This weekend we have to rake 10 zillion leaves, procure a Christmas tree, and then I work Sunday 1-10, Monday 1-10, and mr. flea leaves Tuesday AM and isn't back until Saturday so I am working a six-day week with two nights and solo parenting and why did you ask now I am depressed.
Spike: At least give me Wesley's office since he's gone. Angel: He's not gone. He's on a leave of absence. Spike: Yeah, right. Boo-hoo. Thought he killed his bloody father. Try staking your mother when she's coming on to you! Harmony: Well…that explains a lot.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Exchange a birthday gift, go to Target for a new vacuum (finally decided I can't justify the cost of a new Roomba battery), very possibly look at refrigerators at Sears. Then spend Sunday weeping at how I will never be out of debt.

Saturday: Dropping off a check at the bank and then working a short shift at the bookstore, then when I get home, finish cleaning my apartment in preparation for Sunday's putting up of the Christmas tree and decorations, which will probably not get done until Monday night.
Oh, and I'm on track to finish Mom's Christmas present this weekend, too! (A cross-stitch of Santa with his book of names--I just have to finish backstitching his robe.)

Saturday: cleaning and dejunking. Saturday night: Toys for Tots barbeque at a local bar. Sunday: cleaning and dejunking that I probably bailed on doing Saturday.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

OMG-- FLUFFY! Looks so much like Mooshu did as a baby.
ETA, because O.J. definitely not much with the fluffy.

ARGH. How do I not have any outfits appropriate for going to a cocktail-y christmas party?? I have several formal dresses. Long and gorgeous. But those are TOO formal. I have several work-wear dresses, which are not nice enough, not fun and December-y enough. Not enough bling. But I have nothing short or sparkly or anything. Not even separates. My wardrobe has CASUAL and it WORK and it has FORMAL and it has nothing in the middle. WTF, wardrobe? How have you failed me?? And how can I go find something perfect in the next THREE HOURS???
Damnit. Because of course, I had to actually do some work, this morning.
I might feel just a little pressure to look nice and Just Right at the girl's company Christmas party, for which I have NO IDEA how people are dressing. Because, of course, she first claimed it was "semi-casual" (which I told her was NOT A DRESS CODE!) and which she then claimed yesterday "Oh, by the way, a lot of people are like, dressing up for this". SIGH.

I'm having an unlucky week. I've wiped out on ice, gotten pulled into tons of last-minute meetings, had a project come back from the dead to haunt me all week, broken a glass I liked, had light bulbs pop the moment I turn on a light, scalded my hand on coffee, AND it's four frigging degrees outside right now.
I'm bruised, scratched, and randomly bleeding, and at this rate I'm worried that I'll need a crash helmet to get through the weekend.

Scoop-neck cashmere sweater, shortish straight skirt (wool or suit fabric), fun/sparkly/lace hose/tights, a little earring bling? You must have 3 out of 4 of those.
