A virtual gift-giving MMP

I managed to sleep until 7 this morning. Yay! This getting up at 4.30 lark on a weekend was gettign old. LibbyCat is fed and I am drinking coffee and mr ems is still snoozing. I may have to go poke him with a stick soon to get him up as I am hungry!

All the Christmas presents for this side of the water are wrapped and under the tree. Christmas pressents for the UK side of the water are on the spare bed. It is going to take a lot to fit them in a suitcase to get them home on the 15th! :eek:

Today I will write all the Christmas cards.

It was nice in the house last night. Candles on, lights out, Christmas tree twinkling. I love this time of year.

The OK weather can’t make up its mind if it is going to snow tomorrow or not. I am hoping not as I have a flight to catch tomorrow afternoon.

Feel better rosie and gt!

Good morning, all.

I seem to be winning the battle against the cold; thanks for the good wishes.

Up and contemplating what to do with the day.

The knitting seems to be calling.

Hugs.

I’ve got a pan of brownies in the oven, and when they’re done, we’ll be heading down to Solomons. Stoopit boat…

Morning.

I may have made a tactical error in not getting DH an iPad of his own. He has discovered the Mahjongg game I installed. :smack:

I lost. :frowning:

Good morning, I managed to stay in bed until about 7:45 or so.

We had a great time celebrating our friend’s birthday and didn’t get home until after 1:00 in the morning.

I have a bit of a headache this morning. I felt the headache coming on last night while still at our friend’s house. I was really ready to go home. However, we had to drop off another friend before we could go home. By the time we got home, my head was pounding. I went straight to bed after letting the dogs in.

I thought my head would fee better this morning, and it does feel a bit better, but not much. I sure hope I’m not coming down with something. I really, really don’t have time be sick.

I plan to do laundry and laze about. This is the extent of my plans and all I want to do.

The good ship (sloop, actually) Draco is winterized, not to be restarted till spring. <sigh> We’ve had lunch, daughter will be here in a couple of hours, and I should tidy the kitchen. I will. Eventually.

I may assume the knit position and start a new something - maybe I’ll do hats and scarves - they’ll be easier to manage in the hospital waiting room than an afghan. Off to select yarn.

Howdy Y’all! I have deheathenated, brunched and napped. Large day. :smiley:

MOG brought her granddaughter aka Baby Girl (BG) to church. Durin’ brunch I was largely entertained by BG after I ate, I walked around holdin’ BG so MOG who had been feedin’ her could eat. BG is almost eleven months old and is beginnin’ to walk, mostly by holdin’ on to a finger. BG decided it was walk time so we walked all over the place. She wore me out! That’s ok cause we had fun.

Stuffded!! Very good supper and very nice visit with daughter. She and her dad are downstairs getting some stuff for her to take home. Brownies later.

Life is good.

Giggling over the mental image of **swampy **being led around the house by BG! :smiley: Is that sooooo adorable!!!

And I do mean led! I be a sucker for BG. :smiley:

Also, chawklit ice cream good!

Awwwww! I bet she is cute!

Christmas cards are written and awaiting mailing all over the world. Tortilla soup is simmering nicely and mr ems and I have been lazy all day. We needed it between the crazyness at work for both of us recently, me being knocked out with some virus, getting stuff together for the holidays etc we needed a little break before the crazy kicks back in starting tomorrow.

Happy Sunday!

So who’s up to get us started tomorrow?

Looks like **Mom **got us started over here.

I love this catapult!!! Actually, was looking for it to buy for myself and stumbled upon here.
I found great pic on pinterest from Leonardo Da vinci’s catapult on amazon, here.
You are right, you can find a lot of awesome things such as this catapult on This is why I’m broke, ThinkGeek or even geekologie. My personal favorite right now is Geekwrapped . Now, that’s the place where I am spending my money currently :slight_smile: I bought awesome bluetooth speaker for my kid there and also best budget iRobot Roomba, after reading review here.

Also, guys, check the list on PC mag, for geek gifts, I found this tech tieawesome.
