| Christmas? Over already? |
Every year I say the same thing. All that shopping and worrying about gifts, and prices, and bills, and time, and the Who's down in Whoville with all the noise, noise, noise, that after the holidays are over I always go--well, damn, all that for one day. It just seems like so much crazy and it's all over so fast. I love Christmas though, and I love it even more when I can spend a lot of money. heh, heh. Yes, I can be materialistic. I shouldn't be, it should be about being with loved ones and loving that I have decent health (notice I didn't say good. I love my chips!) but anyway, I did enjoy my holiday. Even though a dark cloud was cast with my grandma passing, it was still good. It was okay with her death because she had a long, good life. She saw her kids everyday, was taken care of, always had company, laughed a lot and enjoyed herself for a long time. I also think it's a bit of a relief for my mom and aunts to get a break from helping her. She was a lot of work. Rest in Peace Grandma!
I also hope everyone got what they wanted for Christmas. I did have fun just hanging out and doing nothing. I went out to eat a few times and enjoyed sleeping in. If it hadn't been for my damn boot search things would have been better. You don't want to know how hard it's been searching for boots, both on foot and online. I feel like I've been searching for the Arc of the Covenant! for God's sake! Sheesh! I did finally find some--Columbia boots from Amazon.com. I hope to God they fit. The other ones I had were too small and I had to send them back, it sucked because I loved them. Argh!
Right now I'm cooking dinner and watching La Femme Nikita. I have decided to go on a TV on DVD surge and I'm re-watching a lot of my favs from the beginning and also putting a lot of TV show's that I haven't seen but would like to see in my Netflix Queue such as: Mad Men, How I Met Your Mother, The Wire, and Dexter to name a few. Thank God for time off!Labels: christmas, grandma |

| Christmas came, it came just the same |
Well, I am sure that kids everywhere were up an hour ago (I'm up typing this at 3:27 am) freaking out over their Wii's and High School Musical Tour buses, and Xbox 360's and Barbies and remote control cars. I remember toys on Christmas. I cetainly remember Christmas day. I COULD NOT WAIT to open gifts, and I remember unwrapping and seeing all the stuff and just toys, toys, toys! I remember wanting to believe in Santa, and for a short while ACTUALLY literally believing that he existed and wanting to keep that alive (for some reason).
I wish I had kids now just for that reason. But as I got older I enjoyed more giving than receiving (though receiving is still very, very good) but I came to realize that to really enjoy what I receive I have to buy it myself. Not to say that I don't get some decent gifts, but sometimes I have to draw blueprints and get all Splinter cell with tracking chips for the person to actually get the gift right. Sometimes not even worth it, I'll just buy it myself. Still, I do like giving and seeing the persons face light up when they open it and I REALLY know they wanted it. It's just great to see them unwrapping and not being able to tell what the package is and then, WOW! They can't believe it. I like them having no idea what it could be. heehee.
I looked at my favorite Christmas cartoon "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" I love it, so I'm happy about that too. See, it doesn't take much to make me happy. I keep telling people!
I guess that is the joys (and miseries) of getting older. I still get a bit giddy, but just a tad. I still love Christmas but it's a little sad that I can't get that childish glee like I used too. Oh well. I DO get it when I buy for myself so I believe that counts. At any rate, I just wanted to pop on to tell you guys Merry Christmas. I'm gonna make my rounds to you guys tomorrow, so clean up, put out the good linen and some snacks--I'm be hungry. But we can sit and have a nice chat, it's Christmas after all. I do not have my Christmas Poem like I had before, but I still plan on (for real this time) doing something different with my blog.
Again, I miss having my good handful of usual readers. I miss that very much, but I still think I want to change my blog, if not for anyone but myself. Tidy it and dare I say, change it from Buffy. (!) Could be, could be. Well, I hope you all enjoy your day, however you spend it. That is what counts!

| FA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA |
Can you tell I had no imagination for my blog title? Anyway, I can't believe this week is coming to a close. I fought long and hard to get to Friday. Damn! It was a hard fight, D-Day hard. I plan on enjoying the weekend. My birthday is Friday. I'm posting this on Thursday, that's because I probably will forget to post this on Friday. So...I'm gonna say Happy Birthday to me--TODAY! hehehe. I'm pretty much done Christmas shopping. I did the bulk online as usual. The best way to go. I'm just gonna chill this weekend. I can't wait to sleep in. Yea! The best part of the weekend.
