A Twisted Chrismas

[loracs]

I don't remember doing it, but I think I twisted my ankle.  About 8 pm (xmas eve) I couldn't walk on it anymore, took an ibuprofen and went to bed to elevate my leg.  Of course this meant I fell asleep and didn't wake up until about midnight.  It's feeling a little better, but I'm still limping and it's swollen. 

Everything that I planned to do last night, I still have to do.  It's almost 3:30 am and I just finished setting the table and mixing the onion dip.  I don't know if I'll get much more done before I go to bed.  I'll just have to squeeze it all in tomorrow.  I might try to label/post-it all the bowls now, it really makes putting stuff out so much faster.  Maybe I'll just update my spreadsheet (yes, I do a spreadsheet with items, type of plate/bowl needed and approx. time to deal with it) and go to bed.

Menu:
Appetizers: olives, chedder cheese ball, onion dip, bacon/green onion dip, clam dip, soppresta salami, crackers, salsa, veggie tray, potato chips, tortilla chips (who needs dinner now?)
Dinner: lasagna, salad, corn, garlic bread, rolls.  stonebender's family is bringing green beans with bacon, potatoes and ham
Dessert: red velvet cake, pie (tracytreefrog, I was sleeping when you called, if you have or want to get a pie that would be great, but don't sweat it if you don't) and I think C is bringing some cookies. 

night ya'll

I can come by early if you need help give me a call if you need it.

This would be the Christmas where you injure yourself.

I know you won't, but here's a suggestion that you let other people (the ones who can) do some of your walking for you.

I think I'm okay. I just have the salad stuff to cut up and I'll do that in a few minutes and I'll sit down while I do it. Thanks for the offer. How are you doing today? It sounds like the new med might be working for you?

Yep, that's what happens when I don't have my xmas spirit to help me navigate. I will try to let others help, but it's difficult. The hostess in me is a force to be reckoned with.

I just called you, but your line was busy. I can come help with prep or getting the boy up, if you need me to. Is the ankle any better?

I was talking to my sister. Thanks for the offer, but I think I'm okay. It's better, but still ouchy. I only have a little to do (shower and get da boy up and put the silverware out), the rest is more last minute stuff and I can get help with it if my ankles acts up. I have until about 1 pm to do it, so I can take my time. Have a peaceful day and enjoy our stormy weather! *smooch*
