Christmas Eve Tidings…

First…Before I somehow manage to forget, just because that is how I can be…

HAPPY YULE! (belated)  HAPPY  CHRISTMAS! HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

There, now that that is out of my system.

1.) OMfGs…I have been without internet most of the day! Which yeah, I know, not THAT big of deal…Unless of course you count that is where I talk to Wasil at. Though I did text him a couple times to whine about not having internet…He tried to help, but it wasn’t something he could help with…The Provider was having issues, and had to get a DSL tech from somewhere to fix it. Happily it is fixed now.

2.) I just realized that I lost all my games that I had! *falls over* My massive score on Peggle, GONE…My additional levels that they handed out special…GONE…I could cry, almost. I should be able to redownload them without trouble…I need to reinstall Chuzzles, and Cubix delux…& I think I have a CD for Iggle Pop…If not, I’ll have to redownload that too. I’ll have to get out my liscenes and see what is what.

Alas…I finally get back online and Wasil is who knows where…His messenger status for MSN says ‘Away’ and he’s been idle on Yahoo for over 2 hours…My guess…He got called off to work. Otherwise, from what I’ve garnered he’d still read as there on MSN, even though he’d be idle on Yahoo possibly…Like any of you bloody well care. *laughs* 

Critters will be coming homes tonight! I’m going crazy with anticpation. I’ve missed them so much….I’ve got pressies hidden (nearly in plain open sight) so they won’t see them when the get home…Aside from the ones that are under the tree…Which actually don’t look half bad…The pile not the tree…Gods the tree…Poor thing. Part of the pile looking good is Mum got them comforters, so they has big package under there…& Aunt Cindy sent them each something & Reese’s grandparents said ‘Here have money to get stuff for Raven’s kids’…So all of that, plus what the Critters got for each other, me & Mum are under there, and the things I made them in pottery. I do so hope they  like them.

Now…The poor tree…I did finally put the ornaments back on it today…I can’t remember if I had mentioned it of not, but after a week (or so) of it only  having lights & garland, the Critters finaly got around to putting the ornaments on…Pretty much Sonja doing hers, and Harley telling me to do his because he didn’t really want to…A couple days later I woke up to find the tree laying on the floor.*sigh* Stupid cats had knocked it down. I put it back up, half-heartedly tossed the lights and garland back into place, and ignored it for a few days…The other night I took everything back off and restrung the lights & garland…But the tree is already drying out, so they didn’t hang as well. *pokes @ tree & gets poked back*  Not happy with it really…The last few years we’ve gotten a white pine, and I think it’s spoiled us. White pine needles stay relatively soft & flexible…This thing…It was all prickly and pointing & pokey when we brought it home. *pouts* Oh well…Next year we’ll try and get another white pine.

I typed up my repsonse to the change in custody paperwork…More or less me saying DENY to everything that was listed. I need to type up another paper that says why change in custody should be denied. I’ve got a base paper to guide me through that…I will do that either Saturday or Sunday…I needed a break after typing up the other one, and I don’t want to be working on that on Christmas while the Critters are here, I want to enjoy them all I can, as they have to go back to the idiots the next day. Blah.
ANYWAY…I’ve started on a witness & exhibit list. Some of my witnesses are out of state…So I’m not sure how that’s going to work if they need to be called, but they are important ones…Raya & Derrick were both here at one point…Dan’s father & Step-mother Renea were here for a couple visits, they also know how hard it was to actually get a hold  of Dan when he was living here, because well, he was hardly ever here.

I made Ham roll-ups & Pasta salad today for tomorrow’s tea party…Also had to run into town and get tea! *shakes head at self* That would of been bad…A tea party with no tea. There is also going to be  a mini ham, mini turkey & mini roast beef, they is cutes…Sonja’s request…She’s cutes too. *laughs* Also cresent rolls…Black olives (as there were a few left over from making the pasta salad), and some (fully-cooked) Sushi (Me & Sonja going to chow down on that…Mum & Harley said no way…Though there are, I think, 3 shrimp on the tray that Harley did lay claims to, which is fine as no one else wanted them.
All this talk of food is making me hugary! I might have to go find something to snack on.  Crap…I just remembered I forgot to pick up Mum’s pickled bogloan this year. *headdesk* & Sonja even reminded me once, but we were short on funds that week. Blah…Oh well, maybe it can be a New Year giftie.

Me thinks that is it for the moment…Not sure when the Critters will be home, but not soon enough for me.
