O Holy Night am I busy.
I've got to work today but only until about 2 ish. Then later we're going to my mom's for Christmas Eve dinner. Then everyone will be here at my house tomorrow so I'll be cooking/prepping this evening and before/after present time. FINALLY got everything wrapped last night. All I've got to do now are the stockings.
My brother decided not to bring his new wife. Yessss! Happy happy joy joy.
Drew's mom is in the living room pigging out on HBO or Showtime and laughing at something that's on. It's really cute... I'm so glad she's having fun staying with us.
Merry Christmas, Cult! See y'all in a couple days. 
Merry Christmas, Alecia. Enjoy family time.
This is why we can't have nice things.
Merry Christmas Alecia!
I hope your brother's wife is at home cleaning up her pig pen. What is she going to do actually?
Merry Christmas Alecia, and all!
I glad you don't have to see the new wife and hope it turns out well that she isn't coming. (I am empathizing with you for real after this last week on that note)
Is a pretty box of fancy Christmas cookies an acceptable gift for my friends new husband? I got things for her and the kids but not for him and now I feel I should have something for him too.
Fuck, this water is delicious.
Everything's done, I only helped with the gingerbread house and the profiteroles. Mum made chicken soup, some silly dish with mayo, vegetables and cold pork boiled beforehand, an awesome lemon cake which I asked for and which smells delicious, a charlotte cake with pineapple and oranges, profiteroles and assembled the gingerbread house.
It's 8.20 pm and the tree isn't decorated yet. Oh and in case anyone wondered, our Christmas meal is tomorrow. Probably a late lunch, we'll have soup after they come back from church, and then mum will make the roast pork.
Lame.
The stocking are hung by the chimney rather more haphazard than is traditional, but fuck it; it's nog o'clock.
This is why we can't have nice things.
I'm looking forward to tomorrow, I hope this cold is gone by then. I'm on my own this Christmas Eve. Boyfriend just left for his house. I'm shiiiit company and will probably be in bed soon so not too bothered about being alone. I ordered a spicy pizza, hope I'm not going to throw up, rock on xmas time!
EDIT: Yeah I think I'm way too sick to eat this pizza. I felt a bit better when I ordered it but no way can I face eating anything. Bummer!!!!
Hope you feel better soon, Amii.
It's xmas day!
West Coast Culties.
One for the people in Oregon, we all drink, we all live in a small city, why in the hell have I never met any of you.
and two California Culties. I may be traveling down there at some point again. Maybe it will just be a long driv or I may have a job trimming(legaly!) So that means I will be in your area. So that means we need to get drinks.
Fuck it lets open a Cult bar.
As your attorney, my advise to you is to start drinking heavily(er).-Tuffy
I feel a bit better now because I threw up a lot. Then I managed to eat a bit of pizza and all the jalapenos have helped. Aaaaah. I still feel a bit crap but for the moment much, muuuuch better. Merry Christmas Rosie!!!
Taking a break from cleaning and cooking and decorating and drinking (okay, not that last one) for just a moment before my friends show up.
I still have too many pies to make and cookies to cut out and bake and presents to wrap and my goodness!!!!!!
My sisters just went out for ultimate last minute shopping. I don't even know what's going to be open at this point. I guess I'll find out when they get back.

Chenoa! I adore you! I hope your Christmas is blissful!
Also, I will buy drinks for Noah and/or Amber given half a chance!
Feel good, Amii!
This is why we can't have nice things.
Cult road trip?
As your attorney, my advise to you is to start drinking heavily(er).-Tuffy
After months of not leaving the house, except to amble about madly at night, I was just in a Wal-Mart, and I don't recommend that shit to anyone. I had forgotten what a freak show it is.
Why would you ever go to walmart. The last time I went there I just changed all the price signs on everything and kept picking up high price items and messing the security.
And yelling at people who liked to glare at me. It was terrible and fun.

I picture Dan leaving The Cave once a year to F with WalMart on Christmas Eve. It seems right. I'm down with it.
This is why we can't have nice things.
Holy shit. This beer tastes like bubblegum. I blame Pepper.
A haiku for The Ages.
This is why we can't have nice things.
Of course it is all my fault.
What on earth beer is that?
I'm drinking grownup eggnog and might switch to beer on a moment or minute. pecan pie almost finished, rib roast about to head into the oven.
I have these fruit/gift baskets to make for all these people.
I'll have drinks with you Tuff, given half a chance!
And Noah, not my fault we haven't had drinks yet!
New Belgium Abbey Ale. After brushing my teeth. Just like bubblegum.

