Spoiled rotten...who me?




Yep, I got spoiled again. I'm not gonna fib....I LIKE IT !




Poor Bobby Knight had to deal with me on Christmas morning. I got up at fifteen mintues after three AM.....(that's when I used to get home from the bars !!) and went out in the living room and just stared at all my presents. I really wanted to peek, but I thought since I had made it to Christmas morning I better not ruin the surprises...AND I DID WAIT ! I didn't even squish my stocking or do alot of box shaking !




That Bobby, he's a smart one. He "taped" my presents to inside of the box, so when I shook it there would be no noise. I knew he was trying to throw me off and he did. He got me a really nice little digital camera. SO, be expecting lots of good pictures on here (my little phone camera is just too blurry). Anyway, he wasn't impressed with the fact that we had openend every present by six am !! Hey, early bird get the worm...or the camera, I guess.




Had a delicious dinner at Polly and Doug's. Of course, there was a big slab of rare beef on the table...tempting me, but I did well. I just had a little (and I am paying for it today) but it was well worth it. She also had succulent shrimp, weird salad (but it was tasty), restuffed potatoes (oh yum), and this cauliflower dish that was quite the hit. Then, we had bread pudding for desert (Marc Liegeois influence?).




It is SO much fun to watch kids at Christmas. Quynn and Conrad Hope (Doug Greenwalt and Polly's grandkids) are so adorable. That Quynnie can steal a heart in five seconds or under. And Conrad, he is such a neat kid. Love that boy, he's so unique !!




Fizzy and Duncan both had stockings....and Duncan tore right into his. Paper is second favorite plaything (besides a twist tie) so he was in HEAVEN. Fizzy thought we were idiots, but that is pretty much how she thinks all the time.




They got lots of treats and Duncan is hogging them all down. He is a pig/cat. When he was a little tiny baby kitty he always wanted to sleep by my head...so I allowed him. Well, I think that may have been a huge mistake, as he still thinks he can do it. He doesn't realize that he has gained about 20 pounds since he was a kitty...and he has NO tail so bare cat butt is in my face and that makes for less than enjoyable of sleeping conditions.




But guess what....I still let him do it....AND I let him drink out of my water glass. Ha !!




This is a picture of Bobby and I at our company Christmas party. I think I have posted it before, but I gotta get some downloaded off my new camera.




Hope everyone is well.

We had a WHITE Christmas! Not exactly why we live here!
