Cold.

It is so cold outside, and inside, and everyone. I feel as though my internal temperature has gone down a couple degrees. I have my scarf wrapped around my head and I am INSIDE. My space heater is on, and I have a sweater draped across my lap. I am at work. You'd think, a workspace should be acceptable to be able to WORK IN.

It's only supposed to get colder, too. Global warming - where is the warm?

Score!

Stopped at a Salvation Army on the way home today and found this dress that I totally fell in love with, despite having no apparent reason to wear it. But oh my heck, it was only FIVE DOLLARS. I'm sorry, but I am too much of a bargain hunter to give up such a deal. Plus, I look smokin' in it.

Proof:

And also, I was feeling a bit photo-y, so I took this one as well:

I didn't notice that luchador in my closet until after I had already taken the picture. Oh, well. I am now realizing how long my hair has gotten, too. Bonus!

New year.

I'm not going to make any resolutions, by the way.

I'm just going to continue my search for things that make me feel good about who I am and what I do with the time I have. I think that will be enough.

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.
