What I'm Reading This Week #24
Sup y'all! Welcome to flop sweat season (and Friday!) I hope you had a good week and stayed cool. I had to wave the flag and pull all of the 'impatiens' I grew from seed as that is not the plant I apparently bought. I'm still going round with the people I got them from because dammit, I want a refund. So I had to go to the nursery and get regular impatiens to replace the ones I pulled. It's already nicer to see actual color instead of looking out everyday and wonder WTF they're going to turn into other than some rando plant with a thick, juicy stem. Not that the ones I got look a ton better as they too are leggy. I don't know what the deal is with that. I also grabbed some chives half off to plant with the zinnias to keep the aphids at bay. Who knows if it'll actually work or not, we'll see. Now let's see: 9 Foot Exercises to Try at Home (I've been doing these over the last week and oochie owie for my weak azz feet...
Merry Christmas friend! We're almost ready for dinner here, can't wait :D
ReplyDeleteTonight is my favourite night of the year. Merry Christmas to you. xox
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas to you and the Mr.! I hope your evening is as relaxing as it sounds.
ReplyDeleteToday I will go to a Christmas Eve lunch (full turkey dinner spread) at my Dad's place and celebrate with he, my step mother, and her family. This evening I will go to my boyfriend's Aunt's house for dinner (another full turkey dinner spread) to celebrate with his father's extended family, and then back home to chill and wrap any last minute presents. I expect that we will be curled up on the sofa, a wood fire going in the fireplace insert, a glass of wine in my hand, watching the lights on the Christmas tree, and just relaxing before going to bed.
We go to mom's today for the family fest with the pups in tow (they love it there). Then we'll come home and sit around the tree as I read Twas The Night Before Christmas out of an old cloth book. Then it's off with the lights, except for the tree and I'll stay up awhile with that on my own just to relax and ponder. I'll leave the tree on overnight and get up around 5am tomorrow morning to enjoy some quiet time with God and my cocoa with marshmallows. Then the hubs and the pooches will get up and we'll begin our day. We've never had Christmas at home (it's always been flipped around) but we decided this year we'd all be more relaxed if we could enjoy the day at our own homes for those of us who have to work the next day (I do, the hubs does not). So I'm looking forward to today and tomorrow very much!
ReplyDeleteHappy Christmas Eve! I'm not sure what tonight will bring, but it'll be nice whatever it is. I'm hoping for a viewing of Christmas Story since I haven't watched it yet this year, but we'll see. My folks are here so whatever happens will be great.
ReplyDeleteHappy day and happy tomorrow!
This day is my favorite too. It's always been magical for me. I think about my future and pray that I never have to spend this specialist of all holidays alone. So I plan to enjoy the hell out if Christmas Eve this year.
ReplyDeleteStill at work right now, shhhh. Then my brothers for family and gifts, eeee. Then home for carols and present at midnight! Then sleep and do it all over again with the other family tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteI will be in a heap come tomorrow night too. I so love Christmas.
Merry Christmas to you Anele and the Mr. May God bless you richly.
