of Christmas. The turkey is almost brined, the croutons are being dried and then will be toasted, the crockpots are ready for the gravy and stuffing, the rolls will soon be rising, the pie is store-bought, the eggs will soon be deviled, the potatoes are soon to be cooking, and the peas and cauliflower will round out the meal in addition to cranberry sauce. I think that's it. Hope I haven't forgotten anything!

Well I just lit my Harvest and Holiday berry Yankee Candles..I am one of those weird folks who do not like burning "out of season" candles. Soon it will be time to buy the flower frangrances like honey dew melon and honeysuckle and my all time favorite white Gardenia..In summer I buy midsummer nights dream,clean cotton and macintosh..I can remember when they were 19.99 for the biggest size now they are 30!! I alone keep Yankee Candle Co in business. Brandi keeps telling me we need to go to the Flagship store in Mass...I would buy them out I think..it's kind of sad using the last of my holiday candles up..PCB's have been awful this year..I think back over my last 4 Christmases since I have lived here. I joined this lovely Website the second year and am so grateful I found this place..I know we all feel this way. Anyhow I can't believe it's already after 1..brandi just called and said she was on the way home from grocery store...code: get your can out in the driveway and unload groceries!!!

I bought one for the mrs this Christmas and Its neat and all, but beware, (and of course, this is only my opinion, (I do not want offend anyone)) but Windows 8 - it's a real stinker.... (It's a perfect example of geeks going wild/ too far to be too cool...).

I mean, you can become used to it, but it's not Windows 7 or XP, I'll take them any day of the week. And it's not the user, it's the platform, it's way too complicated and totally useless for someone, that is just a basic operator/ user and wants or needs only just basic functions.

I'm telling you the world is becoming way to complicated for itself and in some cases, like this, unnecessary. There is a point as with all things, that simpler is better, why complicate things all the time? Life is stressful enough, why make it worse.... Just my blah, blah, blah for the day!

Just finished the first "glaze" that goes on the turkey: garlic olive oil and sesame seed oil. Love that smell!

It has taken me about an hour but I think I am finally done with putting up groceries...She bought out the store but also got some great deals on Nestle Coffee Creamer Eggnog and Christmas flavors..I am drinking a huge cup of coffee now with the egg nog flavor and have my Christmas music playing in the background I can't believe just last weekend this time we were getting ready to ring in the new year...I hope the rest of 2013 goes by this fast so the Holidays will be here sooner!

You know, we need to all move to some town, gradually take it over and then rename it to MerryChristmas. Then as having all of you as my neighbors, we would all then have our christmas lights up and lit to this very day....could you just imagine...:wiggy:
 
it´s 10pm here right now...I am totally wasted....lol...no idea what from...but I guess this cold has just taken a toll on me...on Monday work starts again...and I am more exhausted than before the holidays...if I am not up to 80percent fit...I won´t be able to work...but I think I will make it....even tho I have the feeling that I would need one more week to get totally fit again...and a bit rested

Same here in fact the one house on my street it's just a light up wreath on the front door...but in town we still have our city lights up on the telephone poles and light poles. I bet they are coming down soon though.
