Joy to the world

verbicideMmmm last night was lovely.
Went over to Judy & John's around 4:30pm. We cooked all manner of appetizers (shrimp dip and toast things, spinach balls, latkes, and our pride and joy: mini corn dogs) and soup (onion/garlic cream) and salad (chicken Caesar which we ended up too full to eat). Watched A Christmas Story ad nauseum on TNT. Played my shiny new Trivial Pursuit where I won. Then John, piqued and I think a little startled, stood up and challenged me to a rematch. Where I whooped his butt again. Ahhh, that was fun. I knew watching the LotR:FotR:EE and LotR:TTT:EE repeatedly would have some side benefit.
We opened presents, and had long discussions on Sandman, and graphic novels in general and movies, and other books. They really are the top of my favorite people to spend time with.
Drove home, read maybe a paragraph of The Hobbit and fell asleep. Slept in peacefully this morning and have woken up in time to watch Celebrity Poker with the West Wing crew. Judy and John love Celebrity Poker and we're thinking of starting up a poker night with penny bets with a group of friends.
Today will be a day of sloth and joy. Ooo maybe I'll start working on the quilted potholders for Ellie.
