Get up...get up, you stupid piece of... What did you do that for? What's wrong with you? Didn't you hear a word he said? All of you! You think there's someone just going to drop money on you?! Money they could use?! Well, there ain't people like that. There's just people like me.

I also have had my eyebrows done which was my big goal for this weekend. DOH. I have procurred cute new eyeglass frames. In January or February, I'll replace the lenses.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I haven't done any of the Holiday baking I wanted and I have more shopping to do and I need to mail. I am usually more on top of things. The grump is strong.

This is me too. Only my grump has been significantly abated. In looking for reasons, I am tempted to point towards the increase in hugs at the reunion, as supposedly every touch or hug gives you a hit of oxytocin.

Homemade prezzies are the best, Kat, but I understand how the stress that motivated the making can make them less fun to give.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

I made some cookies. I also ate too many in their various forms: partly made dough, dough, baked and baked with glaze.

Oh man, Kat. That all sounds frustrating and exhausting. Though I'm kind of jealous of the baking. I told my sister we have to do a lot of baking when I get to her place.

I'm also looking forward to downtime, and am contemplating changing my plane ticket--on the one hand, I want to spend time with my BFF after the wedding (they're going to a cabin in he woods with a bunch of friends and I said I'd go), on the other hand, I could go be at HOME for a few days. Torn.

Feh. Well, I'll be rooting for the Saints to make an AMAZING comeback.

Worked for Green Bay, anyway.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Come home and mac has of course done NOTHING except sit and watch tv. food still out from last night, dishes out. I remind him that he needs to practice trombone and clean up.

I know it's a pain and you don't need one. more. thing. right now, but it makes me smile to see him do such normal annoying teenage boy shit.

Yeah, Trudy. It is kinda an amazing place to be able to be annoyed with him for this stuff. Especially since it is only occurring because HE CAN AND WILL STAY BY HIMSELF NOW and not freak out like a mammal. He still demands hugs and snuggles most night too, so really, we are in a good place. It is just every little thing right now.

I told a guy at the office today, I am mad at everything, I am at the point of saying "Fuck You, air". SO, there is that. I am trying deep breathing and mindful awareness of thought and lots of other hippy dippy brain sciency things to make me less of an ogre. we'll see.

I wish you co-operative neurotransmitters, msbelle, and co-operative co-workers.

Someone should go buy mega millions tickets and start working on this Buffista retirement fund thing.
