7 lbs. of cheese - smoked cheese, dill weed cheese, colby longhorn cheese, swiss cheese, & cheddar cheese

6 lbs. filet mignon

peanut brittle & a bottle of wine, gifts from my neighbors :)

The day is young. Gifts are under the tree still. I wish for nothing but empty boxes.  I'll probably be disappointed. 

On the plus side of Christmas day in the morning, it is raining a little.  Expecting 3" but I truly believe our weathermen/women like to exaggerate the precipitation factor.  

Mother, sister, bro-in-law, son will be here.  I'll hit the egg nog early.  Lola has a limp this morning and it breaks my heart.  Hopefully it is her sporadic arthritis and is only a manifestation of the dampness on her 6 1/2 year old labrador legs.   Don't even talk to me about that stinkin' Marley movie.  Bah.  Cute young blond couples and a cute blond puppy, hijinks ensue and the dog dies.  The end.

Sigh.

Onward to 2009.  I can take it.  Really.  I can.

Susan, who really should try harder to be Merry today.

Leather Jacket (from Target, but its nice; doesn't make me look like I'm in The Clash or a skymall bomber jacket), Ryobi electric hand sander, smoked salmon, and a knit hat.

 Dinner turned out great- will post in the Calling All Chef's thread.

Happy Holidays, everyone!

Merry Holidays Everyone!

I got the LIME GREEN SET! So far, my only gift. Good enough for me.

Portland, OREGON is snowed in, there was no time for shopping of any sort. Luckily yesterday while walking in the snow I found a German Deli that was open. I also got yummy Dill Havarti cheese, whiskey chocolats, the most delicious bread and other goodies that saved Christmas. Still stuck indoors, but now I have hundreds of hours of DL fun to enjoy!

Yeah, mon.