I'm gonna have some time off next week. Not a lot, but a little and I'm gonna enjoy it. I don't have much to say today, but I hope everyone is enjoying the pre-holidays. Christmas is my favorite Holiday, but I'd like it more if I had kids. I like toys and buying toys. lol.
So, Happy Friday to everyone and Happy Holidays. I plan on being back before Christmas, but have a good weekend everyone.Labels: birthday, christmas, weekend |

| And Peace Be Unto To You |
I went out AGAIN today and stayed out waaaaay longer than I planned too. I don't know if I told you but my family decided not to go overboard with Christmas and didn't want to exchange gifts. Lo and Behold here are gathered tonight and exchanging gifts anyway and I didn't even have anything to give! But that's okay, they didn't mind. Still, stick with the story people. We said not to buy gifts. Sheesh. *grumble* I hate Christmas.
Well, it's all over now. Little kids can hardly wait. I remember those days. It makes me want to have a baby tomorrow just so I can buy Christmas gifts. haha. I decided to toss in a couple extra holidays this year, but as always, howevery you celebrate, do it in style.
Well, I shall make my rounds to your blogs, but if I don't stop by and comment you know who you are and you know I'm thinking of you. ALL of my bloggy friends, have a safe and fun holiday, whatever you do. See you soon.
MERRY CHRISTMUHKWANZAA!

| I Hate Christmas |
Okay, really I don't. Actually, I'm pretty fond of Christmas, but the last few years has brought stress and worry and trying to be all Christmassy and AARRGH! I never felt that stress before. I always read about people committing suicide and being all strung out and I kinda understood it but couldn't relate. I can now!
What was stupid I did this year was there are 3 attorney's at work and sorta talk too and are friendly with and I thought about giving them a Christmas card and didn't and damn it, they ALL gave me gifts! I felt so dumb, I wish I had taken my cards to work so when they gave me something I could have whipped out at least a Christmas card for them. I know none of them expected us to give gifts, or cards either, but I wanted to say that I was thinking of them this Christmas like they thought of me. Oh well, too late.
This is why I hate Christmas. And if for those of that don't know where I got that line from it's from Oscar the Grouch and his famous I hate Christmas song. Ahh, the memories. I LOVED, LOVED, LOVED Sesame Street. Seriously, I cried when Mr. Hooper died, my sister told me he was dead and I didn't believe her I thought she was being mean, I remember crying to my mom all devastated that he was (!) dead!? Ack! Yes, I loved me some Sesame Street. Sigh.
~~~~~~~
I'm going to the Star Wars Exhibit and the Museum of Science and Industry. I should be good times. Can't wait.
Is everyone done shopping? Hope so, it's crunch time. The desperate shoppers will be out this weekend. LOL.
Well, see you later and enjoy your weekend.Labels: christmas, weekend |

| Living Hell |
I was planning on actually having a bedazled, Christmas decked out blog, but alas I have not been in the mood. The thing I chose not to blog about anymore, and my three readers know what I'm talking about has taken a turn for the worse, bad to the point I wonder if I will have somewhere to get up and go to in the morning. I am just trying to hold on, so we'll see what happens. I had to let out a little frustration on here or I might implode.
I also plan on cleaning up my blog roll. Not that anyone cares, but there are at least 10 bloggers on there whose pages don't even exist anymore, High Desert Diva, one of my favorites being one of them. I plan on putting out an APB for those bloggers when I get a chance. I feel a little sad that they're just gone and I didn't get a chance to bid farewell or a least know in advance that they weren't going to blog anymore.
Even though I don't blog as much as I used too, I still plan on blogging for a long time before I give it up. I like stopping by and making posts and visiting my regulars, and it's nice, for those few minutes that I can get outside of my life for a while. I sure as hell hope 2008 has something good in store for me. I need it with a vengeance. I have been doing some things and I hope soon I will be able to have good news to post. When all is said and done I will post a open, raw, cathartic post about it all and the many lessons I've learned. So, until then...
