The Queenland of Broomhilda is up and running again!!!!!

So much to tell -

As previously promised, below are some wedding pictures. The wedding was beautiful, outside in the Forrest preserve and the weather was perfect. Manic Witch did a fabulous job as our Priestess. Haggar and I did not get a honeymoon however, owing to the fact that the asshat of a landlord-whom had praised the job we were doing in taking care of the outdoor storage-decided that he wanted this gang-banging dope dealer to run the place and we needed to move. This guy has ex-landlord completely snowed. We had twenty days to move.

We moved into my brothers basement for about a month before finding a place of our own. We found what was advertised as a 4 room studio, turns out that it is really a small two bedroom. The rent is cheap, landlord pays for the heat and water and the neighborhood is not too bad. Only problems are;

1 - Haggar has allergies and we live behind a flower shop (good thinking on that one!)

2 - There is a pub less than 60 seconds away and on Wednesday nights from 8 p.m. to midnight, $5.00 cover charge and all tap beer and rail drinks are free. (not quite sure that this is a problem)

3 - There is a walk-through from the alley to the street, it passes right outside our living room and kitchen windows. (We get a lot of drunks staggering by).

4 - The entrance to our apartment is just off the afore mentioned walkway. We have had drunks puking, pissing, and one time a couple of hoods striping down a stereo-all outside of our bedroom window. Haggar chased them off (I may write about that more later)

Other than that, we are as snug as bugs in a rug.

Thanksgiving was spent at my brothers (Yore) house. Sis-in-law (Helga) made a wonderful turkey, mashed potatoes, our traditional sage stuffing, rolls, candied sweet potatoes (not yams), gravy, opened the can of cranberry sauce (you know it's only good when can shaped) and the best deviled eggs on the planet. Sis (Hildegard) made an ass kickin' ham, candied yams (different from sweet potatoes), cornbread stuffing, a vegie tray, brought the pumpkin, cherry, apple and pecan pies and made cookies. I made brussel sprouts and corn on the cob (apparently, that is all they thought I could handle this year). A grand feast was had by all-those not smart enough to wear sweat pants, well lets just say, belts were opening all over the place.

I like snow for Yule/Christmas-Suzy Snowflake and her sisters gently dancing their way to the ground. Dancing on tree branches and houses, sparkling like miniature diamonds in the morning sun. Didn't Happen! As you are aware, by my last post, that on December 2 we had a fuckin' blizzard and Ice!!!!! I know what you're thinking - at least you had a white holiday - fuuck no! The shit had all melted a week later. Our temps have been averaging in the 40's.

So no snow for Yule/Christmas. A few days before the holiday, Haggar fell down some steps (he's going to live) and has a lovely bruise on his left ass cheek and lower back. I took him to the emergency room here in Kenosha, he was complaining of pain in his back (duh! You'll see in a minute) stating that his legs were numb while in the car and that his arm from shoulder to elbow were as well. They ex-rayed his neck and did a CT scan. They never even looked at his back (told ya)! We went home.

Haggar was fighting with his family (again) so we didn't go to Christmas dinner at his sisters. No gifts were exchanged.

We were arguing, I had a cold (feeling as if I had been shot at and missed, and shit at and hit) and spent the holiday on the sofa.

No Christmas dinner and gift exchange at Hildegards. No ham or Turkey or stuffing, no candied yams or mashed potatoes, no hot rolls, no cranberry sauce and worst of all, no pie. Nothing! Stayed home mad and sick eating chicken soup and drinking tea. No grand feast for us, Haggar wore sweats anyway.

It is now New Years Eve day, I know, this post is too fucking long. Too bad. I'm pretty much chillin' for now. We are going to a New Years Eve party tonight, it's an overnighter, no drunk driving.

I wish for you all to have a Happy and Safe holiday!

The year is almost over and I am on the last of my ponderables.


330) Birthdays only come once a year... Aren't you glad you're not a birthday :)

331) Long ago when men cursed and beat the ground with sticks, it was called witchcraft ........Today, it's called Golf.

332) How many licks does it really take to get to the center of a Tootsie pop?

333) Are the Blue Man Group related to the Smurfs?

See you next year.

Ok who did it? You just couldn't be nice about it could you?

Normally I look forward to the first snow fall of the year.

Did we get gentle flakes falling - a light dusting covering the trees and ground - making it look all Christmasey.

Fuck no! You send me a blizzard!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BTW - Alan, we cleared the primary nest in Kenosha. Prisoners were taken.

Viccus - ...........
