A Pink Champagne Christmas
December 24th 2006 04:33
Today, we've had a lovely day...the roast I cooked for lunch actually turned out (no near kitchen-on-fire, which actually almost happened the other night...who knew parmesan covered steaks could alight so quickly??)...
The three-layered jelly and custard creations turned out beautifully (after a minor jelly explosion incident at about midnight last night...but hey! The kitchen is now in tones of pink and green....what more could a girl ask for at Christmas?)...
And the pink champagne is currently flowing and bubbly and lovely and chilled.
My two-year-old is very happy, having been allowed to open two presents from her Aunty Nat Nat (2 Hi-Five dvd's and a stuffed white reindeer...good picks, Aunty Nat!)...
Plus she's had some scrumptious roast lamb (got the string out this time...it really is bad for your indigestion, anyway), some roast potoates, some corn on the cob...
And those jelly creations she consumed out of a purple jelly cup in about 2 seconds flat.
Also, while I had some pink champagne (did not even have to write that...you all assumed correctly), I allowed her some Coke. Just a bit. And only because it's a special day.
And she raised her plastic beaker to my glass of bubbly, and said 'Cheers!' to me!!
Was very cute and funny, but left me somehow thinking I'm doing something wrong as a mother...having her say Cheers and all, like she's down at the local pub.
Anyway, it's Christmas, and I wanted to say thanks to all I have this year...my beautiful little family, my baby girl...the ability to have a day of cooking where only small jelly explosions are the worst that happens...and to all the wonderful people, and friends I've made, on Orble.
I love you all.
Wish you were all sitting around my dining room table (or Dusk Devi's, whose table sounds quite large and impressive), having a Pink Champagne Christmas together.
Merry Christmas to you all...
The Romantic Writer,
K.L.

Stop putting such lovely, delightfully feminine pics of your lovely beautiful self up. *
You're driving me madder than I already am. *
Here is my Christmas present to you.
I don't have much to give. Refer to an earlier post (100 Lashes) as to how much value I put on my word.
As sick as I am, I swear, I will never do anything naughty while I look at those pics ...
And I wouldn't promise that to many women.
No others that I know of.
Not one.
They are lovely. Like you are.
Homer.

You've given me the best present ever, with your (true) sweet self...
Your words have made my Christmas Eve...
But I appreciate how you've sworn not to defile my photos...
Coming from you, that is very, er, big...

I hope your Eve is beautiful...and not too entertaining..

Kisses and hugs to your family (and you, of course),
Love Your Cherry Angel,
