Merry Xmess Eve! December 24, 2007

I just got back from an emergency trip to the grocery store (emergency = not enough coffee for tomorrow morning), and dude, it was INSANE!! Also, I got some bonus groceries . . . I got home and unpacked the bags and found a jar of mayonnaise and some scallions that I know I didn’t buy — they must have been left on the conveyor by the people in front of me in line. I feel bad for them (whoever they are), because they are going to get home and be minus their mayo, and will have to back into the pit of chaos to buy more.

Also, we don’t use mayo ’round here . . . I think I’ll take it with me to my mom’s house (for which we are leaving shortly).

And here’s a holiday question for everyone: what is it about going “home” for Xmess that makes some of us revert into sulky, immature teenagers? I mean, I love my family, but I SO am dreading doing the whole holiday thing with them, because it makes me feel like I’m 15 again. I think wine will help.

I absolutely love it when . . . December 19, 2007

I wake up thinking it’s almost time for the alarm to go off, and when I look at the clock, it’s only 1am.

And when I open my lunch (that I packed myself in the early morning) and find cookies that I forgot were in there!

is what is in my knitting bag right now.

Apologies for the blurry; pic was taken with my new phone (more on that later, maybe).

Okay! Hopefully this entry will get the blog thing going again!
