Full of holiday spirit(s)
I know I swore never again, but I caved...
More gingerbread houses
This time I used Ikea kits for $4.99 and used a hot glue gun, thanks to the suggestions of my wonderful readers ;)
I made baked potato soup!

And the kids watched Harry Potter and drowned their sorrows in gumdrops
Later that night we had a major windstorm. Our house came out fine, but the next evening a few power poles needed to be fixed so we were without power for half the day. Since our house is so old and we're on septic, we try not to use our toilets. We did some Christmas shopping and went to dinner, but I forgot to use the restroom before we headed home. I waited as long as I could for the power to come back on, but I had to pee and couldn't hold it any longer. When I sent the dogs outside, I went along to take care of business. 15 minutes later...the power came back on. I hope I didn't kill the grass.
What did you do this weekend?

ReplyDeleteI'm assuming you have a sewage sump and a pump in the house and you maybe are on your own water?
ReplyDeleteRelieving yourself outside is an art, one honed from years of back country camping. I'm sure you did the art proud ;)
LOL! Why can't you use the septic system when your power is out? My parents have septic but we haven't had to take those measures...
ReplyDeletehilarious. I can't say that I peed outside with Ollie this weekend but it was a nice relaxing one (where I did not get enough done that I needed to!)
ReplyDelete"I hope I didn't kill the grass"...HA HA HA! you are so funny! thanks for the laugh...
ReplyDeleteMy cousins live in the Seattle area and they STILL DON'T HAVE POWER! She keeps posting about it on FB. Love those gingerbread houses!
ReplyDeleteThe soup looks delicious! I have to admit, rather than going outside, I would have used the toilet and just not flushed, but maybe that would make your hubby more mad than killing the grass?!?
ReplyDeleteI had to read that last paragraph about 3 times to understand what was going on. hilarious!
ReplyDeleteomigosh, is miss sally your neighbor?? her kids are ginormous!
ReplyDeleteHAPPY HOLIDAYS! i sent you the recipe for the frosting from Dev's class (it's ROCK HARD) to your college email address because that's what's on facebook. :)
I did gingerbread house decorating this weekend w/ my little cousins...even at 25 it's still fun! lol
ReplyDeleteGingerbread houses look awesome!
ReplyDelete...did you get frostbite? Sorry, I just can't stop thinking how cold my netherregions would be hahaha
I'm glad you tried the gingerbread houses again. It looks like they were successful. I'm a little upset that Ikea has pre-made houses for $4.99. I paid like $10 for mine. Sheesh.
