Fa la la la laaaaa, la la la laaaaa

Random stuff for today:

- lesson #847 for the kitchen: don't cook a two-pound box of macaroni when the recipe only calls for eight ounces. Only disasters and mounds of macaroni can result.

- lesson #252 in home maintenance: let the husband handle anything that deals with a plunger. Ew.

- lesson #673 in housekeeping: Anticipate the hubby running out of clean socks and undershirts before he needs them 10 minutes before work. Or just buy more socks.

- Ray's work Christmas party is tonight. Tacky Ornament party at a Chinese buffet. Not so excited about the food, but I love the ornaments. Last year, since these people deal with delinquents and have to keep track of these things, someone filled a pee cup (for drug testing)with some kind of yellow liquid and floated a snowman in the middle. They all got a kick out of it. Inside jokes, I guess. But, it's my debut to his coworkers as Ray's wife. Now I get to defend myself against awkward questions... "How's married life?"... How was the honeymoon? (nudge nudge, wink wink)"... "Are you ready to throw in the towel yet?" (howling laughter while I just shrug and start blushing). Yay for Christmas parties! But no, really, I like the people Ray works with. Should be fun!
