Christmas National Lampoons style...

Woke 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.

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?

Let the testing begin...

New gynecologist.  Brand new round of testing.  Long story there, so don't ask.  She's starting from the beginning though.  Guess what that means?  ULTRASOUND.

This'll be fun.  ::grins::  Last time, they made me drink a Big Gulp (32 oz.) two hours before my test.  Talk about doing the pee-pee dance in the doctor's office.

Before I even read my instructions I had already decided that I would drink the same amount only an hour before to give me time to waste in the waiting room without whining and dancing about like a loon.  Luckily for me, that's exactly what the doctor instructed me to do.

I know this hospital I'm going to.  They bring new meaning to the term "waiting room."  I'm starting me drink half hour before I go and then by the time I do the test I'll be prancing about pounding on doors screaming for the tests to be done RIGHT FUCKING NOW!!!

...kinda like I did last time.  Only with less foaming at the mouth.  *gr*  Wish me luck!
