Today is the Twelfth Day of Christmas, and still no drummers drumming. Thank goodness, because I am taking down all the Christmas stuff today. Usually I wait until Epiphany to do so, but I have stuff going on tomorrow. Nothing like taking down lights while a cold front moves through to get you motivated to do it quickly.
I made some hot chocolate the other night with Ghirardelli, milk, and cream. I topped it off with one of these:
That’s right: Candy Cane Marshmallow Peeps, dipped in chocolate. DIVINE!!!
I hate the new “Related Pin” crap at Pinterest. Who the heck would think I would be interested in pickled Northern Pike?? I do like the blood orange margarita, though.
There is no end to laundry, ever.
I am a very patient person, except when waiting on packages from Amazon to arrive. Then I am stalking the mail carrier like a boss.
I made the mistake of wearing a red shirt when I went to Target©. That wasn’t as bad as being able to answer everybody’s questions, though.
And with that, hope y’all have a wonderful Sunday 😀

O.M.G. I missed those Peeps. I bet those are awesome in hot chocolate! I’ll have to try to remember to keep an eye out for them next year.

I still see some around here. They are FABULOUS!!

I would have walked around Target acting like I worked there, and then when someone came up to me with a question, act totally clueless.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
*takes notes* 😀

You mean like they normally do?
Aggie, did they offer you a job?
January 5th, 2014 at 8:47 PM
I wish they had! 😀

If you’re missing the racket of 12 drummers drumming, I have a 5-year-old I’m MORE than willing to donate to the cause.

Oh, and for the record, Serenity makes some AWESOME homemade marshmallows, including a peppermint flavored one. You’ll have to beg and grovel for a batch next year, though…she’s not big on patience or forgiving (overall) when people try to take advantage of her baking skillz and friendly offers.
January 5th, 2014 at 8:50 PM
If she offers, I am more than willing to eat some 😀
January 5th, 2014 at 8:49 PM
I ♥ your little one 😛
January 6th, 2014 at 7:08 PM
:blink:
I’m packing her bag as we speak!
January 7th, 2014 at 7:51 AM
Right, like Serenity would EVER give her up 😛
January 7th, 2014 at 8:11 PM
…if you could hear the “conversation” going on between them right now, I think you might be able to persuade her.
January 5th, 2014 at 8:26 PM
hmmmm …. red shirt at Target? Does that mean one of the said “red shirt” employees has to die at the end of every shift*?? (And good luck on your part for not dying either!!)
*You did get the Star Trek reference, did you?*

Get it? I OWN IT!!

“Who the heck would think I would be interested in pickled Northern Pike??”
Hey, watch it, lady. That’s the traditional Thanksgiving dinner for many people in northern Minnesota. 😛
January 6th, 2014 at 6:55 AM
HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
So many Puerto Ricans live there, too 😉

Eating pickled Northern Pike for Thanksgiving. I wonder if there is any correlation between consumption of that dish and the inability to realize, “hey, it’s gonna get colder than a mother-in-law’s kiss pretty soon, I’d better head south where it ain’t so damn cold.”
No wonder you guys have a group known as Minnesotans4globalwarming.

“Nothing like taking down lights while a cold front moves through to get you motivated to do it quickly.” That would motivate me not to put up any in the first place. Bah! Humbug! 😀
January 6th, 2014 at 4:57 PM
HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! In defense, Hubby insisted, so I insisted he be the one to take it down 😀

Get the plastic clips that attach the bulbs to your roof shingles. When you’re ready to take them down, you just grab one end and give it a good yank.
….then go buy a lot of replacement bulbs. But the strands come down in one heckuva hurry!
(in my defense….I only broke two bulbs this way)
January 7th, 2014 at 7:50 AM
Well, we don’t put up lights on the house, just the tree outside. So he used zip ties. Seemed to work, and no bulbs died so he has that going for him 😀
