Slept like crap last night but I'm up, at work, and wearing fairly decent clothes. Though I don't typically wear my pirate shirt to work (red shirt, small skull and crossbones crest). Oh well.

Tonight is clean, pack, sleep, up at 4:30 to shower, finalize packing and be ready for the shuttle at 5:30. Oh, and hoping there is minimal to no snow overnight.

Has anyone gotten their eyebrows threaded, instead of waxed?

How do the two compare?

Welcome, Shane!

I'm still achey today, and cranky because of it. I want my range of unimpeded motion back, or at least a good story.

I dunno, it's okay for me to be reticent about the decade, but isn't Rich going to be very lonely when he does his best of next year?

I found threading to take way too damned long. I have an allergic reaction to wax above my eyebrows and have to have that plucked. Even with that the wax/plucking takes a shorter amount of time. I didn't see the advantage.

Didn't he say he probably won't bother next year, either?

Better night last night, I am just residually mad at life. Mac did not get himself to sleep and came to my room at 10pm and ended up sleeping with me. He has refused to let me lay down with him or to come lay down with me for at least 3 weeks now, it is one of the fastest ways for him to re-connect and feel safe, so I am glad he did it last night. 8 hours of sleep would normally do me good, but with him and the two cats I was awake over and over again. He probably only got 6-7 hours of sleep on Sunday, so the 8 solid hours will be good for him, but he should really be getting 9+. Still, an improvement.

Another half empty department at work. The goal is two piles of paper today, getting to the PO and getting a $10 gift for mac's afterschool stupid required secret santa thing.

I didn't see the advantage.

Good to know. Thanks!

My wife is distressed, we spotted the Sarah Palin book next to a Newsmax magazine, not far from the Glen Beck book. Her parents used to be center-right, but during the 2008 election have shifted right in a big way. Apparently they've decided now that CNN is too liberal and only trust Fox.

Of course, they are probably distressed that my wife is well over on the liberal side and, as my posts have revealed clearly, I'm a far left guy. I've warned my liberal family that politics may not be a good topic of discussion. My in-laws won't argue stuff, but they would probably get uncomfortable and that's not a good holiday feeling.

Woohoo Shane!!!

Yeah, that sounds like a good call...