We should open a Cult bar in every time zone! I'm totally down for that. For serious.
Alicia, that is indeed a great Christmas gift
Tuffy, I was watching the Royal Ballet. I think she was breed into it. Like the Russians do.
Pepper, you are making me get really hype for Christmas. Your productivity is infectious. Thank you!
ALL CULTIES, thank you so much for allowing me to join your fam, I <3 you guys!
Newgirl, you are a good addition to our out of line misfit collective. Have you gotten your Cult brand yet?
Its Tuffy's face, most people get in on their bum.
As your attorney, my advise to you is to start drinking heavily(er).-Tuffy
I have no idea what Tuffy looks like. But if I did get it, I would tat it over my own face.
No no. My face on your ass is plenty.
This is why we can't have nice things.
Merry Christmas everyone!
Figgy Pudding!
This is why we can't have nice things.
I love all of you.
I love you,too.
And I love you.
And, I want you to know, I really do love you. I do. <3
That's what she said.
Ugh. Not enough red wine to sleep through Festivus. This is my complaint.
pepper, I love you too!!
Well, anyway, you know what I (used to) look like.
Now put it on your ass.
This is why we can't have nice things.
I'm thinking it will look good in a henna colored ink, on the upper thigh. I adore the old fashioned single color ink work. Line work is an art form of itself. Or maybe just traditional blue.
What's everyone getting for Christmas? I know one of my presents is pajamas. Hope they're soft and fleece, so I can wear them everywhere on Christmas day.
I like all of you.
Sema, you're cool.
Merry Christmas, everybody!
I asked for socks and underwear.
So I'm getting socks and underwear.
This is why we can't have nice things.
You're cool beans too, Irina! You know my family only got 3 cards this year. Yours was one. It's under the tree, with Christmas monkey holding it and a grocery gift card.
Time to try and go to bed again,...try and find "Cold Comfort Farm" movie, on Netflix, to sleep to or more likely finish watching "Auntie Mame".
I got sheets and a duvet (100% cotton) from the bloke. I'm happy,it's whats I asked for. I just wish he'd bothered to wrap it and put it under the tree.
It's been an ok day. Being preggers at xmas sucksarse. 2 effing years in a row.
The lemon cake was awesome! I got a lot of candy from mum and dad, including a Kinder Surprise! Yay!
James is drunk. Leaning over in a chair lay him down on the couch and give him water and tell him if he has to spew it is okay and will make him feel better drunk. Poor guy.
Guy never drinks, had a pint of Jameson to himself. Plus beer and rum.
Wrapping presents with my mom.
I can't wait for rum tomorrow night when I'm seeing my friends to exchange gifts.
My mom and I just wrapped, unwrapped, rewrapped, unwrapped and rewrapped again the same present because we are a little lit up ourselves and we didn't label it right away and kept not knowing what it was and who it was for.
silly lit up us.
Oh dear, poor James. I hope his head doesn't hurt too bad tomorrow.
Today was so stinking hot. We all had a swim in the school pool across the road from the brother and sister in-laws. We told them our news. I think they were shocked. She's due in May. Lucy was awesome today. Super happy and charming.
I have two questions.
1. Is it "The US does" or "The US do"?
2. What do you call this kind of building? It's only for people, no commercial/business offices.
The US does. When we speak of "The United States" even though it's a plural word, it's generally used as a singular. Like, the US refers to the country as a whole, and there is only one country.
My friend Delaney's Aunt is a phychic. Like a high end gets $50 a minute or something. Huge nice house. Like overly nice. So she must be doing something right.
Well she said she is going to help train me and hone my skills. She also seemed a little freaked out by me, a little worried about the things that I carry with me. She told me should would be cleaning her house out as soon as I left.
Maybe I am crazy but I am going to enjoy it.
As your attorney, my advise to you is to start drinking heavily(er).-Tuffy
Irina, that is what we call an Apartment Building. Or Condominiums, perhaps.
Turkey is stuffed and in the oven. Wrapping paper cleared up. I'm ready for a nap.
We call those blocks.
Our roast pork was delicious, it marinated 8 hours in wine with cloves, nutmeg and black pepper and it was awesome. We had mashed potatoes and Merlot on the side, and then I had more charlotte cake.
I had a good Christmas
My oldest friend got engaged today. For most of my life we've been best friends (as have our mothers), but over the past few years, we've both made other friends who are just as close. I wonder if I'm still going to be her maid of honour. She's still mine.
...God that sounds needy!
15?
I had no idea she was 15. Well, shows how much attention I pay to stuff.
