Everybody ready?

I'm as ready as I'm gonna get...for now, anyway. The kids aren't coming up to celebrate Christmas til after the first of the year. I've picked up a few little things for 'em, but I'll go shopping after Christmas and get 'em double what I could if they were comin up this weekend.

I expect it'll be pretty quiet around here this weekend. I've never had what you could call a "big" family, but it's downright dinky now. Sometimes, I wish that I'd have had a bigger family...especially during the holidays. But then I look at what some big families do to each other and I think I must be crazy to want that. I suppose it's ok if everyone gets along well. Seems like there's usually at least one horse's ass in a big family, though.

I bought a beeeeeeutiful prime rib roast, so that's gonna be Christmas dinner for the Zigster and I. I've never done one before, but I'm always ready to try somethin new. I just hope I don't screw it up and it turns out...(gasp!)...well done. Ack! I'll do the whole turkey thing when the kids come...guess they don't want lobster again this year. Especially after I chased Karsin around the kitchen with one a couple years ago. hehe
