Nov. 8th, 2004 11:55 amThe christening went okay yesterday, I had a nice time with the in-laws, especially my niece who's the cutest little two year old in the world. Of course she wouldn't stay quiet in the Church so I did my best to entertain her while the actual christening went on. That didn't stop her taking off under the pews though, thankfully Corey was on the case and brought her back *g*
After we drove to the pub where there was the worst disco ever. For one thing it was loud, very loud. I love music, I max it up myself when I'm alone but not in a setting like that. There was an okay buffet, typical buffet food, pickled onions, pineapple and cheese on sticks etc. I had to laugh when Corey went back for some cake. Most people were helping themselves to small pieces he came back with two huge wedges. But yeah it was fun, the only bad bit was the room was up two steep flights of stairs and the MiL has really bad knees and could hardly get up. She also got stuck in her chair, it's so hard to see.
James has actually gone to see his mam now. He says he wants to spend time with her and I'm sure he does. On the other hand the fact her house is a minutes drive from the garage and his new car helps too ;)
I'm thinking of stealing an idea from
giddyupnow and
escapist_xbq for my Christmas cards, I was wanting to add something and in a choice between cds and ficlets the cd idea won. So look for a post later about that.
Last, Corey and I did the art pad thing. Our effort is http://artpad.art.com/?i6t3711hktf8. I'd love to say it's as good as some I've seen but well, it's just not.
I know technically it's too early to dust off my Christmas icon but I had to, I'm weak like that.
ETA: Okay, a question to you Brits out there. You know that advert about the Chinese little girls and the singing cherry on the cake? What the hell is it about? The cherry is freaky and I just don't get to how it relates to the product.
