saifaiWoke up... early. Read a book. Fell asleep with said book on face. Woke up again... late.
Presents
Opened presents. Much fun to be had. Couple things I got off my wishlist including "The Silmarillion" and an illustrated Tolkien encyclopedia from the hubby. My mom gave me a gihugic book containing the complete works of Edgar Allen Poe. w00t! She also gave me a new set of sheets and matching comforter set for my bed in a lovely shade of dusty purple.
Dinner
My Mom and I attempted dinner. We however were distracted by our Christmas movies. We put on the Turkey in a slow cooker (early Christmas present - the thing is huge and big enough to fit in a turkey whole). About an hour left to go, I put in the pumpkin pie. I was supposed to turn it down after fifteen minutes.
With six minutes left to go in the entire hour of cooking time I finally remembered it.
From that point, since that fifteen minute mark was when we were going to start the rest of the dinner, we ended up scrambling to get everything done. Was quite the fiasco.
We knocked off the burnt crust and the pie was edible... with enough whip cream. My Mom liked it at least.

saifai Brain Farts
I had heartburn from the molasses sugar cookies, so I went into the bathroom to grab a bottle of liquid Mylanta. I wasn't paying attention to what I grabbed and ended up with a mouthful of rubbing alcohol. Man that shit is nasty. Spit it out right quick right about the time my tongue started burning. Didn't swallow any, as you can guess.
Nothing like the taste of rubbing alcohol to put a damper on Christmas dinner.
...
That's pretty much it. More movies after that. How was everyone elses day?
