LadyCrimson Posted December 22, 2014 Posted December 22, 2014 Last page of previous thread And the daily "whatcha doing?" goes on! ...do they still drop the "apple" in NYC on NY's Eve? I grew up watching that via the D. Clark specials. I don't really have a bucket list, but if I did, seeing that in person might be one of the things on it. I have a feeling it wouldn't excite me that much, but still...I'd like to see it once. 2 “Things are as they are.

LadyCrimson Posted December 22, 2014 Author Posted December 22, 2014 All this talk of gyms and my lack of appetite made me go for a long morning hike. Sunny winter day, refreshing! Now to clean the mud off my hiking boots and go back to being a lazy fart. 3 “Things are as they are.

Woldan Posted December 22, 2014 Posted December 22, 2014 (edited) Bought my mother a Christmas present, also new Logitech G35 headphones and a new weight scale. Found out that I weigh a whooping 100 kilograms / 220 lbs now, I've never weighed so much in my life. I feel kind of heavy too but as long as I can see my abs.... Edited December 22, 2014 by Woldan I gazed at the dead, and for one dark moment I saw a banquet.
Gromnir Posted December 22, 2014 Posted December 22, 2014 I've been walking around this morning telling the kids it's cleaning day. They seem less than thrilled. Motivate them with a sharpened stick. isn't the whole point o' christmas that parents get a month or so during which they can threaten children with the spectre o' a grim christmas if they end up on the fat man's naughty list? ok, we know the actual point o' christmas is for retailers to sell off inventory before the end of the year, but the carrot v. stick approach must be in the top ten, no?

LadyCrimson Posted December 23, 2014 Author Posted December 23, 2014 Sounds like a nice feast, ShadySands. I weeded/raked the front yard a bit. I can only ever do "a bit" because the yard waste bin is full after doing an area about the size of a smallish bedroom (more if you do a very haphazard job of it but) etc. It's a constant catch-up where you never catch-up and over time you care less and less about even trying to catch-up and go **** it.

Hurlshort Posted December 23, 2014 Posted December 23, 2014 My wife's family is making tamales tomorrow as well.
ShadySands Posted December 23, 2014 Posted December 23, 2014 (edited) Yeah, we use lard which is the main reason we only eat them a couple days out of the whole year Bought the rest of the supplies for our Christmas Eve/post birthday (best for last) dinner.

LadyCrimson Posted December 23, 2014 Author Posted December 23, 2014 At the grocery store last week I bought this 32 ounce bottle of some premade coffee drink. I normally don't like coffee, but occasionally like mocha's so thought I'd try it. It's been in the fridge unopened. Since I didn't sleep, I thought this morning would be a good time to try it (vs. my Diet Dew), for the extra jolt. Tasted all right, not too sweet, more coffee taste than most similar drinks, and I drank more than half the bottle without much thought, because I was sorta thirsty. Then I read the label. 50mg caffeine for only 8oz. All righty then, I should be more awake soon. 2 “Things are as they are.

Hurlshort Posted December 23, 2014 Posted December 23, 2014 I re-booked my room for my Vegas trip for the 5th time after finding even lower rates. I decided to upgrade to the Octavius Tower since the prices were so good ($119 a night) and I'm pretty excited about that. I also booked a couples massage for a king's ransom. 1
