A Swift Kick & A Band-Aid

Maybe I Should Just Be Happy I Feel Like Reading Again?

So ...

do you officially stop being an academic when you start using toilet paper as a bookmark ...?

Or did does that happen much earlier and I just missed it?

Do You Have Christmas Spirit?

Your Christmas Sprit Level: 70%

You have a lot of Christmas spirit, and it's evident to most people who know you. You love most things Christmas, and you do your best to make sure everyone has a great holiday. While you like the more commercial aspects of Christmas, you truly know what the spirit of Christmas is about. You're all about giving, being kind, and sharing the spirit of Christmas with everyone you know.

Jingle Bells, Batman Smells ...

Is anyone else as screwed as I am for Christmas?

I have literally one gift purchased ... ONE ...

No idea what to buy for most people ...

And of course, a late week all next week so getting to the post office will be out of the question even if I do manage to find gifts.

Where does that leave me? At the mercy of the internet and online retailers to ship my gifts in time ...

Awesome.

Stupid December flying by ...

Babe, I’ll walk the seven seas when i believe that there's a reason to write you a love song today

Thursday... I learned that God just might hate me ...

Wednesday evening I was out drinking with friends and enjoyed several tasty brewskis (cuz what else do you do during the first snow of the season besides brave the streets of DC for beer?)

I came home with a stomach ache.

Thursday morning I woke up with the same stomach ache and some abdominal cramping for good measure that clearly let me know the brewskis were not as friendly as I thought they were the night before.

What happened to a good old fashioned hangover?

Thursday night out (wine/liquor)- no stomach ache
Friday morning - no cramps
Friday night in (wine) - no stomach ache
Saturday morning - no cramps

What kind of God doesn't want me to have beer?!?!?!

... one that hates me ...

And I Am Loved ...

Thanks T1G ... Nothing like someone wishing you a happy holiday three weeks early (appropriately in anticipation that I might not blog during that time) to remind you that you have forgotten to include your far away friends in your every day life.

Well I definitely got some news on Friday that was worth sharing ...

It wasn't much but I'm not looking a gift horse in the mouth on this one!
