Dear Friends and Family,
We spent part of the weekend with old friends from the Motor City doing our teeth cleaning thing. P did SO much better on this car trip than she did on the one six months ago. We left Thursday night, ~9 PM and she slept the whole way over. Then, on the way back, we left ~4:30 PM and she slept most of the way back (we stopped at dinner time for all three of us). Yeah for P!
Friday, we went to the dentist. Then, we ate lunch at one of our favorite delis - loading up on bread and butter to bring home. We tried a $200/lb ham ($8 for our serving size) and a $125/lb ham ($5 for our serving size) and had fun comparing the taste, texture, etc. of the two. The flavor is intense and goes a long way. Me? I preferred the cheaper of the two - it was more for fun than anything else.
After lunch, we picked up our annual Christmas ornament. We debated, briefly, picking up a separate ornament for P. Then, we decided not to. Since, eventually, one day, all of our ornaments will be hers. A quick sprint to load up on gear for dinner, and we were over at our friends' house noshing on french fries, potato skins, pumpernickel bread with dip, pizza and chinese spare ribs. Dessert? chocolate cake. Yumminess. Yes, it's an odd combination. But, we all had fun which is the important part.
Saturday, we lingered longer than planned, catching up with a friend over dim sum, so we didn't get Christmas cards/tree done like we originally planned. The cards may not go out until January - we're falling behind on our to do list and I'm beginning to re-prioritize to maintain my sanity.
Sunday, we did the bulk of our Christmas shopping. This year, Mr. mouse and I decided not to get each other anything. Instead, we'll be making a couple of charitable donations. Time to research worthy causes.
Cheers!
