They Who Shall Not Be Named (Twisnibbins) VIII (Page 18)

haha thats what I said!

I guess he has my number!

actually this morning he was searching for clips to post in response to the peanut butter song Noz posted

it was pretty funny

from the sounds of it, you have made the best of the situation and have created your own little family to celebrate with

speaking of, have you decided on the menu yet?

Dude...you live in California...come visit MN in December...talk about HU...

Peanut Butter song?

OMG... It's genetic!!!!!!!!!!

Does this mean all of our kids will get it too??????

or NE - of course he's from Iowa originally

So, we're getting a lovely ice storm here

schools are called off, so my daughter was going to go to a friends to spend the night, she took 5 steps down the front sidewalk and came right back in -

Well I guess I could give yu some persepctive... I ahvent seen my bro for 2 years or my mum for 2.5 years...

But the truth is... I still LOVE christmas, something you know about me! What I wanted to tell you was simply that.. christmas is different without family but it can still be magical.. dont give up on it!

this week's swim stuck in your head song is peanut butter jelly time.

It's icy everywhere.  Fell off the sidewalk at church... the I almost fell again as this old lady is trying to hoist me up by my music bag... just let me GO!!!

yeah, I'm afraid so!

OMG - I'm just picturing that!

r u ok?

I'm sorry, but that's really funny. 'Scuse me. Yeah, are you okay?

to which I (or more acurately my son) replied with

This may be even more annoying than Noz's song

Lala Hoo Hoo

I think so....

Breakfast: Home made scones with jam and cream, fruit salad, berry yoghurt parfaits, homemade cappuccino chip or banana chip muffins, croissants, spreads, champagne and fruit juice... maybe banana bread...although Im still looking for suggestions!

Lunch: Rolled Pork Loin with crackling, Rolled Chicken breast with orange and macadamia stuffing, rolled turkey breast with cranberry and walnut stuffing, bean and asparagus with haxelnuts nad cranberries, potato salad, warm tomato salad, peas with butter and garlic, carrots with orange plus maybe a potato salad and green salad for some non hot option.

Dessert: Pavlova, Tiramisu, Choc Strawberry ice cream terrine, custard flan with berries plus some side stuff - mousse, custard, cream and a selection of home made gingerbread, shortbread, belgian biscuits, home made truffles (lots of flavours like peppermint, marshmellow, toffee, orange, coconut, triple choc etc), lolly cake ..  I have a list but that kind of thing...

Sound good?

Well...this is said...I catch up on all the posts and it's time for me to go to bed...wouldn't want me to miss my swim tomorrow...

Nighty night nibbins...

THAT is fricken hilarious.  Let's see if that's in my head when swimming at 5:45 am tomorrow.

We DO need music at our pool.

ROTFLMAO

so much for multi-tasking - I may need to take lessons from Sal

I am working on this #%&*($#^^^$*$%#  Request for Proposal and I accidently pasted the link to Lala Hoo Hoo into the document

I wonder how the vendors would have replied to that!

Nighty Night Sal!

swimmy swim swim!!!!

that sounds awesome!!!!

let me see, between now and Dec 22 do I have enough time to get an extra job to make enough money to come spend christmas day with you.....................assuming of course you have room for one more

I like the spirit, the concept... I guess since Ive been on my own it means spending time with people I like and want to be with. It means celebrations with friends, going out for drinks and generally being appreciative of what you have...it means keeping up traditions from happy times and talking on the phone with people youve lost touch with...

Im not strongly religious but thats not hte magic of it... I love christmas movies, I love the fact that its not about presents... its about magic, and imagination and belief in something that cannot be explained, it means celebration and togetherness which is so often missed in this world... and it means taking time to contact people who have meant something to you... even if you dont talk to them any other time of the year...

Maybe I cant explain it... but it means a lot to me... it really does!

Oh my GWAD you need to send me some pavlova!!!
