Well, I am feeling a little bit better today. Bibianna left today to go spend a few days at my mom's house. There is such a stillness that settles over the house when she is gone. I hate having her gone but love the fact that she has the opportunity to spend some good quality time with her grandmother. I know that the memories of staying with my grandparents are some of my fondest childhood recollections. I also like having some good quality time for Carolyn and I. Those moments of good one-on-one time without the distractions of everyday life are few and far between.
On Christmas day, my dad and step-mother came for dinner. Joey deep fried a turkey in the backyard (I will post pictures later after I get time to download them). I baked a ham, two versions of cornbread dressing (vegetarian and non-vegetarian), sweet potatoes, broccoli/chesse casserole, green bean casserole and I even made two pies that weren't half bad. I have been eating, and eating, and eating since Christmas day. I love leftovers: therefore, I hate leftovers. I honestly think that the food just gets better everyday. Fortunately, we are starting to see the bottom of the dishes so that is good. As soon as it is all gone, it is back to healthy eating (which implies that we were eating healthily before the holiday season...HAH!) again. Maybe I will make that one of my New Years Resolutions......
Oh yeah, and I forgot to mention movies yesterday. We watched "The House Bunny" and "The Dark Knight." Tonight our viewing choices are "The Happening" and "Mama Mia."
