Tonight, I'm going to my friend pug's annual Yule Feast!  It starts at 7:00 pm or so, and goes into wee hours of the morning.  I don't stay till the end, but I certainly stay for quite a while.  A lot of food and drink are consumed and a great time is had by all! :D

Thatch is no fool.  I think he's aware that my washing his eyes keeps them open.  They were sealed shut this morning.  He was docile during that and even took his oral wild cherry-flavored medicine calmly.  I followed it up with some Gerber chicken and gravy baby food which he lapped right up.  Then he fought me like hell over the eye salve, ran away as soon as it was over, but just now he was rubbing against my leg.

Something I miss at Rockefeller, which has now been gone a number of years: 

The coffee shop on the lower level.  I think it was in between the two main corridors.  Know the one I mean?  Maybe it was the luck of the draw, but I enjoyed a few exceptionally delicious meals there.

The Rockefeller Center tree is beautiful.  I wish I were seeing it lit up after dark, which is really stunning.  Annabelle was happy to see me home, but Thatch avoided me until I offered him some of my ham and egg sandwich.  Now he's napping.  I may grab him just to hold him for a bit.

He got the comment to post along with one photo and is now trying to add more.

Fore some reason there are only 2 options, to drop into a draft or share.  You would think sharing would be the same as "post", however, it goes to someplace else, where we have no idea.

Kritzerland is pleased to wish all of you a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year and to that end we are having a very special end of 2017 sale for our loyal customers. From now until December 31st if you buy two CDs you will get one CD of your choice for free.  If you buy four CDs you will get two CDs of your choice for free.  And if you buy six CDs you get three CDs for free.  This offer can only be used once per customer.

Here's how it works: Go to www.kritzerland.com and order two CDs as you normally would.  In your PayPal invoice there is always a place to leave the seller a message - in that box put the titles of your free CDs.  Easy/breezy.  If you have any problems, you may send us your free title choices via e-mail to kritzerland@gmail.com, but it's best if you find the leave seller a message box or clickable link in the actual PayPal invoice.  The free CD choices  only include titles priced at our usual $19.98 - if you want the more expensive titles those will have to be part of your actual purchase price, but frankly there aren't more than about seven or eight titles in our entire catalog that are priced over 19.98.

So, some titles are low stock items so don't wait and take advantage of this lovely sale right away.  And, as always, many thanks for being wonderful and loyal Kritzerland customers.

Annabelle and Thatch are really excited about their first Christmas on 82nd St, but I am getting a bit sick of hearing two kittens mangling Christmas songs. Annabelle at least knows some of the words, but Thatch is a baby, and just makes them up. Yesterday 50 ping pong balls arrived and he is still in euphoria. He hasn't been so happy since I got him stoned on catnip a month ago.

Annabelle is happier with the empty Amazon cartons. She has this knack for finding the smallest carton, squeezing into it, and napping. Today UPS delivered 40 lbs of kitty litter in a large carton, along with a medium size carton and a little carton, all of them containing kitty Christmas gifts. Between the boxes and the packing paper she had a great time, hiding, singing "White Christmas," and rolling in the paper. Thatch prefers the Chipmunk Song but he can't do the chipmunk voices and he never gets the song right, but if I don't yell ALVIN!, he sulks.

I am sooo glad we don't have a tree.

Interesting day thus far.  Costco was horrendous but I really lucked out as I went to checkout I saw the one line that had just opened and got there with only one person ahead of me and that person had exactly two items.  So, I got everything I needed save for one item I've been buying there forever - NOW they change it a "heart smart" low sodium - and having recently had some Campbell's heart smart cream of mushroom soup by mistake and finding it horrible, no way I'm buying anything with that label.  So, after tonight's dinner partay, I'll go to Ralph's and get the other items I need. 
Title: Re: #WHEREDIDTHISYEARGO
Post by: bk on December 22, 2017, 02:49:49 PM
Then I decided to have the motor car washed for the first time since April.  I pulled into the nearby car wash - which is another crazy horrendous joke because they have what they call "quick wash" where you actually stay in your car and it's cheap to do.  That line is usually twenty deep.  So, I pulled into the normal line and when they guy offered me a really good deal on their low-price detailing package I did it.  I was told it would take fifty minutes, so I paid and walked home, which took exactly two minutes.
Title: Re: #WHEREDIDTHISYEARGO
Post by: bk on December 22, 2017, 03:01:48 PM
Once here, I got the sale up and running, and answered e-mails and stuff.  An hour later I went back to the car wash and my car was pretty and clean and waiting for me.  I then went to the mail place, where I picked up no packages and one nice envelope.  I did some banking, then came home, unloaded the car's Costco contents, and got the master for the CD I just decided to do two days ago - we may even try to announce it before the end of the year - or it may be our first release of 2018.

