It has hit. It's rainy and warm, I blasting Christmas carols in an attempt to ward off the blas... thus far I'd say things are neck in neck between Bla and yeah! Christmas.
Last night I was in a very funky mood, all I wanted was someone somewhere to do something nice for me, lift something, wash something, ANY thing... I think that funk started when my husband called and asked me to make him a salad and he could hot up his own dinner as I had a meeting.
WTH? You can't pull lettuce out of the fridge, use the pre-cut carrots and celery (by ME) and slice your own freaking tomato into a bowl??? What is the hard part of this dear? Sharp objects? The location of the veggie drawer, craftily nested in the fridge - after all that lower lever trips up a lot of people, one must look down to see it -- it's not on the top shelf dancing like the commercials (Pick me! Pick me!)
Tossed the salad makings on the counter, pulled down a bowl, the knife and left. It was better than making his salad and leaving it for him in his chair. The dog would have eaten the carrots and lettuce gives her killer puppy farts....
Yeah let's go with that...
OK -- so walked away from my desk, talked to a few co-workers and Yeah! Christmas feeling is starting to edge out the blas... I busted my hump making cookies, gave buckets to all my co-workers yesterday (bought at the Dollar store last year) and I just got the best compliments from folks including the new "boss" who is still in the "eh" category, I included her in my gift giving, but since she's talked about losing 50 pounds and working hard at another 40 I gave her hand picked fruit instead of cookies. In the nice bucket ... she was so happy she's thanked me for two days, and just a few minutes ago she said she posted my bucket of fruit on her Facebook page and gave me credit - without naming names. We can't do that... ;-)
So, the feeling of I'm giving giving and getting nothing back - currently isn't holding true I'm getting lots of compliments on the baking.
Oh and did I mention Carpool Buddy gave me a memory stick with 899 Christmas songs -- no that isn't a typo -- 899 Christmas songs with everything from Hawaiian Christmas to Elvis to Country and Bluegrass... he had a great time scrolling through on the way home sampling all the songs and telling me about this that and the other... I won't need to change the radio the entire trip to PA and back, and every ride in between... see more Yeah! Christmas!
Its my last day at work for a week, I am trying to make plans to watch football with my family on Sunday, my in-laws have changed plans for Wednesday -- on Monday thank you very much ... I have no idea what we are doing when and frankly at this point... don't care. I am getting close to staying in my PJ's all day Christmas and drinking egg nog and eating cookies. Screw the world. Me and Shelby are staying home alone - because if Bubba stays too -- we'll need more nog; and that much dairy product in my system would not make for happiness... I'll stick to the straight liquor.
All right off to apply for another job to get me out of this one! Although having nothing to do for two days did allow me to catch up on other paperwork I needed to get done. Goodness what would I do if I had a job that I had to work hard at...
check back - there might be a Christmas wrap up or there might be a post establishing an alibi.
Merry Christmas... Aunt Ing.
