I've decided that I'm never moving from this couch again. Or at least not for the next couple of days.

Logically speaking, I think I overate on the third roast potato but - in my defense - they were awfull tasty, ~~and I'd do it again.~~

Theres a pile of presents under the tree, and should your name begin with the letters O, P or M then there is a high likelihood that they are for you.

I'll send them. Once I can move.

And fasten my skirt again.

I think I have a bit for you as well ~~you rolly polly hedgehog of a woman!~~. The food at the Wood house was magnificent, truly. I could get enough of that pumpkin pie myself, but then I do have a bit of a sweet tooth.

Shall I come round and roll you off? Can you waddle? I can bring oil and rub that great large belly of yours if you have a bit of pain now? I am joking, of course Penny! You don't have a large belly at all, at least last time I saw you.

	Roll me off? Waddle? Rub oil on my ginormous belly? I would think you ought to chose your next words very carefully, Mr Weasley as I assure you it is doing you no favours. For Christmas, you're getting a book on Etiquette: Charm for Dummies. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Glad that you ate enough. I believe mum is sending some cakes and pies back with me. I'll be back tonight. Prepare yourself. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Oh Ol. Your mother is a cruel, cruel woman. Torturing me with the idea of those heaven cakes and pies. Promise me one thing, next time you're doing a morning workout, take me with you? Even if I have to be dragged from bed ~~or throw things at you~~, I promise I'll be grateful at the end. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Will do. And I'm definitely keeping you to this. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_penny 2009-12-26 09:28 pm UTC (link)
	I know you will. And its one of the reasons I adore you for it. Private to Oliver Do I waddle? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Penny morning_wood 2009-12-26 09:33 pm UTC (link)
	No you don't waddle. Percy was just tearing the mickey out of you. Don't take him seriously...praise him for his sudden attempt at humor. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Post-consumption of Christmas food is Vulnerable girl time. I can take just about anything but not being accused of waddling. Or requiring oil to be rubbed on my body. Its an image I don't need. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Penny morning_wood 2009-12-26 09:39 pm UTC (link)
	Unless he's planning on rubbing oil on you in other ways. Wink wink nudge nudge. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Oliver _penny 2009-12-26 09:48 pm UTC (link)
	Did you just write wink wink nudge nudge?.. Oliver Wood you are priceless. And as for Percy rubbing me down with oil, well I think we're a bit past that stage. I'm not in the habit of letting my friends - even if they are exes - do that. Do we need to have The Talk, Mr Wood? About contraceptive potions? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Penny morning_wood 2009-12-26 09:57 pm UTC (link)
	...Why would we need to have a talk about contraceptive potions? I didn't get anyone preggers did I?! By the way, the twins got me a...toy shaped like a broomstick. I apologize if it ever - for whatever reason - would make it's way into a public area of the flat. I plan on hiding it forever, but you never know. The twins could come over and find it.

	Good. I just wanted to check you were aware of them. And why are you asking me?! A toy... oh. Oh. Um. Well. Thats a - um - thoughtful gift. Impractical but I'm sure its the gift that keeps on giving. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	That sounds horrific. But also like a successful Christmas. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	_penny 2009-12-27 01:45 am UTC (link)
	Very sucesessful Christmas. Theres nothing better than spending Christmas with friends and their families. How was yours? Private to Orsino Santa apparently delivered you a gift. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	oneandtwoand 2009-12-27 01:52 am UTC (link)
	It was OK. Had Christmas dinner at my parents' for a bit and then spent the rest of the night with the band. Lots of food and alcohol was consumed. Private to Penny Indeed. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_penny 2009-12-27 01:58 am UTC (link)
	I can only imagine the destruction and deprivation that took place. Was anyone sick? Private to Orsino He did! Its wrapped up nearly underneath our tree. Especial care was taken with the paper as well, all in all its a work of art. I've also sorted out my New Years Resolutions so its been a productive weekend. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

It was fairly typical, if that says anything. I don't really recall. I don't think so. I got home and fell asleep until about one o'clock in the afternoon, after which point it took me another two hours before my headache was gone.

And I proceeded to do something that is possibly quite stupid, but it has yet to prove to be.

Private to Penny

Well, that sounds exciting. That's odd that he would leave it under your tree when I have a perfectly respectable one.

I make those sometimes. Perhaps this year. What have you resolved?

I don't think I've ever slept until one o clock in the afternoon, but a three o clock headache/hangover sounds like a killer to be honest.

Quite possibly stupid? You strike me as an eminently sensible man, so now I'm intrigued as to what happened.

Did you get married?

Private to Orsino

Apparently Santas little helper forgot to Owl them in time to make it under your tree.

I've resolved to ~~lose weight~~ get in shape. And be Proactive regarding other matters in my life.

Hah, well, we had quite a celebration.

Generally, I am. But a combination of things led me to make a hasty, non-marriage related decision at about 6 o'clock.

As we speak, I have a dog curled up by my right foot. Actually, she is now licking my ankle. Now that I think about it...this is probably about as much of a commitment as a marriage.

Private to Penny

Probably drunk. What am I to do?

That's a good, if typical, resolution. But you seem quite proactive as is.

	_penny 2009-12-27 02:20 am UTC (link)
	Ankle licking in some countries is considered a vow of marriage. Possibly. Does she have a name? Private to Orsino Santas helper was not drunk, but was however busy trying to plan for Christmas at the last moment by writing out cards. Not when it counts ~~not with my family~~. And its typical when a..someone..suggests you waddle. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	oneandtwoand 2009-12-27 02:22 am UTC (link)
	Good thing it isn't here, or we'd have a whole other problem on our hands. Seven. Private to Penny Ah. I've only seen you in person maybe twice, but I don't recall you waddling on either occasion. Someone needs their eyes checked. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I do hate shopping for wedding gifts. I never know wether or not to go tacky or elegant.

Seven what? You've named a dog after a number?

Private to Orsino

Ah yes. Next year, she shall have Lists of Lists.

He was being funny I think. Maybe I'm over sensitive as we used to date when we were in Hogwarts. But thankyou, for not noticing I waddle.

Keep an eye on your windows, I sent an owl.

	Elegant's usually safer, or else people get offended. Just Seven. Lucky number, and all. Private to Penny Maybe. But you don't. Being done. Oh, you got the CDs, yeah? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_penny 2009-12-27 02:42 am UTC (link)
	Of course, and no one wants an offended bride on their hands. They're vicious. Fair enough. Is it seven or written as '7'? Private to Orsino The what? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	oneandtwoand 2009-12-27 02:45 am UTC (link)
	Written out. Although doing it as '7' might be sort of funny. Private to Penny Shit. I forgot, I sent them to Meghan to give you because a) I don't know your last name and b) I don't know where you live. She probably hasn't gotten around to forwarding them. Also, your owl just arrived. You are quite clever. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
