Still enjoying a nice, relaxing christmas. Today Kev and I went with my parents to the Carnegie Museum to see the Bog people exhibit.
yep. Bog people. People and things thrown into bogs in Europe and preserved for a few thousand years. To be honest, the exhibit was a little heavy on the “things” [...]
Christmas eve:

*wherein we learn that all British people, even small children are born with innate skills in handling achaic weaponry and talents in leading armies into battle and winning said battle. Well done, British people!

talking with my parents about the son of my father’s cousin (my….3rd cousin?)
Mom: well, all while he was growing up, if you talked to his mother, she ALWAYS said he was going to be a doctor. Oh yes…a DOCTOR.
us: *laugh*
Mom: then he was going into mortuary science. we even ran into [...]
yeah, that last post was lame. But I like that song and wanted an excuse to put it on here.
Packing is almost done. We want to load everything possible in the car tonight. Kev is…playing his computer game. And I am blogging. Productivity! w00t!
I’m going to throw out a plug for the [...]

I know that the NYC transit workers are going back to work, but I thought I’d remind everyone that they aren’t the ONLY ones who are unsatisfied with their work this time of year. Elf’s lament
I’m a man of reason, and they say “’tis the season to be jolly” [...]
wrapped all gifts but one – my father’s. His scarf is drying, pinned down to remove the annoying curl.
“and presents under…the treeeeee” Clicky to see what they are. Dad’s scarf, blocking.
All baking is finished. I even finally finished the truffles – scraped the refrigerated ganache and rolled it into balls, then [...]
Really, I am too busy to blog. WAY to busy.
yep.
shouldn’t be blogging.

…in leiu of actual “content.”
So I did not spend the entire weekend staring at my ring, mesmirized. I wanted to, though.
oooooo…prettttyyyyy…riiiiiing……
I did much running around and getting things done that were not so important, considering Christmas is HOLY SHIT…IN 6 DAYS!
I am so not ready.
So here are some pics [...]
Yeah it was fun!
Way too much food. And some “holiday cheer” in a bottle…brought by me. I made some cranberry vodka, most of which I’m taking home for celebrating with my family, but I brought a sample big enough for everyone to share.
mmm…dangerously good…
the gifts were HYSTERICAL! and of COURSE I [...]
the only reason I am at work right now is that our lab’s christmas party is tonight, and it will be kick-ass. I am SO FRIGGIN’ TIRED!
And I left work EARLY yesterday! Not to goof around, though.
For the party, we always do a white elephant gift exchange. If you are not familiar [...]
