Well.. I'm upright, which is something to celebrate in my books. I spent most of the day asleep or baking vegan cookies and brownies with my gorgeous downstairs neighbor, letting the kitties run around and teaching her how to crochet. Oh. I think that sounds old. *laugh* It really was terribly posh and wonderful. The only time I left was to hit our fabulous organic food market (Planet Organic) and to pick up Mr. Almost Poshlust and a few gifts. I'll post the recipe for the cookies in a bit - they really are so posh.
It was a wonderfully relaxing day, and I think just what the universe ordered. I feel like my brain has been in such a hurry and my body has just been unable to catch up. Ever since my car accident I've been sore, and as of yesterday I was just bowled over by the flu or something like it. (maybe just nausea at the thought of another Christmas party? No.. I'm joking..) It was good to just breathe and bake and eat fabulous veggie curry and Noel Nog (Soy Good's equivalent of Egg Nog - with all honesty, I couldn't tell the difference in the least! So for all ye vegans and veggetarians? Go hard on the Noel Nog!) and bean salad. It was perfect.
Expecially since I was out until 10 o'clock last night! That's the latest I've been up since I had a nap from 9-9:30 pm and had to pee. We went to a very sweet Christmas Party at Miriam and Greg's last evening, complete with harmonized choral style Christmas Carols that made me feel a titch inadequate with my down home country voice. I've perfected a twang that really doesn't fly with Silent Night. So instead I ate lots of food that was created and prepared by another one of our uber talented friends Adriene. Have to say, among all the viola players, music teachers, cooks, singers and piano players, I just didn't feel that my witty repartee cut it. ;-) At least I was best dressed. *sigh* Yeah. Second Place! First of the Losers!

There was this fascinating little baby creature there, where at 16 monthes was running around, eating little goat cheese tartlets and petting the cat and was frankly better behaved than some of my friends. How do you luck out and get one like that? *smile* She was perfect, and her name was Isabella. (I never give out my precious saved baby names.. not since the last time somebody poached my last favourite at work.. damn operators.. so shifty..) I fell in love with her, and was ready to pack her into my oversized blue purse.
So, no lie, I've finished all my Christmas shopping and wrapping and plotting. Everything is under the tree. I've never stressed so much about Christmas in my life. I think I might have developed a small ulcer. Hopefully the Noel Nog patches that up. *laugh* I'm happy to be finished now. I'll package up my Christmas cookies tomorrow for my friends, and finish knitting my scarf for my beautiful neighbor, and I'll be able to relax for the next 4 days before Christmas. The pluses of starting early! *laugh*
If anyone is looking for a new short film to watch (and really.. who isn't?) Check out "The Bar" by Richard Stern. It's a very witty, very sweet little film, and the music is fantastic. For a slightly strange, completely different taste, check out "Chocolate Girls" by Justin Whiteman. It's very.. Republican. Leaves a strange taste on your brain buds, but is worth the watch. Mr. Almost Poshlust and I watched them this evening, and we both really enjoyed them.
Alright my lovelies - I'm all caught up! I think I'll go back to sleeping.. I need some energy! I'll get some bananas tomorrow. That always helps. *smile* Sleep tight! Ciao!
