An Early Christmas

Due to family circumstances, we celebrated Christmas today (Sunday). Tomorrow daughter works and then goes with her boyfriend to his house to celebrate Christmas with his family- husband is on call Christmas Eve and Christmas, so we may or may not see him. Wednesday both of them are back to work. Son will stay here until when(?) and then drive down to Georgia to see his peach. We got up, opened presents, snacked our way thru the midday; they all went to see I Am Legend while I finished getting dinner ready. At seven we had the big Christmas meal. One guest over. He had never seen a Wii in action, so we are having a round robin playing various games and having liquid Christmas cheer. We also had a tiny bit of rain, which we rejoiced in. We are anticipating tighter water restrictions this coming week. They had an article on the TV about how urine is sterile and not flushing is no big deal. And there was a local news station who had an on the street interview asking folks about what they felt about using a public toilet that had not been flushed. Most said, oh, anything to do our part,, but at least one lady was honest and said she thought it was a little bit gross. The new slogan is "if it's yellow, let it mellow". I think they could come up with something better- I have a few suggestions, but they likely wouldn't pass the censors. Merry Christmas to you and yourn. HA!

i wouldn't be able to use a public toilet that wasn't flushed, i can't help it. moreover, i'm always flushing the toilet after i said i wouldn't becasuse someone is in the shower. i forget not to and then you hear a scream because all he cold water has been diverted for the toilet and the person in the shower has now had a blast of boiling water. flushing is very much reflexive i think.

we did christmas similar to you, the baby, me and my guya ll went to see my family on sunday and on christmas eve we did our chirstmas and today (christmas day) we'll be doing christmas with his family and then we're all getting into the minivan and driving to indiana to see the elderly relations and introduce the baby.

it should be an okay trip, well as okay as 8 hours in a minivan with a crazy old bat and an infant can be.

i'm glad you had a nice holiday and got to see your kids. i hope they liked their gifts and i pray for rain so you can go to the toilet and flush all you want.

love,
jilly
