Baby, it’s cold outside
Ok, not really. Windows are open, temps in the low 60’s – falling into the 50’s. We had a nice, pleasant afternoon. We got some cleaning done around the house, I cooked steaks on the grill and Lily even went swimming. Not sure what that girl would do without her pool.
The Bucs lost. Not sure it matters. I think the Seahawks had to lose and the Bucs had to win to improve our seeding in the playoffs. So not a big deal. The last game of the season is at home against the Panthers.
Both kids in bed! Time to fold laundry by the looks of it.
Moooo
Pennsylvania continues it’s track record of being Not Safe To Visit!!! Not Safe To Drink the Water! Not Safe To Drink the Milk!!

By comparison, Florida’s Publix grocery stores maintain strict labeling requirements that identify milk that’s been juiced… Click here for Story
That breaker trips for a reason!!
Artificial tree goes up in very real fire!
What would Christmas be without football?
I guess the schedule of Christmas on a Monday/Tuesday this year means we get a lot of NFL football around the Big Day. Monday Night Football is on Christmas Eve. I guess football beats watching the video of the Yule log burning. And I don’t think Diane will let me watch It’s a Wonderful Life.
I waited only about an hour for our ham – not too bad. The weather was pleasant enough to be outside and inside they had samples and TV. It’s was nice not having Lily or Leo – they wouldn’t have enjoyed the wait. I made friends in line and we discussed leading everyone off in a round of We Wish You a Merry Christmas, but we couldn’t get much support. Bunch of Grinches.
Both Lily and Leo are down for naps. We have a few chores to do outside this afternoon – salt for the water softener, birdseed for the feeders. I’ve got a pool pump to work on, but I don’t think I’ll get to that.
Not sure about how we are all feeling. Lily has a cough that matches the cough Diane and I have. Other than the cough and a little chest congestion, I feel ok. Sleep has been restless – I hate waking up with a dry mouth and the congestion is making for some snoring.
I probably didn’t need to stay up and watch the Cowboy’s game until after 11 o’clock last night!
Mid 70’s today. The fog has been slow to burn off, but it’s breaking now and giving way to clear, sunny skies.
Is this the line?
I’m performing one of my holiday duties by waiting in line for our ham. The line looks long – maybe 75 yards down the sidewalk plus the line inside the store. It’s moving, actually quicker than I would have thought.
Lily and I made pancakes this morning then we all ran to Target and Home Depot. The mall parking doesn’t look too bad considering they opened at 7am.
Sorry about my rant from last night. I’ve decided it was a little too “soapbox” so I deleted it.
Christmas comes tomorrow. Lily is still adding things to her list. I don’t think she has a clue what awaits her Christmas morning! The tension and excitement are mounting!! I think this is shaping up to be my favorite Christmas yet!
