So full. Ham and prime rib in the same meal will really do you in. Had less guests than I had expected so I sent everyone home with some ham and prime rib leftovers. What I couldn't believe was some people turned down the prime rib so they could eat more scalloped potatoes. I love the holidays, since they're such a great chance to show off the culinary arts.
We finished things off with some hot buttered rum.
All the gifts were the perfect fit for everyone. I gave my friend's wife this game of thrones dragon bag I got from thinkgeek and she freaked out, she was so happy and actually really needed a new bag. I got another friend a 1TB SSD and some books, including a nice hardcover of medieval epics. One of the best finds I had was this rare first edition of The Pop Up Book of Phobias. So awesome, I love the dental tool coming at you spinning around, it's such a brilliant pop up book. I always give out cheap USB flash drives to everyone, too. I found out people really love them, too, since they're so useful. You can get a 3 pack of 16GB drives for like $15 bucks. They're a great way to please a lot of people.
So with my winnings after my blood donation (4 gallons plus now) before Christmas, my Lady got her car fully serviced n fixed, and I got a nice new torture device for my gym. Good enough gifts for us both we thought. On to New Years Day next.
Here's raising a glass to a Happy New Year to everyone here. May real life treat you and yours better in 2019, the forums be peaceful, and last but not least, may Baldur's Gate continue to get some quality play time from your schedules.
Happy New Year! And to anyone that has made new year resolutions, remember this: it is not "new year" that can make any difference. You can do that by working on yourself every single day. You habits are making who you are.
