No, I had to share.  Too funny to hold it back.  I'll see what's on sale for Christmas cards after Christmas.

"Come round the bend, you know it's the end, the fireman screams and the engine just gleams."  Mmmm, I did leave the story off at the train coming around the bend.  Me on top screeching to the coyote driving the train.  I can fly off if we crash.  Coyote can jump to safety if he chooses the right direction.  Might not be a train wreck either, just nose to nose and a little jolt.  Somebody would have to back up.  Let me take a peek into the story and see what's going on.  Trouble on the tracks.  Nope, wait a minute, gleaming engine.  Who's this dark star?

Well, that just creeps me out.  One of the reasons I shouldn't be on facebook has popped up.  Paranoid and feeling persecuted by my former employer.  He sees me on his side but my hands are tied.  Unresponsive to my redirection, just keeps adding to his paranoia.  Far enough away, harmless until they're not is my thinking.  "Watch each card you play and play it slow."  Good advice.  Stuff like this happens around the holidays.  Maybe instead of my own facebook page I'll run the garden one.

Hang on, changes of plans, plans to come to St Louis after Christmas and look for an apartment.   Huh

Weather front coming in.  I've had a headache since 4.  We are getting rain for Christmas but the temps are going up.  If we're not getting snow it might as well be warm.

On today's shopping list:  Christmas cards, a rubber mallet and hashbrowns.  None of them at the same store. hihi  I'm still trying to understand my daughter.  She just finished up her shopping.  She's the shopper in the family, how can she not have this?  I'm going to grab the baby tonight so she can wrap.  Taking him to a subdivision where I know we can walk under the Christmas lights.  Don't think he's ready for hot chocolate yet but we'll get there.   Cheesy

The rubber mallet?  Yeah, it's for me.  I'm tired of borrowing one.  I hoping to spend a little time with it and crowbar in Saturday.   Cool

Man it was crowded out there for a Monday.  I'll get the mallet later.  The baby is going with a birthday invite his father got last night so no lights.

And slight change in Christmas Day plans.  Fucks up my son.  Turns out he was going to leave after breakfast and gift opening and run back to Ohio till Sunday.  Figures it's a good time to go back and pick up his coffee maker, ice scrapers and some other shit he was going to have to buy anyway.  Is it now?!  hihi  You've got no money, no gifts for your kids for Christmas, time to spend with you while they're off school and need supervision, you're driving a junker car and her son who tried to stab you is going to be off school the whole time.  Why does he sound so happy with his plans?  He's going to talk to the kids.  Yeah, do that face to face and see the impact that has on them.

You know, my opinion, not my life and nobody is asking.  Well, my daughter is and I have a feeling a few other people are going to too.   hihi  Yeah, train wreck.

Everybody pile on.   hihi

Susan has a sewer smell coming from her washing machine area.  Had a guy coming this morning who didn't and didn't show again for the rescheduled time.  Several of the neighbors are complaining of the same smell in the condo unit.  She is not making her all moved in by Christmas goal this year.

My connecting neighbor calls.  He is finally going to try to complete the bathroom remodel he started years ago.  I might hear a little noise.  You mean right there on the other side of the wall to my on suite, not forgetting he's a second shift worker who doesn't get going until midnight.   He has the neighborhood kid, the one who blew up the gas tank that landed on his Challenger, doing the work.  hihi

My daughter texts at 10:30.  She doesn't have a gift for grandma.  Give her a few options.  You've got a husband and don't have to be there till 2.  Show up with a gift.

I'm waiting for a text from Sandy, Monday night football should be over.

Well, okay then.  Can't say these people aren't interesting and a little bit entertaining.   hihi

I am just fucking up all over the place and getting caught.   hihi

Mom was showing off her new flag and somebody asked her who it was from.  She says Santa and the person asks who Santa is.  She tells them it's me!  She's finally figured out who gets her Santa gifts.   hihi  Well, I'm not admitting it.  I just turned away real quick.

