on re-listening to my old cds- Man, I am still large with the Beastie Boy love.

Thanks. I am sorry to be all whiny, especially after having such a lovely Thanksgiving.

nah, retail hell is, well, hell. don't you worry about venting.

Nora is right. Retail is hellish. I don't think I could stand it. Glad you made it through, sj.

VS is for the most part much easier than Borders hell. It wouldn't be a bad job at all except for the managers a freakish. I think they think retail is the most important thing in the world. You take 10 seconds to breathe when there is a gap in between customers and they freak. We wear headphones and they are talking in our ear constantly about how much more money we NEED to make that hour. It's crazy making.

I've done retail, but that...no, just no.

oh no - tha's just wrong sj. yep, you drew the phsyco managers.

Tday was good this year - very relaxed with no snipeing . ( which happens on holidays occassionaly) friday I worked and it was way too dull. got home about 630ish - just as the parade was starting. so I got home threw on jeans and a scarf, grabbed a turkey leg and went down town . In time to catch the tap danceing xmas trees, the football players that were holding the 'danceing showflakes' ( giant ballons) , and most important, the imperial storm troopers and darth vader. We don't know why they are in the christmas parade.

Today i did some yard work. It was fun. I think I have finally recovered from the wedding garden work.

The dogs and cat are apparently none the worse for wear. I'm just kicking myself because we considered coming home last night instead of this morning and it would have been better for them if we had. They cooperated nicely, though, and confined their potty incidents to the concrete floor in the basement laundry room. I think I have the best pets, EVER.

Um, a WORLD of NO. That would drive me insane.

Cindy's post made me sniffly. I am so incredibly happy to be back at home. Our holiday was fairly decent. Not a lot of family drama and good food. One small problem with my twin sister, but I'm in the process of working that out.

With each passing year (and most likely because I've had children of my own) our own house feels like the place to be for the holidays. I love that feeling. I miss the feelings of childhood a little bit less each year--it's more fun to make news ones at this point.

good pets. and I think you need a new pet sitter.
