Merry Christmas, One and All!

And since I won't be here: Happy New Year!!
I'll see you all in a few weeks.

The One Day I get to Sleep In. . .

My phone rang this morning at 8:30. I can't believe it took me that long to recognize his voice. It hasn't changed at all. He doesn't even have an Italian accent. We got to talk for a while.

It's right up there with the best ways to wake up ever.

I've been listening to Mannheim Steamroller's Christmas CD nonstop. Someone just barely gave me and I haven't turned it off since. It finally feels like Christmas. Thank you thank you thank for that CD!!

Let the Countdowns Begin

Christmas is almost here! Yesterday I got to open my first present. It was perfect!! exactly what I asked for (I asked for world peace and it was a piece of a map; world piece)!! Even better was part II. .4% and the start of my Egypt fund. Absolutely wonderful.
Today Little Girl and I spent most of the day making presents for her parents. They turned out quite nice if I do say so myself! Anyway, Little Girl and I are getting along wonderfully now. No problems at all. I love my job.
Happy Christmas everyone!!

Countdown to Christmas: 5 Days
Countdown to Mexico: 6 Days

Countdown to the Day O'Doom: 109 Days

Don't pay any attention. It' just the depression talking

I can't fix anything, you know. Like someone once told me, I can't even save myself.

I missed Aneeka's Birthday. I told myself a million times not to forget it. Last night I realized it had been last week.

Last night I dreamed I was drinking blood and it made my throat sore. Now I have sore throat.

Yesterday I spent a lot of time in the rain. And then the rain turned to snow. I wasn't cold.

I knew him, you know. I had the privilege of spending a few days with him. He was really funny. A genuinly nice person. And now I can't so anything. I can't even admit that I'll be devastated when he dies, that I'm devastated now, because who cares about the ex-girlfriend, right? Anything I do will just make the situation a million times worse. I can't fix anything. I can't even fix myself.

Past Week

So, notable events of the past week. . .

Let's see.
Last Friday was the Quark Dance. It was amazing. Tim was nice enough to let me dance with him almost the whole time. He even taught me a basic tango!
Saturday was Drek's birthday. It involved much secretnes and much coldnes.
Sunday was Drek's birthday part II. That was more secretnes, the phone stealing kind of secretness, and a lot of fun.
Tuesday was Kris's last night as a single. We both got very tired and ate some goldfish. Poor Sarah. She called us, but neither of us were coherent enough to talk to her. Anyway, Kris and I watched Da Vinci Code. I loved it. Kris said it was tool time.
Wednesday was the wedding of Krateizling. It was a success.
Friday Drek and I got lost in a parking garage. Luckily, he has an amazing sence of direction and was able to get us not lost.
Today was Trans-Siberian Orchestra day!! Hooray!! it was amazing!! There was fire, and lasers, and strobe lights, and singing, and instrument playing. Such a day could only be ended with fudge.

I saw me life flash before me eyes.

Today I got to go shopping with my mother and my wonderfully pregnant sister. We came home by way of State Street. My mother was driving, my sister and not-yet-neice/nephew were in the front seat. Suddenly we relized that there was a car coming towards us very quickly in our lane.What I mean to say is that he was driving north in an south bound lane. He was coming straight for us and accelerating. My mother slammed on the brakes and he swerved into the suicide lane, back onto the correct side of the road, and kept going, speeding like a demon, only to crash into two cars.

Apparently, it was quite the ordeal.

Yeah. So, that was an adventure.

Changing topics, on May 17 I posted that I was going to get a princess dress for the wedding of Krateizzling. Seven months later, and five days before the wedding, I finally got my princess dress. Actually, it's not so much a princess dress as a slinky dress. As in: "If I'm going to buy a dress I want one with a little more slink."
But I think it still qualifies as a princess dress.