Hope everyone is staying warm! I might not be back for a while, my mind just can't calm down right now and I have to focus on other things, so if you haven't heard from me in days or weeks, I'm alive and around. I just need to deal with my current situation before I can relax.
be seeing youLabels: blogging, christmas, job, work |

| Mall Rat |
I took today off and decided to go to this mall that I hadn't been to in years. Well, i hasn't changed much. LOL. Not that I was looking to spend tons of money, but there wasn't even anything much to tempt me, though I did see some nice stuff in Sears of all places.
I ended up spending $50 dollars on collectable figures in a store that's closing this month. The stuff wasn't that cheap, just 25% off the sale prices (should have been 50%) but I bought some stuff anyway. I know it wasn't money well spent and I shouldn't have done it, but oh well, too late now. lol
One of things I bought was this McFarlane toy figure from Lost of Sawyer. He's one of the characters from the show. It as marked down to $14.99 and then was 25% off of that, so I got it since I like Sawyer and I've never seen it anywhere marked down. I didn't want to pay $20+ for it. I also got Mr. Eko from the show. I'm going to take a pic and post them. Ahhh, some day. Heh.
I'm pretty much done Christmas shopping. Many in my family opted not to exchange gifts this year, which is fine 'cause then I don't have spend any money, well, much money. I'm still buying stuff for my mom. Anyway, I plan on going to watch my Netflix movies and read some more of I Am Legend.
Hope you guys are doing well, see you later.Labels: christmas, lost toys, mcfarlane |

| From trees to bras and underwear |
I was going to say "panties" in my blog post, but I remember a little blurb I read about men creating and using that word as sexist and titillating, so, I'll use underwear.
I FINALLY, yes, FINALLY decorated my tree. I had it up and the lights on it, but I finally put ornaments on it today. I don't have batteries for my digital camera, but I'm gonna get some sometime soon and I'll take a picture and post it. It's fake tree, and, well...cheap. heh. But I think it's a nice little Charlie Brown tree for what it is and it looks pretty when it's lit up.
*********
On another note, the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show is on tonight. Gonna watch? Of course you are! We know where ever man in the country will be tonight. I've seen some clips and WHOA NELLY! Those bra and underwear sets, man, they barely cover. I think you could only have a body like them to wear those things. They look good though. I have to say, I get a tad jealous, but then I know I'm falling into that group of women and girls who think that is the standard of beauty, but it isn't. Why?
Because the were BORN LOOKING LIKE THAT! Well, not at first, but it was in their genetic make-up for those bodies and along with eating a carrot and 3 times their weight in water for their dinner, they achieve that look. Yes, they are beautiful, and yes, I'd like to have their bodies, but they are in a different class altogether, like aliens.
Anyhoo, I'm off to do some things on the internet. See you guys later.Labels: christmas, victoria secret |

| It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas! |
Wow, I didn't mean to be gone for so long. I was so hung up on getting time off from work and shopping and paying bills I just didn't fit in time for blogging, and I'm really sorry I didn't stop by on Thursday the 22nd to wish everyone a wonderful Thanksgiving. So, HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE!
I had a wonderful time off, relaxed, slept, shopped and watched TV. Oh, and I ate too. :)
I went out on Black Friday, though not as early as I did last year. With the exception of a couple of things, I was able to get everything I set out for, which was good because I was glad I didn't need to get out at 5am. I let the house at about 7:15am so that was good enough.
I mostly bought DVD's but I bought some pajamas, and some stuff for the house too. All in all it was a great day. So, approximately $161.47 in debt I now have added to my enormous pile of bills. But I still enjoyed the day. Now, if I can actually pay my bills on time and stop spending hundreds on late fees. God, this is my third one this month, am I an idiot or what? DON'T ANSWER THAT! ahem, moving on...
I hope everyone enjoyed their time off and together, I'm going to stop by and check on you guys, it's been too long! Man, it will soon be December. The Christmas rush is here! I don't know if I'll blog during the week, but see you next weekend. Take care!Labels: black friday, christmas, holiday |
