MERRY CHRISTMAS!
OK, I SAID IT.... ENOUGH ALREADY.
I'm really not in the spirit of the holiday this year, dunno why but it just ain't happening. But I'll manage to smile and get through it somehow. OK maybe I won't be smiling...... ANYWAY.................... The tree is up and the house is decorated and the stocking are gonna be hung by the chimney with care sometime today. Then it's put away the 157 boxes that were taken out of the attic containing said decorations. Then clean up the mess from cleaning up the mess. Then it is company and dinners and more company and the unexpected guest bearing gifts and the kid who spills a five gallon cup of red koolaid on the white carpet but neglects to mention the fact to any adult on the premises. We just decided last night that it would be a good idea to buy some presents for the kids before next weekend gets here. Nothing like waiting until the last moment to go to the stores. My oldest son (8th grade) went to his first formal (sorta) dance last night. Turns out that he was the only boy that showed up in a suit. He had bought his GirlFriend a carnation wrist corsage and she had gotten him a rose buttoneer. They were the only ones that had flowers on. My son said that every time they went to dance everyone in the place that had a camera came running to take pictures of them because they looked "so cute". They had a great time. She had 3 or 4 of her girlfriends meet at her house and we took him over there so we could get pictures of them too. So he got to make a grand entrance with 4 lovely ladies surrounding him. As usual. He is THE chick magnet of the school. He pretty much has choice of which girl he wants and it's hard to choose when there are ten of them all giggling "pick me"..... poor kid. The one that is his GirlFriend has been all school year. She hasn't ever had a boyfriend and wasn't sure if she wanted one.... playing hard to get works every time! She's a DOLL! and a very nice girl too from a nice family so that is a plus! Saturday, December 04, 2004
Yep that's right it is time for Winter-een-mas again!
WINTER-EEN-MAS Tonight is my wifes work Christmas party.... woo.....hooo. First let me state that I dislike parties, especially Christmas parties, extra especially work Christmas parties, and double extra especially her work Christmas parties. There are people at my workplace that I see every day, they might have been there for the last 3 to 4 years and I have no clue as to what thier names are...... so I REALLY don't need to talk to people that she works with! I'm sure they are all real nice and all but meh. In the past it has been held in a local pizza parlor that has VERY good pizza so at least there was a little something to look forward to about being dragged kicking and screaming to a place to spend time ( that I do not have ) with people that I barely know. This years is different though, new managment, new place for the Christmas party! ****clasps hands together nearly swooning**** OH BOY !!!!! The new place is..... drum roll please..... I don't drink. She doesn't drink either. Not only is it a bar but it is a really trendy YUPPIE bar. I'm 45, I'm well past the yuppie stage, I'm also well past my tolerance level for loud mouthed dip shits that are gonna change the world with their limitless expanse of blind hopefulness. Don't get me wrong, I'm not some prude that is morally opposed to strong drink. I will have a drink on occasion, albeit rarely. I used to drink, used to keep at least 1 bottle each of Jack Daniels black label , Bacardi 151 rum, Wild Turkey, and usually some sort of Schnapps in the refrigerator. I used to be an unpaid roadie for my buddies band, a bar band. EVERY weekend was spent sitting in a bar, sometimes I would have a drink, most times I would not. Just $5.00 Cokes with a water back. Actually they played in VFW halls mostly. "You don't hafta go HOME, but you can't stay HERE!" Maybe my tolerance for alcohol is too high and that is why hanging out with a bunch of drunks irritates me. I would play mind games with them whenever I got the chance, little things like asking them a simple question made up of completely recognizable words. Like, " Will sheet foam rubber wick?" See, your brain stuttered for a second or two trying to make sense of it. Didn't it? Yeah it did, go ahead and admit it. Go ahead, try it out next time you stumble upon an intoxicated person and watch the look on their faceas they attempt to comprehend the words that came out of your mouth..... then they will ask you to repeat yourself, and they will concentrate harder as you speak and they will still have no idea as to what you just said.... this can go on for as long as you like. Sometimes it is fun to move u to someone quickly like something is amiss and say it with a great urgency in your voice..... kinda like you are letting them know that the hem of their pants leg has seemed to become engulfed in flames by some odd sequence of events. I made a girl cry once this way because she just knew something terrible was happening around her but suddenly I was speaking some alien language. But I digress. Bah and Humbug! BTW, it is MERRY CHRISTMAS not merry xmas or even happy holidays. It is Christmas. Politically correct can bite my shiny metal ass. |
