What is worse than being asked if you have a Valentine?

Being asked why you don't have one?

Due to the fact that it was snowing this morning when I woke up and that I'm not on the schedule for work until Wednesday, I decided to spend one more day in MI. I'm almost over this cold. I wont miss it.

Christmas Eve continued to be a day that I wish I could skip. My mom's side all assumed I was hungover and took turns smelling my cup of Coke to see if it had alcohol in it. And then I discovered that all cousins under the age of 16 had never seen the original Star Wars trilogy. My cousin and I then forced them to watch the marathon on Spike. It only got worse. They asked what the difference was between Star Wars and Star Trek. They hurt my soul.

We moved on to my dad's side. I even put makeup on for them only to be told I've looked better and hey? am I hungover? Dinner was interrupted when Cogene broke out into hives and ran from the house with her dad and brother in search of Benadryl. They finally returned an hour and a half later after they had returned home to ensure that no one had broken into their house because they had a feeling. The whole family went to church and they made us sit in the 3rd row which was practically the first row as no one sat in front of us.

But the rest of Christmas was wonderful and fabulous. I got over my Christmas funk just in time to enjoy the day, yay!!!

I just got yelled at by my mother for asking her questions about her Christmas List. This is going to be a very Merry Christmas.

On monday, I spent the day running around the 'burgh with Sniper. She had never been to the incline so we rode that. And then since we had both never rode the T, we did that. The day also included fudge, pitas, drunken shopping at Goodwill and glo-in-the-dark bracelets. Oh, and we ate dinner here. All in all, a very good day off.

I now have two people crossed off my shopping list for Christmas. But that is really only because we agreed not to buy each other presents but go out to a nice dinner instead. At this rate, I should be done with Christmas shopping around April which is when I think I finished last year.

I have to get a Pennsylvanian drivers license because apparently I am committing a misdemeanor by still having my Michigan one. Whoops! I should really get on that. I swear I will go do it on Tuesday. BART printed me off the forms. I've collected all the necessary proof of residency so all that is left is motivation. That and the perfect outfit for my new picture.

I am so behind on my Christmas shopping. I have exactly one gift bought. I have about 2 picked out but beyond that I am screwed. I don't know what it is but I'm just not into Christmas this year. I'm enjoying Christmas lights and Christmas cookies and that is about it. I never understood how people could take tropical vacations this time of the year. But I totally get it now.

So the G20 has ended. Peaceful protests were blown up into destructive riots. People were arrested. Money was lost. Obama turned the focus to Iran. And the most action I saw were an ambulance and fire truck outside of an apartment building that houses old people. I'm disappointed. I wanted so much more.

October is almost upon us and there are some Halloween parties so I will be needing a costume. I don't understand why all the girl costumes follow the same pattern of an adjective such as sassy or sexy or saucy, and then some occupation, such as nurse or police officer or even gardener. While the guys' costumes are gorilla or darth vader. None of their costumes ever come with sexy or sassy. Its not fair or equal. I don't like it.

I had my one day off this week yesterday. And it was nice. I didn't really do anything but go grocery shopping for a few essentials.

I think I am coming home for Thanksgiving this year. My mom has recently followed through on her decades long promise to re-do the basement leading her to decide that we need to host Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving for her family which at minimum will be 20 and at maximum like 35. And with that many people no one will notice a few extra people so I am inviting you all. She also decided I get to cook the turkey. I think it is going to have to be a large turkey.

Hi.

I am at Christmas at Toi's apartment. It involves liquor, alcohol and chicken, Mr Fitzgibbons. I was a bit worried that Mr. Fitzgibbons was killed on command when we requested a chicken but apparently he was killed months ago and was frozen. Now we are sharing parts of Pomme's gift and it is delightful. Toi took my phone. She wont give it back to me. I am sad because of this. I would like my phone back. We are currently calling MMM. I predict she will not pick up the phone. SHE NEVER PICKS UP THE PHONE EVER. She probably misses all of us way way too much.

HI BART. Good job on your 8 bottles of Champagne and your tattoo. Its uber cool. SO awesome.
