Well it's not all done yet but mostly. I have managed to prepare 4 decent loaves of dessert breads for our Christmas Eve get together. I would have made the egg nog pie too but in taking off the plastic (yes it was even pre-made) I managed to drop and crack the whole thing. Argh!! That takes talent people. So another one will be gotten tomorrow and frosting made for two of the breads and then I am done. Woo hoo! I usually am a stick in the mud and make nothing so at least I tried this year.

I hope everyone has a great holiday and whether you are on your own or with family, have some treats and enjoy yourself!

Everyone around here has been sick including my little nephew. We took him to see a Polar Express model train exhibit which was fun but cold. I think it got both of us. Then I tried to go to Harry Potter land which was a bit too much for me. Maybe because I was tired it was just kind of a dud for me. The rides were not great and the stores were very small. I had expected a bigger place in general I guess. However the art direction was all very good looking. I wonder if the Florida place is any better? I am just always going to be a Disney girl at heart. Now it is full steam ahead to Christmas activities. Presents are wrapped and ingredients are bought. Now I just have to make about three desserts and hope the "punch" tastes okay. Still am looking forward to getting to see movies all week after the Christmas days. Hope you all have some great holidays!

Went to help out my brother today by letting in delivery guys to get his new kitchen table in time for Christmas Eve. It is the more casual get together and also has more people. I am thinking of doing some easier, fun desserts for it. So far I have a no bake egg-nog pie, pumpkin coffee cake and a gingerbread loaf with either a vanilla or orange icing. What do you think? Any other suggestions?

Just an update on my current fandom interests. I mostly just repost photography on Tumblr because I have never really used it as a personal fan blog just a place to watch. However on LJ I was into many fandoms from Highlander and Stargate to Smallville and Supernatural. Right now Marvel keeps me pretty busy with my main interest being Steve/Tony but I read a variety of things. I have started to get into the new DC Titans series so I feel my Batman interest being pulled back into frame. Otherwise I watch a bunch of dance shows, cooking shows, history and whatever is current on Netflix. So feel free to share!

I am enjoying getting ready for the holidays this week. We even have cold weather- for California that is. It puts me in the spirit. Also attempting a cross post here. Let’s see how it goes.

I am checking back into this site in response to what is happening on tumblr. I will wait and see what happens over there but wanted to make sure this is up and running just in case.
