I have another one... this is the tale of how my mother lost the right to cook holiday dinners. A few years back my Mom decided to cook a Christmas dinner for our side of the family, Prime rib. She's an iffy cook, so I offered to do the sides and dessert, so all she had to focus on was the rib.
yes, hello, I would like to place an order for everyone’s funniest stories of holiday food-related family grudges / drama / chaotic incidents / lore

I feel like we need this

Yay, they are fixing the traffic light post that got knocked down last weekend! Bonus, today is a barn day so I don't have to hear the heavy machinery all day.

The kids are amused both by the new faucet and by the fact that we put it in ourselves.

Victory! We have a faucet with two handles that is not leaking! I need to clean a few hard to reach spots now that the drawers are out of the vanity, but then we can put everything back and are at bathroom normal again.

After one of the handles snapped off our faucet this week (hard water is awful) we are replacing the whole unit. So far this has necessitated one extra trip for a specialized tool because hard water is terrible.... fingers crossed the rest goes well.

I have progressed from the terrible sinus pain stage into half my face is swollen stage. Which honestly is an improvement. It peaked early this morning and now things are slowly going down.... but yeah. Fun days.

I adore Lily cat, but spiders and crickets are NOT fun gifts for me. Ack!

After waking up from the dratted sinus malady pain, I've taken a 3 hour nap and got ahead of things with Tylenol and ibuprofen. And I look a little less bad plastic surgery. Hopefully another night and I'll be through the worst of it.

My sinuses are in revolt... and I look like someone with a BAD lip filler as everything around my upper lip has swollen. Fun times.

Ok turkey cooking world, if you are planning to cook one Thursday, now is the time to get it in the fridge to thaw!

For reference one of my email accounts had this turned on and one did not... so it might not be rolling out equally yet.

There was a bird on the porch so I scooped up my Lily cat and held her to the glass to see and she went so still in my arms, chirping and lashing her tail. She's still there looking for it after it flew off after a few minutes. Truly the best of cats.

Our faucet handle snapped last night. Casualty of very hard water that we now have corrected with a water softener. But husband and I are going to fix it this weekend (it still works with the hot water so no rush). I've offered to buy us Mario hats for the procedure.

Our cat Olive is cuddling on my lap today, because she misses the ultimate lap, my husband's now that the reality that he is back at work again and not available for all day lap cuddles anymore.

Evidently middle age is trying to figure out why my arms of breaking out in a (VERY MILD) allergic reaction. I put on lotion, but this is an unscented lotion I use frequently. Nothing else has changed recently... so mystery.

It's been so long since the intersection near us had a car accident that I forgot to check when I hear a big thump. Turns out someone took out the traffic light pole Sunday. Hopefully this isn't a new trend... I think they redid the light timing 10 years ago to help.

Look someone should probably confiscate my airfryer and wonton wrappers. I added taco meat and cheese... and they are delicious but I feel like I have committed a culinary sin in their creation.
