Susan in TN Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 It is so dark in this place. I have to get real close to the microwave to see what the buttons say. Also, FIL keeps the TV on so loud that I can't hear what other people are trying to say to me. I am thinking about going the antisocial route for a little while to let my brain clear. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junie Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 All whistling, or just at certain times/in a certain manner? All. It was banned before migraines because it always gives me a headahe. Even one note can trigger it. I'm weird. I know. :) 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan in TN Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 (edited) Here's my conversation with FIL on the phone as we were driving into town: FIL: did you get lost? Me: no we're in Townsville. We thought we'd stop at a store and bring some dinner up. FIL: ok if that's what you want. We were going to pick up pizza. Me: it's no problem. We'll get some deli chicken salad or something. FIL: well "Pete" (dh's nephew) is on his way out the door to get the pizza. You don't want to have to go down the mountain to the grocery store. Me: ok, we'll go with that then if it's already ordered. FIL: whatever you want. I don't want to tell you what to do. Me: lets go with the pizza. It will be good. FIL: ok if that's what you want. You can get chicken salad tomorrow if you want some. FIL (to "Pete"): go ahead and order the pizza and go pick it up. See if they have chicken salad. Me: (sigh) See you in 10 minutes. This is just the major highlights. :D Edited December 25, 2017 by Susan in TN 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan in TN Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 He’s trying. I know. Maybe. He will have a thing in his head and can't hear anything you say otherwise and tries really hard to make it sound like his plan was your idea all along. It's exhausting. But it could be worse. Right now, MIL is having a tin-foil ball fight with the kids. :lol: 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paige Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 I'm cooking steak, baking potatoes and steaming some cauliflower for dinner. Then we will have cherry pie with ice cream.

Ellie Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 Tomorrow, Mr. Ellie and I will open our few presents to each other. The neighbors (parents and one adult child) are coming over for breakfast ; I'm trying to decide whether to make Quiver's rolls or not... A friend and her son, a friend from church, and one of my acting friends are coming over for Christmas dinner around three. I'm envious of those who have big family gatherings; it has never been our lot in life to experience that. OTOH, we never have the family drama that many people experience who have big family gatherings, so there's that. :hat: 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Critterfixer Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 The cherry pie was a success. Even my boy who isn't a pie guy ate it and enjoyed it. I think the separate baking of crust, filling and top crust is the way to go with double crust GF pies. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, he made a Scratch program, in which the cat says the Greek alphabet too. Just thought that was funny. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Critterfixer Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 Presents here are done. It never takes long. The boys each got a model to put together and I got some ink for the one boy who likes drawing maps with a quill pen. I got myself a few drawing pens. DH got a gift card for lunches at his favorite sandwich place. I might read, write and paint for the rest of the day until it is time to go to MILs. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