It happen to catch my eye driving down to mom's that Mega Millions was sitting at one billion.  I stop and buy everyone a chance.  My sister texts what time is the drawing and how does she find out the numbers.  I reply, tonight at 10 just check them online, fuck.  I left her a secret Santa gift right by her computer to open tomorrow.   I text, secret Santa gifts don't get opened until Christmas day, just saying.  Apparently she had went to the computer because a few minutes later she texts back, dang!   hihi

The one handed egg trick, I got to number 4 and got a shell in it.  On number 5 I figured I needed a little more hard hitting and all down the side of the bowl.   hihi  Number six got it right but I still need to work on my cracking an egg with one hand trick.

First Christmas went well.  I was determined not to check out.  Kind of cool because I forgot I was doing that by the time I got there.  Spoke with everybody and my brother who has been distant joined me in a joke on his daughter.  Pregnancy hormones running wild in that girl.  It's all about sex. 

Car is loaded with gifts for tomorrow.  Breakfast and gifts at my daughter's.  She wants me to be there at 9.  Working people, I swear, sleep in once in a while.  We're having dessert at my house tomorrow night.  Guess I should have put ornaments on the tree.

3 losers on the Mega Millions already, 10 people in on it.    I would have spilt it with all of them.  Wouldn't want to be the one who feels like she's responsible for the whole group.   You can pay for your own poor choices now.  hihi

Sandy won $15 on her scratchers.  Loves that I was on cold meds when I created her gift.   hihi

The fourth got the mega ball.  Lives to try again.  That's after she told me she would be in bed before they drew the numbers.   hihi

Nobody won and it has rolled over.  There is a million dollar winner in Missouri.  Lets see how the other 6 did.

Let's have a do over.   Cheesy  The daughter needed me to pick up milk on the way over so I bought everyone another chance.  Had a little trouble finding room for a gallon of milk in the car between the gifts and the food.   hihi

Nice Christmas at my daughters.  We had breakfast and took our time about opening gifts.  My favorite gift is an elephant watering can.   Cheesy  Got a box with Patriots on it.  They produce survival products in case some of those conspiracy theories come true.   hihi  Also useful in natural disasters or those WTF moments.  Tonight everyone comes here for dessert except my son.  He left us and went over to see the kids for a minute before heading to Ohio.

Remember those days when just having to be with that special somebody made you do crazy shit like drive two states away?   hihi  I don't know that that's the case here but it's going to be special for her.  I can be thankful she gave him shelter and help when he needed it.  On Christmas he got family and I know that was his wish.  May he reach his destination and make her wish come true.

Okay, time for my Christmas nap underneath a good book!   Cheesy  Hope everybody is having a good time, it's required today.

It's not over until New Years Day.  But it's fair to rag on Christmas at this point.   hihi

Mom's Christmas, the old ladies were in charge and it went off perfect.  Decorations, party favors, food and games, spot on.  I was shocked at how skinny by brother has become.  Both he and his wife had dark circles under their eyes.  They weren't drugged up and my brother was able to walk around without a cane.  Everybody showed up an hour early, food and gifts, they are coming early.   hihi  Surprised nobody was in any hurry to leave.

My daughter's show, way too early to start it at 9 in the morning.  She is so off her game.  I'm going to write it off as new parents.  One toddler can throw off anybody's game, even when there are two parents.   hihi  Next year we start that at 11 and I'm bringing paper products.  90 gallon trash bag so needed.   hihi  The SIL starts off every Christmas morning like he's in a bad mood.  Memories of childhood Christmases I suspect.  By the end, he's happily playing with his toys.  Next year, I think he and I will plan this party.

My dessert party, last minute thing.  My house is way too small!  The kids were totally beat and nobody is hungry for more sweets at that point.  The puzzle was fun.  I'm thinking next year, somewhere else, maybe family Christmas movie theme.  Everybody snuggled in the living room with blankets, maybe a Christmas pajama party?  I'll get my daughter to help me plan that.

I'm going to grab Susan and go on a Christmas blanket hunt for the hospital for next year this weekend.  They did 360 blankets at the hospital, everyone in the hospital got covered.  It's not really a charity, something the employees do.  All the little wishes for the foster children got filled.  I need to play in my plant room for a while.  The onions need a haircut.  Doesn't help I didn't get up until noon again.   hihi  Then again, what is time to me?  Oh shit!  Just looked out the window and I have siding on my driveway.  I have to get the Christmas light down!
