Aaaand up and getting ready for work.
Only 40 more hours before Christmas is done
I need to get my game plan together for post-Christmas Christmas
I'm really leaning towards prime rib and a roasted vegetable medley
Aaaand up and getting ready for work.
Clothes other way out, stoopid!

Only 40 more hours before Christmas is doneAnd far less time before that little Elf on the Shelf bastard goes back in his box for another year.
Those things are f@*%ing terrifying.

Yeah, what's up with them.
Is there a purpose?
What do they do?

John's aunt sent us a very nice Christmas care package with cookies and fresh fruit and whatnot. Sadly, the squirrels found it on the porch before I did.
excellent work, squirrels. Bring me the finest of the cookies, you may have what remains.

They spy on you for the government Santa. They report your every word and deed back to the NSA Guy in Red.

My roommate got me a 6-port USB charger for Christmas. Best gift ever. I am currently charging 3 e-readers, a tablet, a phone, and a Fitbit. At the same time!

Ah, we live in the age of miracles indeed.
T-37 work hours left and counting until Monday!
So I did a bit of adding up..
WHOI: 113 hours
Hospital: 48 hours
Bus driving: 22 hours
2-week total: 183
So 91.5 hrs/week. Not bad. I think that's a personal best actually...

Eh, they're not that bad. The big pain in the ass is finding some new place to put them every night, or forgetting to move them.
They're useful, though, as tangible "evidence" that Santa is watching. Since they report back to him EVERY NIGHT! Helps keep the beasts in line.
Basically, they're snitches.

If that doesn't work, you could always try this.
Well, tis officially the end of 'The Night before, the night before Christmas'.
Christmas shopping is done!
(Funny how that always manages to happen when I run out of money?) :/
Daughter baked and decorated a Christmas Cake and wrapped some presents for us.
Tomorrow,
there will be Christmas cookie baking and wrapping of presents.
Now,
It is midnight, and I have a headache. I am going to bed.
And NOT getting up in the frikkin' morning! :)
Good night Treehouse! :)

we will have my dad and his ladyfriend and my mother-in-law over for christmas dinner tonight, we make deer stew with bread dumplings / napkin dumblings whatever the right english term is
during our dinner in the dining room, the christ-child will stealthily place the gifts under the christmas tree in the libary (and I really hope the boy stays put and does not see the christ-childs striking resemblance to his dad)
after dinner the christ-child will ring the little golden bell in the tree and fly away - then hell breaks loose

after the Bescherung - "the handing out of christmas gifts" we will go to the traditional christmas showing of the villages volunteer-fire-fighters-marching-band
they play some christmas carols at a differnet street crossing each year
and we all sing silent night together, one year it did even start to snow during that
Merry Christmas Eve for all you monotheistic messianic worshippers out there!
25.5 hours left of my holiday work-a-thon. I'm pretty much done with WHOI, the last three shifts will be at the hospital. I'm hoping they are quiet.

I told the wife we need a fireplace, just so I can do this.

they are made by roasting cut down toast in butter, than mix taht with a dough from floar egg-yellow, salt and milk and gently pull the egg-white beaten stiff, under
then you wrap it in a napkin or a kitchen towel and put it in hot but not cooking waterfor 40 minutesbefore serving, slice it and roast the slices in butter

My roomie bought a whole bunch of food, then left for her son's place for the holidays. I was going to stash some of it in the freezer, but the freezer is absolutely crammed.
My meal plans are basically cleaning out the fridge before the food goes bad.
Christmas Eve: ham salad (which I don't like because of too much smoky flavor)
Christmas: BBQ beef (I will fancy this up by putting it in a crescent roll wreath with cheddar cheese.
Salad: mixed greens with homemade dressing
Dessert: Bread pudding made from stale bakery croissants. I simply can't eat all those croissants!
I might just have a wee dram with every meal to take the edge off.

Sounds delish, but then, German food is always amazing.
"Dumplings and flour doughs are used... with yeast as a propellant."
Why didn't NASA ever think of that? We could have had the Y-Drive.
Of course, back in the day we didn't have Elf on the Shelf. We had Belt on the Shelf.
Had that too. Not sure which is scarier. Probably the elf, by a slim margin.
"Dumplings and flour doughs are used... with yeast as a propellant."Why didn't NASA ever think of that? We could have had the Y-Drive.
Based on all of the YouTube videos I've seen, the Germans seem to have perfected the art of using yeast as propellant. For example.
GOOD MORNING CHRISTMAS EVE TREEFORTNAM!!!

To whomever gave me a Paizo gift certificate, thank you! That was very kind of you.
I shall have to find a PDF of unique undead to torture my players with.
I have ruined a batch of cookie bars. I failed to properly calculate the adjusted baking time when I doubled the recipe (and size of the pan). I took them out too soon, and now they are a giant mess. We have to leave soon for the family gathering, so I don't think I'll have time to fix this :(
No sticking back in the oven for an extra bit? I never trust ovens, their temps, or times. Always trust the toothpick in the center method

Howdy!
Sorry but I'm not even going to try with a 3000+ post backlog.
I hope everyone is doing well.
Hello! So good to see you. :)
Then I get a phone call, one of my old college gaming buddies/roommate just last night went to the hospital because he did not feel well.
He has stage 4 cancer.Can 2016 just be f@#$%ing over now?!? Please? -_-
Sorry to hear that.

It smelled really good, so it made it easy to find.
