| post and pre holiday |
i put the girls on a plane yesterday at 8 a.m. they went to their father's parent's house in a sunny locale, where their father was going to be as well. eventually.
we did our solstice celebration on wednesday eve., and it went very well. we had a lovely time - candles lit, the tree flashing, gifts being opened, candy being nibbled upon, and Thing Two creaming all of us at our newest addition to the massive family game collection ... Othello. It was a favorite of mine when I was a kid, and Thing One used to play it at her after school program in California, and she liked it as well, but we never had it. now we do. but thing one .... she beat me!
I *never* get beat. sometimes i'll do that mom-thing, and give thing two a winning hand or something if we're playing Spit, or I'll move a little slow in other games so that she's not completely Trounced, but I will NOT give away the entire win. Beloved doesn't really like playing with me, and I think this is one area where he kind of wonders if supporting me to and through law school is a mistake ... it woke up the competitor in me.
now the girly-q's are gone, and i have a 4 day weekend. should i be embarassed to say i woke up pretty damned near 11 a.m. today? i am a little embarassed - but not enough to not say it. Beloved is working a 1/2 day, and then we're goign to wander up to Whole Foods and buy some Filet Mignons to cook for our Christmas Dinner on Sunday. We plan to go out tonight for dinner and to see Syriana. |
