It Only Hurts When I Blog

Greetings, Double-Troublers! It's Twofer-Tuesday! Do something twice today (your choice).

I have picked up a few gifts this past week, and I'm ready for my 'early Christmas' trip to New England to see the family and exchange gifts. That is a relief, because I leave this Friday!

I am still less-than-motivated about all the other Christmas preparations. I need to listen to my Christmas tapes and get in the Christmas frame of mind!

It's the first week in December, I haven't done my Christmas cards, I have shopping and decorating left to do, and haven't bought and put up a tree yet. I have lots of Christmas 'stuff' put away that needs to be taken out. Oops.

Aw so what - if I'm ready by December 25th, that will work, right?

And of course, when I start looking around the house for the Christmas stuff I find Halloween and Thanksgiving/Harvest items that I could have taken out and used if I had remembered where they were! Oops.

Seventeen degrees again this morning - bloody well cold.

I saw a car decorated like Rudolph yesterday in the parking lot at work.

It had a big red plush nose on the front grill, and two plush, rather Bullwinkle-style antlers on each side. Way cute. I wonder who owns it - I'd like to see WHO has the motivation to drive around that way.

One more quick work story, and I'll close for today...

Someone I work with stopped by my cubicle yesterday, eating his lunch. His lunch was the giant sized Symphony chocolate bar - you know, the ones that are 5x7 or bigger.

I teased him about eating candy for his lunch, and then offered him a choice from my leftover-Halloween-candy bucket. He waved his chocolate bar at me like 'Well, I'm already eating chocolate'.

I said 'But what will you have for dessert'? This is for dessert! That was a horse of a different color I guess, as he took a Baby Ruth back with him for his dessert!

TTFN!
