Prime Rib

Good Morning!

How is everyone doing? Did you have a good, happy and Merry Christmas?

Christmas Eve was a wash for me. For the first time in 35 years, I was alone. Actually, probably for the first time in my life because prior to having children 35 years ago, I was with mom and dad or with friends.

It was depressing and I don’t recommend it. Next year, if the kids are all busy, I’m going to sleep over at my sister‘s house.

And speaking of my sister; My oldest, my youngest, and myself went out to her and my brother-in-law‘s place yesterday. My middle child, Rhiannon, has been fighting off the flu, she tested positive earlier in the week. So she and my son-in-law were not there.

We are going to have a second celebration a week from tomorrow out at my sister’s.

We had a really nice time. They had a whole layout of appetizers. We got there shortly afternoon, so we all kind of sat around and chatted and ate a bit. We did not do an official exchanging of the gifts, but rather, just sort of spread it out.

And let me just wax poetic for a moment over our dinner. Prime rib, mashed potatoes, broccolini and bread...and then a peanut butter cup pie for dinner, all handmade by my sister.

I can't even. As everyone started eating, you could hear murmurs of, "mmmmmm". That my friends is a sign of a delicious meal.

I also spent time yesterday with my brother, sister inlaw and niece on the phone. We got all caught up. We are a good family.

Mom was very missed as was Dad, but all of us? We made it, we're good.

I got some great gifts. A friend of mine surprised me a gift, which was so amazing and thoughtful. It came through on Venmo.

The fact that people think of me and do these things, wow.

I so want to be that person someday. Someone who does kind things for someone else just because.

So as far as a plan for today, I want to get over to Costco. One of my gifts was a year long membership. I need to get my card activated.

Job search.

Cleaning and shooting some long form videos.

Well...and exercise.

Next big thing to look forward to, in addition to a new job (thinking positive here), is my brother inlaw and my birthdays. We are the same age for one day!

I'm hoping to celebrate out there with the family on Saturday; sleep over and then I want to go to this Ice Festival over by my sister's on my actual bday.

That sounds like a good birthday.

Alright, on that note, gonna go do my thang.

I hope you all have a great day. Don't spend all your Christmas money in one place...unless you got a gift card of course.

Be Blessed.

Love & Light,

Neecie