Jeanne, you've probably found things like this, but a few months ago, I found these sugar-free chocolates (https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B01LQYCY3O/).  They're sweetened with monk fruit extract and they're very good...in my humble opinion. :) You can also get the individual flavors, and the company has other products.

It was having a cat that convinced me to stop having Christmas trees. It's been many years since I've had a cat, but I still don't have a tree. Too much work! I know some people enjoy it; I did, too, at one point. Christmas trees and back problems aren't compatible.

Thank you, George, I'll look into it. For me, it's not just the sugar that's the problem. Chocolate contains a number of stimulants that can cause problems for my heart. But there are times when I want chocolate, so this at least would be a better alternative.

Do you buy yours from Amazon?

I haven't seen Annabelle and Thatch play this game, but I know he's been bitching to her about me.  I saw them huddled over the water dish earlier.

Had a lovelier than lovely dinner with Muse Margaret and her ever-lovin' Richard.  She actually made spaghetti with sauce that had sausage in it - deelish.  Some tiny little garlic rolls, a bit of salad - not too heavy, and then for dessert she made a light chocolate cake, no frosting.  We had very irreverent chatter about all things "today" and the stupidity that runs rampant in the world.

After that, I went to Ralph's and got the remaining stuff for the Do - one really does save scads of money there as compared to getting the same items from Gelson's.  I do hope I haven't forgotten anything.  They didn't really have any decent fresh mushrooms, but they had pre-sliced mushrooms, so I just bought four boxes of those - I'm sure they'll be fine.

I guess it snowed a little bit today locally, but I didn’t see any flakes.

Now they are saying that we may get a touch of snow on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day.

But living where we do (between two mountain ranges) makes it a hit or miss situation.

It will snow in one neighborhood, and a mile away there won’t be a thing.

I live so close to Puget Sound that I don’t always see any flakes.

After one cup of coffee, I got showered and dressed, and headed out to run a few errands.

First I went and got my hairs cut.

I liked this woman, we kidded around a bit, but mostly she did her job and I shut up.

The hairs are all short, but that is what I wanted.

I didn’t realize how long my hair had gotten until I saw the huge pile sitting on the floor of the shop.

Next, I bit the bullet, and went to Safeway.

I didn’t have a lot to buy, just the stuff for my shrimp dip.

I zoomed in and out between the other shoppers, grabbing items as i went.

Then I was out the door and heading home.
Title: Re: #WHEREDIDTHISYEARGO
Post by: TCB on December 22, 2017, 10:55:03 PM
I got home and  I was feeling so proud of myself, until I noticed that I had purchased canned crab, instead of shrimp.  Damn!
Title: Re: #WHEREDIDTHISYEARGO
Post by: TCB on December 22, 2017, 10:56:42 PM
So, back I went to Safeway.  The parking lot was now twice as crowded as the last time I was there.
Title: Re: #WHEREDIDTHISYEARGO
Post by: TCB on December 22, 2017, 11:00:06 PM
I finally got to the checkout counter with the cans of shrimp.  I expected that i would be getting some money back on the exchange, but the shrimp turned out to be $3.00 more per can than the crab.  WTH?

Well, I must be off.  I'm done for the week and I need a break!  Tonight, I'm first going home to feed my cat because after that, I'm going to my friend pug's annual Yule Feast!  I won't stay for the entire party (which will probably go until tomorrow morning!), but I'll stay for quite a while.

Have a good rest of the evening, and I'll be back later!

I'm home.  The party was its usual festive party.  Much chatting and ketchuping with friends and eating and drinking was had by all!  I left after the second wave of people had left but before the third wave of people were expected to arrive.  Fun times!

I really need to get rid of this sweet tooth I've developed. I was pretty much off sugar for two years, then BAM! It's the chocolate that does it. I find chocolate soooo addictive.
