Christmas is over. I am still on the planet. Yay! :p The holiday was a test of my integrity, trust me
The kids had a great time..Santa came for Christmas Dinner! ( pics to follow ).
I got an Ipod touch, a panini maker, cash, and a big, fat gift card to Starbucks...I'm a happy girl!
Hope Santa was good to you too!

You can do the math
- 1 dysfunctional family
- 1 funeral with former family ( as in removed by divorce )
- 1 case of half the family not speaking
- 1 Christmas coming up
- 1 brother who thinks he has to be the family UN appointee
- 1 SIL who thinks she can win you to her side by relating familial horror stories
- 1 full moon
add'em all together and what do you get?
don't ask, for the love of all things Holy, do not ask.

Hurry up and wait
So, today was another appointment with the Hsb.'s neurosurgeon; another 3 month wait, another MRI, and another visit. Hsb. walked out happy as a lark...I am on the fence. While I am aware that NO one wants brain surgery, I also don't want the Hsb. to become complacent. We shall see....
In other news, I am doing something that benifits all man kind: I am getting my hair done. I tried to wait it out, but it is making me nuts, and I am under it...I can't imagine how it makes other people feel. :z

Do you see what I see?
No matter how long I've been married, I never get tired of messing with my hsb. .. kinda like those stupid Messin' with Sasquatch commercials; there really isn't any point, it just makes me laugh.
Soo, the other night, the hsb. takes me out at out to our favorite restaurant for Mexican food..and more importantly, margaritas! We have our best, most enlightening chats, while out to dinner. This night we were discussing a guy with whom my hsb. works, and his choice in dating material.
Hsb.: she is sorta, kinda, ugly. Not elephant man ugly,...just blase' ugly.
Me: WTF? how can someone be blase' ugly? Give me your margarita, you're done.
Hsb. Look it up.
Me: pfft. She has no redeeming qualities? No hidden talents? *Nudge, nudge, wink, wink.*
She must have something going for her for D. to go out with her for this long.
Hsb. Ugh, gross
Me: HAHAHAA omg, you big baby. Alright, exactly what was it that attracted you to me?
Hsb.: You have beautiful eyes. Your intelligence. The list goes on and on.
Me: Cut the crap.
Hsb.: YOUR BOOBS!
Me: Bingo.
A few margaritas and the truth will out. :p

All that's missing is 'U'
*(caution, major familial rant)*
/rant/
I have decided to delete this post ( though I saved a copy...don't ask ). I deleted it because I have vented and reviewed; what is going on today is more important to me than this crap. IF it should happen again, I will not only reprint my rant, I will send a copy to my mom. Til then.....

Some other things I am thankful for:

My family..even the ones who make me nuts.
For being young enough to have fun with my grandkids
Having had my own grandparents til I was 40 yrs. old
my friends
my furry companions
Second chances
the MFZ
Starbucks Caffe' Mocha
my Tassimo
Having a friend wonderful enough to send me a Tassimo
Lounge pants
New Balance
Digital cameras
Ipods
Unlimited text messaging, free long distance, nights and weekends
Gain detergent, original scent
the 80's ..may I just say they were AWESOME!
Books
Music
Ambien and the all night sleep it can bring
Kung Pao Chicken
Gil Grissom, Gregory House, Dean Winchester,Jacob Hood, Bobby Goren...they make weeknight TV worth watching

I have the Vet on speed dial
I decided I needed to ask the vet about the cat thing; while I waited to speak to the Dr., the tech and I chatted. I think it went well.
ME: I think I need a hobby; know of any I might be interested in?
HER: ummm, no..I know you are married.
ME: Pfft, yeah but my HSB. lets me do about anything I want; just don't suggest bowling unless it is on the Wii.
HER: Wait, what is it you said you needed?
ME: A hobby.
HER: OMG, I thought you said you needed a hottie.
I have to admit, I like the way she thinks :)

It's today, again.
I must have been a hamster, or maybe that Dunkin' Donut guy; everyday it is the same thing. Only I feel like I am on a hamster wheel while making the donuts. Everyday is Ground Hog's day. Worst thing is: I did it all to myself and cannot blame anyone else, dammit.
And there you have it...my first official blog bitch. lol
I prefer the term VENTING, btw. No matter how much I vent, I am actually happy most of the time. Worn out, but happy---ish. hahaaaa
On this today, I have started 5 projects, not counting this blog, only to be interrupted by some needy, 4 legged member of my household. I used to think I would like to have myself cloned, just to keep up with the work. Then I saw 'Multiplicity" and knew all my clones would be the 'copy of a copy'; well meaning but useless..not unlike the original most days.
Back to my day...
my little dog is old and senile; she spends her time barking at the cat to get out of her bed..thing is, the cat is in her own bed. Every time I put the dog back into her own bed, she hops out and goes right back to bossing the cat around. This happens about 200 times a day. My cats seem to be passing around some stomach virus...I didn't know (until today) that cats can audibly fart. Who knew?
Ahhh, the good life. :)
