Today went quite well.  I made an egg casserole for lunch, lasagna for dinner, and snickerdoodles with hot chocolate for dessert.  We have a tradition in our house, we make hot chocolate on the first snow.  But we no longer get snow until January now, so now it's either the first snow or Christmas Day, whichever comes first.  Technically we eat chimichangas and hot chocolate on the first snow, but we skipped the chimichangas and had snickerdoodles instead.  

Mother was a good girl.  She did try to get more cigarettes out of me than normal, but I gave in and gave her two extra, but that's it.  She needs to learn to smokes less.  I am trying to whittle her down to nothing eventually to get her ready to go into assisted living, since you can't smoke there.  But she's obstinate (what else is new).  I got her down to 11, but now she's begging for more, so I went back up to 12 again.  I'll leave it at 12 for a bit until I feel she'll be ready for 11.  Then eventually 10, and so forth.  She used to smoke 20 (a pack a day) and she's almost half that, so that's something.  

I gave her four huge holiday bags filled with gifts today.  She was opening gifts for so long and just kept saying it was too much...yet, it was all stuff she needed.  She did say thank you, so that was something.  Although she did tell my husband and our sons that "real men don't eat quiche" while she was eating the egg casserole I made. My husband replied "good thing it's not quiche then, right?"  It was so weird.  She was trying to make joke, but instead just came off sounding like an asshole.  We all thought it was funny though, just not to her face.  It was awkward and weird when she said it LOL  What was said was "Men don't eat quiche."  I replied "Lots of men eat quiche."  She replied "Well, real men don't."  We were all just like....um....okay?  Wtf was that about? Haha!  

I hung out more with my mother today than I have in years.  It wasn't fun, but it also wasn't horrible.  So that's nice.  

My kids, hubby, and I spent the entire evening playing the entire game of "Cards Against Humanity".  We joked that we played the whole thing that now we never have to play it again and should sell it.  Funny, I just bought it from a resale shop and we played it all in one sitting.  We've played it a billion times before, though we play on "Tabletop Simulator" on Steam with the expansions, which makes it more fun.  

The most fun part of the day was getting into bed and seeing my cat had come into my room and unleashed a torrent of piss on my blanket and sheets.  That smelled great.  Good thing I have a waterproof sheet on my bed for just such an occasion.  AND (I feel like such a grownup saying this), I have TWO SETS of each!!  So if one gets barfed on, pissed on, or whatevered on, I have an extra set.  I am so adulty.  Though never again will I leave my door open.  Like EVER.  I don't want to rehome my cat, she's 13 and she loves pissing on things (our counters, for one).  She's not sick.  She's always done this.  Back when she was young, she'd spray, like a male cat.  Sick!  Dis cat, tho.  Wtf.  I love her, and I cannot fathom seeing her leave our house, but YUCK!!  I am buying a new mattress anyways, but still.  The fucker.  Sigh.  

My son got me the Bob's Burger's 3 album set (with a bonus 45 that's white!) and my hubby got me some Fantastic Mr. Fox stickers and a Coraline dash dancer.  I got all movie/TV related stuff!  All my favs!!  

Okay, I am off to listen to my audiobook and go to sleep.  I am so tired.  Merry Christmas to all and to all a goodnight :)
