lunchtime poll

So dude. I have had this Christmas tree up for nearly a month. Enough is enough! I announced over the weekend that tomorrow I am hauling it out and packing it away. That was greeted by Richard (my better half?) with a mild protest. He wants it up till after New Years. Ew. I mean, okay, people all have traditions. My mother and I have been known to take it down Christmas Day. Come on, *after presents* of course! We’d even wait till after lunch, then out it went! So for me the thing is well outlived its welcome. So my question is: When is the appropriate time to de-Christmasify your home?


when do you take the tree down?

Dramatic Gasp!

I just read a phrase that made me want to gouge out my own eyes and set myself on fire. A phrase that made my stomach turn. I can’t. Even. Think. About. It.

*shudder*

Of Birthdays and Blogging
what's up?

So today is my mother’s birthday. Aw. My mom! And I am nowhere near her. I sent her flowers tho. They got there early. I figured since they screwed up the last time so bad (the 1-800-Flowers people, I mean) I sent them over to her 2 days early to account for the delivery suckage. I don’t know how much she liked them. I didn’t hear from her for a full day after I got the delivery confirmation in my email. Weird. And even then her note was about so many other things. I dunno. I hate being so far sometimes. I miss my family. It’s the things like birthdays and Mother’s Day that make me feel it more. Don’t get me started on Christmas…

Anyhoo, tonight is pretty low key. Richard is watching the shows he’s missed somehow even tho I saw them. (Isn’t the DVR technology just grand?) I am up here in the office looking at a lot of blogs but not commenting. I need to comment more, I know. I am just in a weird spot right now. I figure if I can get posting on my own blog 3 times a day again it will be time to go play more social again. You see, I was reading this interesting post over at The Blog Herald. And before you can even say it, yes. Yes I am a blogger that reads about blogs and blogging. I find it balances all of my celebrity gossip consumption.

Holiday 2007, Recapped
what's up?

Christmas time is almost done. I am soooo excited. Do I even have to tell you? Heh. So excited.

I actually had a nice holiday. Christmas eve we had nibbley things and hung out at the house. We toasted the end of the holiday shopping season with champagne! We watched A Christmas Story. I love that stupid movie! Then the next day we slept in, as I mentioned. I baked up some naughty treats for breakfast. Did a few chores. Oh, come on! I know chores on Christmas kinda sucks… But we had been working the past 7 days!! So anyhoo, after that business was done we got all pretty to meet the girls for Christmas Lunch. (It’s not just lunch that day, it’s got to be Christmas Lunch.) Good thing we dressed up too. You should see how gorgeous the gals looked… In fact you can, on my Flickr! So it was me and my Richard, Sheila, and her two lovely daughters having a holiday meal outside at the waterfront Marriott on Coronado Island. On Christmas. With a view of downtown. Can you even? I love living in San Diego.

Today was a harsh shove back into reality as I once again returned to work. But really it was fine. Still, I cannot wait till my long weekend.

Historic Holiday Fact #756
funny haha

One Christmas a long time ago Santa Claus had problems. Four of his elves were sick so Santa got behind schedule. Then Mrs Claus told Santa that her Mum was coming to visit; this stressed Santa even more. He went to see his reindeer and found that three of them were about to give birth. More stress. Then when he began to load the sleigh he dropped the toy bag and scattered the toys.

Santa went into the house for a shot of whisky but the elves had drunk him dry. Just then the doorbell rang and Santa cussed on his way to the door. There was a little angel with a big Christmas tree. “Merry Christmas Santa”, said the angel, “Isn’t it a lovely day? I have a beautiful tree for you. Where would you like me to stick it?”

Thus began the tradition of the angel on top of the Christmas tree.

I Love Camera Phones!
photo albumwhat's up?

This photo was taken by a close friend up in San Francisco. He took it with his phone and sent it to mine. It arrived in the middle of a stressful day. The timing was perfect. I immediately got a smile on my face and felt 10% less likely to strangle someone. The Embarcadero at Christmas. Great shot for a cell phone yo!

Sometimes I forget how much I miss San Francisco and the people I left behind… Thanks for sending this my way Patrick!
