Were heading to the seniors center.
I was looking forward to snuggling up and watching Christmas movies tonight but my Pap called and asked if I was up for some square dancing. I'm firm in my belief that if your 89 year old grandfather asks you to dance, you dance.
He's been my dance partner for 29 years and I'm still no good but he doesn't seem to mind. I've just got to fight the old ladies off because as I was told the last time "when you get to be our age there aren't many men left who can move their hips like that!"
off we go, how about you?

We’re in bed watching Blue Bloods. I’m drinking ice water and eating peanut M &Ms. So exciting!

Aw, I love the sound of your evening plans, Steph.
I want to wrap a few more gifts, but plan on spending most of the evening under a blanket and watching movies. I just noticed that Collateral Beauty is on HBO, so we’ll start with that.

Eating Thai food (take-out, not cooked in my Instant Pot  ) and watching "The Sound of Music". My dd texted me from work this afternoon to say "Mom! We have to watch "The Sound of Music" tonight!" hahaha I asked why. She said "because it was in the Ballet I playlist for today and now it's stuck in my head!" lololol (she teaches dance) |

Nothing nearly as exciting as you are that's for sure! We are taking DD, 2 of her long time friends out for a nice dinner tonight at Brennan's. As an added bonus, the new boyfriend (and apparently serious!) of one girl is coming along! None of us have met him so looking forward to that.
Have a great time square dancing!

A quiet evening at home. We barbecued a chicken, and we decided that Christmas dinner couldn't beat it.
I love that you are spreading some joy and sharing fun!

it's hopping in here! #partyanimals That looks amazing!!! Have fun. As for me I'm home chillin playing with my new nook ereader. I painted the town red (yeah right) with my book nerd friends (which consisted of the 6 of us talking about why we should never read "The Cursed Child" over some crazy Texas punch with three different liquors and lemon juice). It was a complete blast but apparently one night of of coming home at 1am is enough for these old bones. ETA. Watching hand jive on "Grease" for the millionth time. I hate ChaCha DiGregorio. |

Aww Steph! I am jealous of your plans!
Its 7:10 at my house, and have had a shower and am now snuggled up in bed getting ready to watch movies. DH is trying to come down with something and we're hoping some much needed rest will help him kick it.

I'm firm in my belief that if your 89 year old grandfather asks you to dance, you dance. I have good memories of polka dancing with my grandpa at the dance hall. He may have been old, but he had the energy of a young man, and he loved to dance. Tonight I'm taking it easy. My husband had his office holiday party tonight but I didn't feel up to going. Which is fine, because it isn't anywhere near as big of a deal as it has been in years past. Since so many of his coworkers and their extended families lost so much in hurricane Harvey, his company prioritized yearly bonuses over a huge bash this time. They're having a meal, service awards, retirement announcements, commendations, etc... and that's it. No dancing, no door prizes, no open bar. It was open to spouses if they wanted to come but I decided to pass on it. So, I've been browsing online and am about to get offline, fix some tea, and crochet until he gets home. We have a busy day tomorrow. |

Sitting in my TV room in my PJs, with a blanket wrapped around me, listening to Christmas music, drinking coffee and Baileys, and putzing around on my Surface.

DD made coomies with salted caramel chips this afternoon and now we are.going to watch National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation. StephDRebel my grandparents are all gone but last weekend we went to the Christmas supper hosted by the local seniors centre. I loved chatting with them all but we're in a small community and I know most of them so it was nice to see so many of them. I hope you had a nice time with your Pap! |

Have fun with your Pap.
We're cooking tonight. DH made potato-leek soup which is to die for. My 14 year old DD is on her second cup. Now he's making pork chop pizzaola (sp) which smells divine.
Youngest DD is in bed because she has a 7 o'clock soccer game in the morning.

Just finished sending in a boat-load of files/stories to the paper, since we're working up 2 issues at once.
Taking a break now to crochet on a Christmas present. Haven't decided which one yet.
I figured out how to make a spotify account and have been listening to John Denver & the Muppets and The Messiah all day.

I had a really good night (it's now 2am here.) I spent the first part of the evening watching the final of Strictly Come Dancing with my DD in hospital. Thankfully the other three women in her ward were all Strictly fans too, so no-one was talking over it! And my favourite contestant won. I came home just after 9pm, got changed into my party clothes and went to the 50th birthday party of one of my dearest friends. There were so many people there I hadn't seen in so long, and it was wonderful catching up. I just got home about half an hour ago, and need to wind down a bit before I go to sleep! |

How fun StephDRebel! It's a Christmas miracle at our house, with all family members home so we are going to watch our first Christmas movie of the season, Elf, of course. But first we are watching the Chargers game. DH's company party for the field employees was today and they do a tailgate style meatfest at their warehouse. He's been up since 4 roasting a couple of whole lambs and I joined him a couple hours later to help get other things set up. My feet are killing me and I'm too tired to get up for the glass of wine I really want. |

The Christmas movies are on and I'm nursing this cold, but I feel the New Moon tomorrow is showing that today is my last bout with it. Boy-friend wants me and dd to go shopping but maybe tomorrow night.
