My girls thought it was fun singing Of The Father's Love Begotten half-steps apart. As a means of torture. Mission accomplished.😫

I'm comin' Krissi! Hold onto your sanity for just a few more minutes!

They've switched to Star Wars themes.

They are singing Christmas Carols in solfege (i.e. do re mi). Musicians. 🙄

Ds22 is talking to a girl on the phone. A social call. :svengo:

Did you dance in pantz? This Booya is dedicated to the Slache Dancer. You can pantz if you want to, You can leave your pantz behind...

(((Spudz))) Praying.

One nice thing about the harp is that it's hard to make it sound bad. You can plink random strings and it sounds awesome! :D My harp was made by Dusty Strings out in Jean's neck of the woods. Roughly. I have no idea really.

It is still raining. I'm going to play some Christmas music on the harp to soothe y'all. It will sound exactly like this: :lol:

(((Mr. Quacker & Quacker's floor)))

JJM & Co. stay safe and warm! Dd8, with great pride and detail, showed me her underwear folding technique. :D Egg nog is chilling, Ds13 has a batch of farmer's cheese going, and I dozed off for 10 minutes on the sofa.

NEED MORE COFFEE!!

:wub:

:wub:

Good morning! How can it be 9:00 already? Have so much to do on so little sleep. (Bruises from the fall yesterday woke me up every time I moved.) Quackers, how is dh's wrist? Did you tell us already? Most of you have waaaaaaaayyyy too much scheduled for today! Today we have to pack! And get the laundry done that was supposed to be done yesterday! :glare: And stop by the store for the millionth time. :glare: And mail registration papers. And the mortgage payment. (No sense in putting them in my mailbox. :banghead: ) And make Alton Brown's Egg Nog. More Coffee!

I have started wrapping gifts. How do you wrap Chapstick? Like a Tootsie Roll?

(((Mr. Quackers))) (((Jean)))

I avoid jumping jacks because I fear the excessive jiggling will spiral out of control. :willy_nilly:

I fell down the back deck stairs earlier today on the way to the store - just got a little scraped. The steps were wet and slippery (probably growing algae) and I was wearing the hiking sneakers that caused me to slip and fall off that cliff a couple summers ago. The stars were aligned. I think everyone might aughtta stay in bed for the remainder.

Oh good grief. I'd need the priest to just follow right behind us so we could confess on the go every 30 seconds of that mess! :svengo:

Dh was able to get our non-refundable/changeable hotel reservations changed! 👠We had been planning to leave Grandma and Grandpa's on one particular day because we had reasons to be home two days later, but Grandma said dh's nephew and family were coming up and wanted us to stay an extra day so we could see them. So we changed plans to stay an extra day and then found out yesterday that dh's nephew isn't coming at all. I suspect the nephew didn't care if they saw us or not and Grandpa just made up that story. Thus and hence. 👠Also, Grandma has a turkey in the freezer, so that is taken care of already.

Sounds like a good plan to me!

More coffee!!

🎈🎈🎈🎉 Happy Birthday, Renai! 🎉🎈🎈🎈 :wub:

That's a good idea - fortunately we have a couple weeks worth of it before we need a refill.
