valarltd | Quick update

We made it to The City safely. OK, there were about 125 miles where we did 35 mph. The weather was bitter cold, but clear. I-55 south of Ste. Genevive had not been plowed.

We had a spot of trouble in Concordia, where Dollface took a header into a block of ice. (She was running, and fell. It had fallen off of someone's fender) She's had a lump the size of an egg on her forehead, poor baby.

We saw Mom and Joe for a couple days. We went down and saw my sister and her kids. I can't remember the last time my mom had all 6 of her grandkids in the same room, and we've never managed it for Christmas.

We're at Dad's today. He did the whole turkey spread. My other sister called from her mom's. I told her the shirt she'd picked out for Bunny had induced full-on fangirl squee. (It's a black Malfoy baby-tee)

I helped assemble a 200 piece bionicle. ACK! But Obi is an old hand at it and it took us less than an hour. I came on to check my

yuletide story, but nobody loves me. ::sulk:: OTOH, my recipient liked hers a lot.

Between the rum with eggnog, and the Electric Reindeer merlot at dinner, I feel no pain. We're watching the Chiefs, and the kids are playing.

Happy Christmas to all and to all a good night.
