Yesterday the stomach bug made an appearance at our house. I woke up in the middle of the night with the worst nausea, stomach pains, and muscle aches. Of course, my first thought when I wake up with nausea is dear God, am I pregnant? I sent Matt to the gas station at 8 a.m. for a pregnancy test and my womb is indeed empty. I spent the day curled up in a ball watching TV. I watched so much TV I was getting sick of it, unusual for me. I am feeling a bit better this morning and am at least mostly functional.
Sunday evening we celebrated Christmas with our dear friends, The Tacketts. Nathan made pot pies with Indian food (Mattar Paneer) as the filling. They were fabulous.
Nathan did a happy dance when they came out of the molds and stayed together. We had a lengthy discussion at dinner on all the things we could put into pot pie form. We ate our pot pies , drank Riunite Lambrusco, and took note of our unusual Christmas celebration.
Lily wanted to make dessert with her new Easy bake oven. She is well aware of how much the little packets of mix cost. She spoke on the phone with me earlier in the day and let me know that she would have a jar for donations if we ate her brownies.
The brownies.. well.. How could anything cooked with a light bulb taste bad?
After a dance party that would have made Fergie jealous we opened gifts and I received what could be one of my favorite gifts of all time.
I needed an apron and this one cracks me up. Jeni made this on Cafe Press, it is perfect. I can already picture me wearing this while using my new Ninja…
One of my gifts to Jeni was, well, a little inappropriate. I mean, if someone has to open their gift in the bathroom with the door shut should you really give it? I vote yes.
You can guess what it says followed by an explosion noise. Don't get me wrong, neither Jeni or I go around throwing out the F bomb on a regular basis, but there are times when it just comes out… So now if she is feeling frustrated she can go in her closet, shut the door, and literally drop the F bomb a few times and feel much better. I am such a thoughtful friend.
