Home Safe and Sound

We had our Yuletide celebration this afternoon/evening. We had a great time. The ritual was uplifting and energizing. Then we had lasagna and subs. An odd combo, I know, but our fearless leader's boyfriend decided to make lasagna at the last minute, and she had already ordered the subs, so there you go. The lasagna was amazing. Cary is a fantastic cook.

After that, most of us stayed around the kitchen table and talked and laughed, while the men folk watched the Giants/Ravens game. The Giants lost, so they are out of the play-offs this year. >:(

After the game was over, we had tiramisu, which was also fantastic. Then we exchanged gifts. I got the softest blanket ever. It has a winter scene on it with a fox. It's gorgeous.

I was a little upset all day, though because after I stopped at the toll booth to get my ticket, my cruise control light started flashing and the cruise control wouldn't work. Then the "check engine" light came on. Bugger! It did the same thing all the way home, too. Now I have to wait until next week to get it looked at and see what is wrong. I hope it's nothing major. It's always an adventure going to Albany, one way or another.
