things getting kinda...dreamy
I'm watching my new Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix DVD. The one Christmas gift I asked for and got. Nothing else is on TV except for that documentary about the 28 year old "unordained Catholic youth minister" that uses shock tactics on teenagers.
Personally, I get a strong "AntiChrist" vibe about him. He sounds like he's drunk or stoned most of the time and says some really creepy things like "Jesus would kill this little baby right here to show how much he loves you" and has people hit him in the back with folded metal chairs while he's "preaching" to kids.
In short, the guy creeps me out and I don't want to watch anything about him.
I do have to admit that I'm a teeny bit under the influence, albeit legally. I've got a migraine again, and caffeine and Tylenol didn't work, so I took the Max-Alt hoping that it would do the trick. I'm definitely woozy, anyway. LOL My head seems to be easing up.
I do want to say that I think my sister gave me a re-gift she got at work. It was about 5 Avon Skin-so-Soft products. She knows I go absolutely nuts in Bath and Body Works, so why would she go to the trouble of ordering a bunch of Avon stuff for me? Answer: she wouldn't. So I had to put on a phony "Ohhhh thank you!" for some stuff I can't even return for something I like. Oh well, that's how Christmas is.
Hee hee. My brother gave me something I did actually want. We went to Jackson because our sister had specifically requested satin pajamas from Penney's, and they didn't have them here. I found them and got her black satin pjs and a matching robe. (She was unhappy with the XL sizing... but I'd tried them on and I had to have XXL for myself. Wore them last night and they fit just right - who the hell would want tight satin pjs, anyway? Nobody.) It was a good deal on them all - 50% off - so I just about got a set for myself. Then I told my brother, hey, why don't you get me the pajamas for Christmas? I went back to get the robe for myself, and he kinda caved in and decided to get the robe for me too.
I don't think he wanted to spend another $15 for the robe, but it probably would have made him look a little cheap if I spent the whole $30 on our sister, and he just got me half the set. LOL Really, it wouldn't have made a difference to me - I'd have been glad to buy myself the robe. Whatever, you know? It was Christmas, and the whole budgeting thing is not a concern for me anymore.
At least all the cooking I did wasn't a waste of my time. :) That does make me happy. My brother was so thrilled that I made him chess squares that he jumped up in my arms and nearly knocked me down. Mom and the kids really enjoyed the fudge I made (and I sent her home with a plateful of chess squares and fudge too). Everybody liked the Chex mix and the peanut butter cup cookies. The kids also seemed to like the Puppy Chow I made too, though it took a little explaining for them to trust me that it wasn't really dog food, but Chex with peanut butter, chocolate, and powdered sugar. LOL
And everybody loved the boiled custard. :) Lots of smiles on that one, so I guess that the 2 1/2 hours it took to make it were worth it after all. At least now I know that I need to do a water bath, and not a real double boiler, to make it thicken faster. Matt really raved about it - he said it was the first time he'd had it, and he loved it. My dad and brother said it tasted just like Grandmother's. It should - it was her recipe. hahahaha I brought some back home with me, and I've been enjoying it myself.
