The above clay characters, created by Bossy’s daughter, represent all the things Bossy and her family have been doing over the Christmas break so far! Except for the skating on a pond part. And the being upright part.
First Bossy cooked a lot of things. Like this:
And like this:
Not to be confused with this:
And then Bossy ate a lot of things, like food served over a bed of food with a side order of food:
And then Bossy and her family exchanged presents. Bossy was given a potholder, woven by her daughter:
Bossy was also given a tripod, woven by her husband:

December 28, 2009 at 3:26 pmLove the negligee. I have a similar one that was recently re-dressed in pineapple banana juice.

December 28, 2009 at 4:55 pmSo, remember that time that we were drinking and eating tomato and sand canapes and I told you that my liver hurt? Ditto that. I ate the Twelve Days of Christmas and chased it with rum.
MariaV says
December 28, 2009 at 5:01 pmI cooked foil too. We must be soul sisters.
The mini tripod might come in handy. I vote for keeping it. I bought a light, weight, sturdy tripod for $20 on ebay. I will send you the link if you are interested.
dgm says
December 28, 2009 at 5:38 pmI have squat little legs that don’t extend, and I am very useful.
apathy lounge says
December 28, 2009 at 5:43 pmCooking with foil? Were you camping out? Just wondering.
Jenn @ Juggling LIfe says
December 28, 2009 at 5:58 pmI have a selection of that very same food here. Or at least the very same foil.
David says
December 28, 2009 at 6:08 pmAre you SURE that the legs don’t extend or does it just seem that way? Because I’m not sayin’ that you might on occasion have trouble with anything mechanical but I’m just sayin’.
Meg at the Members Lounge says
December 28, 2009 at 6:25 pmExactly how does Bossy’s daughter know about Mister Bill? The clay figures better be careful for the rest of school vacation.
Bush Babe (of Granite Glen) says
December 28, 2009 at 6:31 pmdgm – cracked me up!!!
And the sleep bit.. I dream of that.
What age do kids have to be before THAT kicks in?

Martha in Kansas says
December 28, 2009 at 8:40 pmThe tripod could come in handy for Barbie’s next reenactment of current events!
Catherine McP says
December 28, 2009 at 8:51 pmI want some of the food on a bed of food.
The Know it All says
December 28, 2009 at 9:59 pmI asked for two nights of sleep at the Ritz Carlton for Christmas two years in a row….I’m still waiting.

December 28, 2009 at 10:14 pmHey your set of Tupperware matches mine!
I wish I could keep sleeping – I am one of three people doomed to go into the office during this week, because I don’t want to use up my vacation hours. It is excruciatingly boring!
OTOH, since no one else is around, we kind of slack off, so it’s not so bad.
Little Miss Sunshine State says
December 28, 2009 at 11:25 pmThat foil food looks like my foil covered ham, my foil covered turkey and my foil covered chocolate cream pie.
My holiday retail sleep schedule was “if I’m awake, I must be at work”
Jason says
December 28, 2009 at 11:44 pmIt seems that it was a very Bossy Christmas!
Cactus Petunia says
December 29, 2009 at 2:29 amThat little tripod would be perfect for shooting Bossy’s house/shoebox diorama!
sherry says
December 29, 2009 at 10:16 amRight there on the box, it says “Extends to ? inches”. Not wearing my trifocals but maybe 12.1 inches?
Gigi says
December 29, 2009 at 11:01 amThat potholder? Best gift ever.
Minnie says
December 29, 2009 at 2:12 pmThe tripod legs no doubt unscrew and extend Bossy.
Grandma J says
December 29, 2009 at 2:13 pmMy mother would insist on recycling that foil.
Sissy in Texas says
December 29, 2009 at 2:35 pmMy mother would have already recycled that foil so many times you would get cuts trying to smooth it out from all the tiny crinkles from being folded up origami style.
Next, we would re-wash the plastic silverware that she saved from last year. When asked why we didn’t just use regular silverware if we were going to wash it, she would tell me I was wasteful and a smart aleck. Both true.
Dave in Denver says
December 29, 2009 at 5:04 pmSome Random Thoughts:
1) A ‘potholder’ is the gift that keeps on giving!
2) Recycling foil is never as easy as you think it will be.
3) Loved the claymation photo…reminds me of the old-school kids programs that are on TV during the holidays.
Dawn in Austin, but not really because she's in Phoenix says
December 29, 2009 at 5:49 pmThis year, due to travel and familly issues, we have yet to have the meal that tastes better after having spent the night in foil. No ham, no turkey. *sigh* what I wouldn’t give for a leftover right about now.
Life with Kaishon says
January 3, 2010 at 9:13 pmHa Ha Ha Ha HA! So funny. I need a tri pod. I wish my husband would have gotten one for me. He got me a watch. It is the ugliest watch in America. I HATE every present he ever gets me. I used to tell him but it hurt his feelings so now I pretend. Pretend to love the ugliest watch ever…. And I am only writing this here because he never reads my blog so I am pretty sure he does not read yours. : ) Don’t tell him! PS LOVE your sleep chart! I don’t want to come back to the city tomorrow! I want this vacation to go on and on….
