I got up early and did dishes, laundry, and cleaned up around the house a bit. Tina came over around 10, and we watched an episode of Firefly. Then we went to lunch at Applebee's. After lunch, I laid down on the couch for a minute, with Katie on my chest, and woke up 2 and a half hours later, late for Rick's family Christmas dinner. Al was running late too, so I didn't hold up dinner. Cheryl was just taking the beef out of the oven when I arrived.
The food was fantastic, and everyone had a great time. I really enjoy Rick's family. They are nice people who like to laugh, whether it be at each other, or themselves, or my bad jokes.
I had to get a picture of Auggie. He's grown quite a bit. He'll be taller than his mom in a few months.
Then there was the gift exchange:
Rick is opening his present, which is a gift card to the Ice House Tavern. We like to stop there once in a while. *wink*
I'm opening my gift from Rick...
...I suspect that my friend and I may be having fun at the Ice House sometime soon! I hope we don't end up in jail....On the way home, I saw an accident happen. I was stopped at a red light, listening to a Christmas song on the radio. I'm not sure exactly what happened, but a car was coming from the right, going straight through the intersection. He was moving pretty fast, trying to get through what I suppose was a yellow light. The other car was making a left turn. I guess each driver expected the other person to stop on yellow, though when I looked at the lights, they were red. I don't know if anyone was hurt, but I heard sirens a few minutes later as I got out of my truck. It just drives me nuts that some idiot in a hurry can't slow down and obey traffic signals. Now he's going to be late anyway, and have all this trouble to boot, as well as causing trouble for the other driver.
I'm relaxing now, sipping some Talisker Scotch whiskey and eating cashew's before I call it a night.
