Day 115.........a very late night.

Day 115.........a very late night.

3 Girls and 4 Suitcases.

Sometimes I just take a notion to stay out of bed. It usually comes hand-in-hand with two or three glasses of wine and last night was one of those partnerships.
The girls headed to bed and I stayed up 'You Tube'. I may have to investigate Marie Osmond and Andy Gibb today because I got the impression that they may have been an 'item' before Victoria Principal entered Andys life? Just a feeling but it lead me to the Bee Gees and of course to Immortality and Celine Dion and of course to the tears that always come, with that song. It's one of a couple of songs that bring my love for my mum forward, to the front of my heart and that's okay, occasionally, right.
I closed the laptop after that and fell into bed. Tempting as it was, to roll over at nine, this morning, I got up and will try to head to bed earlier tonight.
Yesterday, daytime saw a quiet morning and then an afternoon/evening of shopping with the girls. The Family day pass thing is going to be available every day till January 4th which is fantastic. It means that the girls and I can get out and about all day every day for $11.....if we want to. The shops were busy, as expected and a fared better than I usually do with busy although the girls adopted an apparently angry 'sorry' that I snapped, to keep them amused all day. I, of course was unaware of this till we were heading home and Alison thought she'd let me know how much fun they'd had imitating me. Cheeky monkeys.
You'll have gathered from that, that we split up for a chunk of time and I spent a huge amount of time calling on my patience, in a queue in a TK Max type store. The young boy on my till was SLOW but I managed to stay civil and keep my arms unfolded.......for most of what felt like a half hour.
I popped into Walmart for more of that yummy Cracker Barrel Old Cheddar that tastes like Scottish cheddar. Jen kindly carried the bag with my 3+Kgs haul in-thanks Jen.
Dinner was very late at the back of eight and it was very yummy mac-cheese. How could it not have been after buying all that cheese, eh?
We watched the movie, The Holiday, which was lovely and we must have only seen it once or twice before because there were bits that we'd forgotten.......and that's always great. Andrew hasn't requested that any of the 'Big' Christmas movies be saved and so I sense that Elf, Grinch and Polar Express will be the next 3 nights viewing.......I may or may not let you know because I'm sure that you'll want to-lol.
Okay dokay. Much love to all on this last Sunday before Christmas and on the Winter Solstice.........shortest day. I want to light a candle and my lighter won't spark and I can't find any matches......what does that mean?
