Christmas Part 2 at my parents' house was pretty good. The kids and my brother-in-law got there around noon or a little earlier. We opened presents. The kids played with theirs and the adults put in batteries and gathered up boxes and wrapping paper and watched the kids play. I ate a bunch of cake and finished up the chocolate fudge that my parents had last week. Later we had dinner, the traditional corned beef and cabbage for New Year's Day and home made noodles because they are one of my brother-in-law's favorite foods. I only ate noodles for supper - I don't eat cabbage or corned beef. Cabbage smells and corned beef just doesn't sound appetizing. Jasmine, my niece, remembered the Petz computer game that we have and had to play it. It was on the computer my dad has in the basement so they were down there for a long while. Jasmine got cold she stayed so long. So, we finally brought that computer up to the office room and set it up. My brother-in-law is a computer guru so he could help my parents hook everything up. As for the presents I got, I got a stuffed piggy bank that makes noise and has lights. I got knitted socks with pig heads on them. And I got a gift card from walmart.
Aside from the trip to my parents' house, I also got to enjoy part of a James Bond movie marathon on one of the encore channels and I got to see the Rose Parade on HGTV. This year, they didn't talk as much about the plants as they've done in previous years. I like to hear about the materials used on the floats.
Okay, I'm watching Anthony Bourdain in New Zealand. He is giving a talk about his book in a town called Christchurch. He starts off his talk with references to pornography. It didn't go well. What part of Christ and Church did he not get? I may have to watch something else. I don't really like him that well, but it's a travel show.
