Merry Christmas --- tipsy musings
It's a tad past 9:30 pm (my time, heheheh) and I've wandered upstairs, wine glass in hand leaving a house strewn from end to end with bits and shards of giftwrap and ribbon, cracker crumbs and paper plates.
It was a nice day, of 70 or so degrees [THANK YOU, JAYSUS], house full of family and conversation. The twins were on overload, with a pile of boxes to shred and wanting to play RIGHT NOW with the toy just upwrapped. Their great-grandparents got them a Tonka firetruck and a Hummer, an immediate hit.
Whoa. 4 Generations and the twins will grow to know their greatgrandparents. How cool is that?
I rearranged all the furniture on the first floor so we wouldn't be stepping on one another -- it worked! Damn, I may just keep it this way. Or not. f*ck.
No work tomorrow. Save to nursing the hangover I know I'm going to have. Or maybe. I've been on high alert all day and until the last hour it's been impossible to get me tipsy, let alone drunk no matter what I've been drinking. Jenn made peppermint martinis earlier (I tried some)... I've spiked my hot wassail with rum (generously) and then I've been drinking wine all along.
Hey, I wanted a buzz and couldn't get it!! Argh. Stoooopid metabolism. But I'm kinda there now as the crowd has left and the day winds down.
Most of all, it's been a pretty damned nice day. Only one present lost (what the hell... I bought it where did it go?) amongst the pile, no fights, no arguments and little major drama.
Ok. With the excitement, Sean wet his pants...as he was sitting on Heather's lap. Otherwise...no bruises, no blood, no cops.
Screw my glass. I'm going to go find the rest of the wine bottle and drink it direct, turn on the last of the marathon A Christmas Story and make a concerted effort to push myself from "tipsy" to "drunk."
Hope you all had a great Christmas or a wonderful Hanukkah!
See you tomorrow (and if this post survives.)
