12 Broken Days of Christmas

Upon Monday the heat went down and the teeth were a chatter,

Tuesday night Gwen and I awoke with fright from a cabinet crashing clatter,

Last but not least the house was finally settled at peace,

When today while away,

With no more than a creak, the damn cold water line sprang a sky shooting leak!

We are skipping Christmas caroling and moving straight to liquored eggnog this year ;-)

Hope everyone has their heat back on in O.K.

We were sipping eggnog the other night watching that same movie rolling with laughter-for me the character "cousin Eddy" character was too much- I remember watching that in the theater with our old friend Finnegan must have been late 80s- the line where Clark says something about Eddy's dog at the dinner table, and Eddy responds that his dog is alwright, "he's just yacking on a bone!" still cracks my cookie jar...
Long live the cousin Eddys of the world.
Maybe on the 13th day everything will be great.

Man that movie kills me. I take a year off and watch it every other Christmas, so it stay "fresh".

Cuz Eddie is one of my favorites as well, "He's cute ain't he? Only problem is, he's got a little bit a Mississippi leg hound in 'im. If the mood catches him right, he'll grab your leg and just go to town. You don't want him around if your wearing short pants, if you know what I mean. Word of warning though, if he does lay into ya, it's best to just let 'im finish."

On the home front, it all seems to be coming together. Plumbing fixed yesterday, cabinets going back up on the wall today, heat still running. Got a bottle of congnac and irish cream either way 8-)
