The wonder of it all, good, bad and ugly
Hi all. The good news is that most of the shopping is completed, most of the packages are wrapped, I love the anemic, scraggly Christmas tree with its lights, breakfast is finished, dishes are washing in the dishwasher, I have all the ingredients I need to make a couple more pies, sugars cookies and a pound cake, and we're not completely broke (but working on it!). The bad news is that my adult daughter is cranky, hubby is running way behind, the "devil kitty" peed on my coffee filters and my long anticipated breadmaker arrived with its lid shattered, not unused as promised, and totally headed for the trash heap. The ugly is the picture I'm posting regarding the aforementioned breadmaker! Am I still fortunate? Yes. Am I still appreciative of all that I have? Yes. Do I wish I could afford to do more for others? Yes. Am I basically contented? Surprisingly, yes.
I'm posting a picture of our over priced, asymmetrical, gangly Christmas tree, the fractured/broken wanted but unusable breakmaker and the devil kitty who used our coffeemaker filters as her own private litter box.
Merry Christmas to yall. Apos, you are about 17 hours ahead of me here in Sunny Florida; you must be on the east coast of Australia? Girl, it's about 5:00 a.m. Christmas morning where you are, best I can tell; it's almost 11:00 a.m. here on Christmas Eve. The time zone differences and the difference in seasons still tend to fascinate me.
