I beg your pardon?
I’m not the person shooting the mice.
BIL’s insisting on playing a movie at us from his Surface and having technical problems, while MIL is acting like it’s HER home and she’s in charge.
Help. Me.
It is more important that in the Ring Das Nibelugen, four Wagner operas, DVD I bought, the woman singing the part of Brunnhilde is a tiny woman, not at all one of Wager’s “Warrior Maidens”.
I would if I could Nettie but I can’t even help myself.
My stomach is in knots, I will be so glad when tomorrow is over…
Flytrap - I know nothing about opera but a tiny woman seems - not right for the part
: sending ((((hugs))) and shots of tequila to sari and Nettie :
Can do!
I think my mood could be improved with alcohol.
Agh. It is 10pm. I have been up since 5am, and slept very little last night. They are STILL camped on my sofa, showing no signs of heading to the motel.
I’m also now getting guilted about their having spent money on a ticket to Star Wars for me tomorrow, without anyone bothering to ASK me if I WANTED to see that stupid movie (I don’t, I’d rather send the three of them off and have some peace and quiet). Choices they made without my input aren’t my responsibility, right?
Finally got them out the door around 10:20, and the movie ticket drama got solved a lot more easily than MIL seemed to want to think it could be. Cancel booking for four, rebook for three, same showing. Minor hassle, not a wasted-money calamity.
All I have to say is: do NOT spend money on plans made FOR me without actually CONSULTING me. If I didn’t have any input, I don’t feel any obligation.
Personally I would go with shotshells in my .38 although that is more for squirrels in the attic. Mice I’ve done best with glue traps but I keep my options open.
No but ------ you were the one showing concern for the floors. 
Been back from a great midnight service for hours and slowing down. Borrowed a computer. All is right with the universe tonight.
merry christmas everyone!!!
Merry Christmas y’all!
Shrunk for whining.
I’m all by myself and sick for the holidays. My windshield wipers broke yesterday so I couldn’t leave the mountains. Woke up this morning with a nasty head cold–third one I’ve had in three months. I’ve made the executive decision to reschedule Christmas for my birthday in late January. Maybe by then life will have found a new chew toy.
Enlarged for good news:
I got a $10 Rifftrax gift card. Now I can get the live version of my Traditional Christmas Movie with the extended Creepy Doll Dream sequence. I like that movie so much more than Santa Claus Conquers the Martians.
fritters away day, drinks lots of hot drinks
Merry Christmas!!
Up, caffeinated, off to work in a bit.
Awwww. sorry, Cats. But that movie reminds me of that meme on Facebook: “Thanks to autocorrect ,1 in 5 children will receive a visit from Satan this holiday.” 
Merry Christmas!!
…& a Happy Chinese food & movie day to you.
Well, not a movie, but I think a Doctor Who-a-thon is better than good enough.
I’ve been watching all my Rifftrax Christmas stuff. I want Chinese food, but I don’t think any of the ones in Hippy Hollow are open today. It is a weird town.
Merry Christmas, Mumpers!
Mrs. Plant (v.3.0) wanted Hoppin’ John with some of the ham she brought home for dinner, so I made some. She liked it.
The following pictures are not suitable for those who are faint of heart, like swampy and spiderman.
I got nailed by a teeny weenyfireworm yesterday.
Despite record high temps, I managed to have a White Christmas
Merry Christmas!
Home from the armpit!
Horrible fog on the way down, hard rain and fog on the way back.
Sah-son stayed home with the dog, he didn’t want to go anyway.
Surprisingly… I had a good time.
I got there first and had a chance to unwind.
My aunt and and uncle showed up and, I have no idea why, but my aunt was nice and friendly and we had a great time talking.
Then the older boys and my ex-bil showed up, then the niece with the younger boys, and then the HFH who stayed in the other room so not much contact with them.
My older niece didn’t make it, her hubbie is in the hospital with kidney stones.
So I made it home, brought some left overs with me and I’m ready to go to sleep.
