Christmas at Lucky Uncle's

[cornerofmadness]

But first happy birthday to astridv! Hope it was a great day.

So today was spent watching Harry Potter and getting ready to go to Lucky Uncle's. My aunt is a peculiar creature. You do not a) offer to help (not to serve, not to clean) because she has to have total control and b) do NOT bring any food unless specifically asked. I think she made a tad too much food. Ham, turkey AND roast beef, green bean cassarole (she makes that very well) stuffing, mashed potatoes, corn, cauliflower (i.e. HER niece and nephew, as opposed to all those on Lucky Uncle's side (me) are picky so she made a jillion things) and the perogies mom and I brought (we were asked), dips, some kind of ice cream sherbert cake (very good) and a pumpkin cheese cake someone forgot to unfreeze.

Prejudice Girl was pretty good. It was helped along by the fact that my cousin brought banana moonshine (real shine, not the stuff in the stores, don't even want to know). I think it was not as high a proof as she thinks because I drank half a wine glass full and if that were 140 proof I should have been under the table and I wasn't even buzzed. It was yummy though.

I'm NOT thrilled Prejudice Girl asked my parents to throw a New Year's party. I swear if they say yes I'm going out for the night. I don't even like going out on New Year's.

Yay for food and drink!
Sounds like a good time.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

It was.

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Why can't she throw the party herself, if she wants one?

Yay for booze making things somewhat better.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

Because she's up here from NC staying at Aunt S2's house which is poorly designed for parties. Even though it's a big old house the rooms inside it are very small.

booze helps but now I'm up at 2:30 eating cookies because my sugar bottomed out so badly.

sounds like quite a spread! glad the prejudices chilled for the holidays

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Oops.

I had sugar for breakfast (all my good food went to Mom's and didn't come home with me). Tum isn't sure it likes that.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

I bet

my sugar rebounded to over 300

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

Yeah she only had one moment.

it was a spread

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Eeep.

I'm starving now, but I need to find food somewhere.

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Probably better than mine.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Much better than mine.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

no doubt though Mrs. T's are pretty good

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Mine are kind of old and somewhat freezer burned, but when you have nothing else in the house...

They're from GFS.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

I had an orange for supper.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Pizza sounds good, too.

Kinda. I don't know, I've not been very hungry since my stomach bout thing.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

pizza is always good (well mostly)

not uncommon

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Going to get Mexican from the place with the terrible art today, for lunch for Mom and me. Mmm. :D

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

I invited you here, but nooooo, you had to go home.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Excuses, excuses. We've got doctors here. (says Mom)

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Yeah, sure. Excuses.

Here, have a crunchy frog (http://news.yahoo.com/fanged-frog-species-gives-birth-live-young-203243968.html).

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

well that's different

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

I figured you'd find that interesting.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

It was

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

I wanted to know why they're 'fanged'.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

i'm not sure we know

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

I didn't see it in the article.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

me either

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Yeah, probably have to do our own research.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

that sounds harder than it sounds

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Or not. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limnonectes)

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

but it doesn't really say why

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

"They have larger teeth than normal frogs".

Which, considering Frogs don't have teeth, do they?

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

some do

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Obviously, these do, too.
