Hee!

In an octopus' garden.

I just need to record this monumental occasion:

I have officially won my first game of Monopoly. EVER. Not just Monopoly, either. Beatles Monopoly. I was the octopus!

Vomit.

Went out for a nice dinner last night, and promptly came home to throw it all up. Isn't it the worst when you hurk food that you really enjoyed eating? It's like you watch it going "Nooo! Come back!", and it tastes awful on the way back up, so it ruins the memory of your enjoyment just a short time before.

Or that could just be me.

Happy Christmas!

All in all, it went well this year. We stayed home and my family came over for christmas eve, where we did all of exchanging. It was a bit of a hard christmas for the whole family, since no one is in the best financial spot. Thankfully, we can all manage to have a good time together and make the most of everything that we do have.

Christmas morning was nice, just leisurely opening the remaining presents. I got some pretty bitchin' shit, if I do say so myself (Can you say heart rate monitor? oh my goodness and gracious) and it was great just to spend the day hanging around with no responsibilities. Today of course I have to clean up and get ready to find a way back to the real world by Monday....but even that can be put on hold for a little bit.

Cold.

I have a headcold and all I would like to do right now is sleep. Thanks to all the snow, I haven't been to the gym in about a week, and I'm actually kind of antsy to get back. Of course, I will have to go clean off my car in order to even get home.

Dear snow,

Please stop ruining my life.

Love,

Tina

Oh my snow.

For anyone who lives in the northeastern US, how fun was last night? End count, Portland got 13" of snow. Holy whoa. I worked yesterday, but ended up deciding it was best if I leave early and go to the grocery store to grab some food for dinner. The roads were drivable (I have been doing this for almost ten years now), but I still went about 20 -30 mph the whole way, including when I was on the interstate. I wouldn't mind as much if I could just go play in it, but I still have three days of work and it makes it harder to get there with all of this crap. I'm currently waiting for Jason to come pick me up on his way in, because I'm a sweet talker like that and he had already cleaned off his car when I had called him. Lazy? Or smart like a fox? You decide.

Rush.

With Christmas just a week away, I feel like most people around here at work are either rushing to get everything done or they are procrastinating in ways never heard of before. I'm both at this point. But I also don't have all the vacation time that they do, so I''m not as worried because next week and the week after I'm going to be all by myself and I be as leisurely productive as I'd like.

The guy from Maine won Survivor! That makes me happy for several reasons: 1, He's a mainer. 1, He is the sweetest nicest most productive member of society ever and 3, I saw my Hannah on TV talking about him because he teaches at Gorham HS! What more can I possibly ask for?

I need a new car. Or to actually put a LOT of money into the one I have for repairs. If I had better credit, I would look into getting something newer...but it is not in the cards right now. Save save save.

Christmas cards got sent out. They are 'awesome' this year. The people who have gotten them already are happy with what I did, so that is good enough for me.

Why is there so much chocolate around Christmas?
