Serioulsy, A Teacup?!?

I had a really fabulous weekend. It was snowy and cold, as December should be, and it was fun to stay inside and be all snuggly together. We have Season 2 of Big Love from the library, so we watched some episodes of that. I love that show, it makes me want to be a polygamist.

We spent Friday night with Jessica, exchanging gifts. She had great food out, as always, and we ate and drank and did this thing on the internet that tells you which celebrities you look me. (Me = 71% like Beyonce. I'll take it!)
Saturday we spent shopping (for ourselves, not others) during the day and we just chilled that night. Old Crow Medicine Show was going to be on Austin City Limits on PBS at midnight. We tried to stay up to watch that, but when it came on OCMS wasn't the first band on, and I gave up and went to bed. Chris was already passed out because he was drunk. Hee! He was making gin and tonics, and at one point I watched him make one and he was using a TEACUP for a measuring device. Like, each G&T contained one teacup of gin and one teacup of tonic. I love that crazy bastard.

Sunday we spent cleaning and hanging out. We stopped by Joanna's and she gave us some awesome cookies that she made, a modification of my awesome oatmeal chocolate chip cookies. (She subbed pecans and cranberries for the chocolate and butterscotch chips, with fabulous results.) That evening we had our friend John over for dinner. We had salmon and butternut squash. After we ate he picked up his son and brought him over and we played XBOX and schooled him in the ways of the old video games. He is a great kid, and plays a mean game of Centipede now.

I worked today, because we didn't have it off and I wasn't going to take a vacation day when we weren't going anywhere. We have a Christmas Eve open house to go to tonight, and then tomorrow we're having Christmas dinner for 8 (plus 2 kids) at our place at 2pm. So I have to be kind of good tonight, cooking hung over is no fun. Melody and Jeff are bringing their XBOX controllers over tomorrow and we're going to have a 4-way Tetris tournament. Can you say "nerdiest Christmas ever?"
