Dec 2015

when i add up everything from my husband, sister, mom and dad, i came away with: zombie slippers, an awesomely ugly griffyndor sweatshirt, a probe thermometer, a set of measuring spoons and small measuring cups, glass two- and four-cup measuring cups, an america's test kitchen cookbook, a couple katamari games for the ps3, a ps3 controller, bob ross socks, a printer/scanner and a handmade purse. i also got a whole lot of chocolate in my stocking. stocking had lots of chocolate and a $25 prepaid visa

we ate so much today. we had bagels and homemade lox with bloody marys for breakfast and dinner was brisket and potato kugel. there was good music playing, sister and i got tipsy and played games, husband napped and dad read.

now we're home, playing one of my games and having dessert of bourbon and chocolate.

today was a good day.
