Toolio was fat: It's 8:30...

...on Tuesday night before Christmas, 2006. I've had 3 glasses of wine. That's about 2 too many for me and my little altered tummy.

Speaking of tummies...I think I may have gained 2-4 pounds in the last month or 2. I haven't been real diligent in the food vs. crap arena when it comes to feeding myself lately. But I will no longer be a hoss, so I will cut back on the pastries and fries for a couple weeks and see if that makes a difference.

And it needs to, cuz we're doin' Vegas in 5 weeks, Baby! That's right - me and "The Girls" are hittin' Sin City hard for my birthday. We will be doing all sorts of fun stuff; and looking good doing, it, too! Of course, you know that, cuz you are probably one of the girls, anyway. Uh. Hi La and Karen ~ and Gramps.

Speaking of Gramps - thanks shitloads for the shitloads of Xmas $$. It will help pay for that monstrous TV that we cannot seem to turn off these days. Have any of you seen Mickey Mouse Clubhouse in Hi Def? Awesome; yet, kind of creepy. But it does rock!

Speaking of those who rock...G-Judy sent about a billion Xmas gifts up today. That makes her the Rock Star Of The Day. If the boys enjoy the gifts as much as they've enjoyed the boxes they were shipped in, then we're good for awhile.

And finally...speaking of good...we're good to go for Christmas. I've shipped the gifts, hit Costco, wrapped most of the presents, and confirmed our guests for our annual Christmas Eve Dinner Party. We'll have 11 adults and 3 kids. Some of the friends have offered to bring food, so my list of items to prepare is dwindling everyday. BTW - I love that. I've had to relinquish some control over the menu, but, shit - it'll still be good, I mean I am cooking, after all.

Speaking of cooking; my brains + 3 glasses of wine = overdone. I hope to post again before the big day, but if I don't, y'all have a great EX-MASS.
