cheers
I am so tired today.
SO. TIRED.
I’ve been like this all week: coming home from work, sitting on the couch, wrapping my down comforter around me and watching TV, where “watching TV” equals “closing my eyes and dreaming of Batista.”
Is it a little sad that the main reason I’m excited to have a few days off for Christmas is that I can sleep in?
Also, that I can nap?
(And, is it possible for your eyelids to gain weight and feel like they weigh 5 lbs.? If so, that is happening to me. ALERT THE MEDICAL COMMUNITY!)
Jason and I have the weekend to ourselves before we have to do any traveling for the holiday. We plan on taking pictures of ourselves with the cats in front of the tree, using the self-timer, which is always a crapshoot depending on the cats’ level of cooperation, which ranges from, “Sure, I’ll sit in your lap” to “OPERATION: CLAW REMOVAL.”
We plan on driving around the neighborhood looking at Christmas lights, listening to Christmas music, and then coming home to cups of hot chocolate accompanied by way too many marshmallows. Also, I am making chicken saltimbocca, which makes me happy because I’ve been talking about making it again for about 3298758 months, and it makes Jason happy because now he won’t have to listen to me talk about making it. Plus, it’s delicious.
I hope you all have a pleasant holiday/Christmas/whatever you celebrate, and even if your family’s squabbling or you’re forced to dress up and sit through a 7-hour Mass, or Santa didn’t bring you want you asked for, I hope you find a moment or two of peace and happiness.
Happy holidays.
Happy holidays! Photo essay of Chicken Saltimbucca please!

I have been on a total hot chocolate kick lately too. What’s up with that? Mmmmm… marshmallows.

Tessie,
A photo essay? We’ll see…I can barely handle the recipe as it is, and I get nervous whenever Jason’s hovering over me when I’m attempting to cook something slightly difficult, but maybe he can be the photographer and I’ll completely ignore him.
Yes, let’s do that.

Don’t be so sure… I’m not easily ignored.

I don’t know which set of Cats With Tree pics I want to see most…the ultra cute or the surgical intervention.
Hoping you have a wonderful holiday together without any trips to the ER (after substituting the cats for the chicken).
