it's a beautiful day.

i am back from the brink of death. should have got the damned flu shot that i rolled my eyes at, in alberstons last weekend. i realized that flu shots aren't just for the weak/people with too much time on their hands about 1am on sunday morning... and again at around 3am... and on and on and on. but in true Michelle Obama style... i am NOT complaining because my dvr is only 15% full now, my christmas tree skirt is seconds away from completion and my pants are wonderfully loose (ahem, looser...)

i can tell how sick i am by how many of my pets are sitting around me looking gravely concerned about who would bake their chicken broth bones and make their litter smell like french lavender if i should die. there are 3 out of 4 right now...

i spent the afternoon making a cape cod picket fence to surround Sam's christmas village out of popsicle sticks and wire. everytime i do something like this i am so so glad i am not in China making 70,000,000 units for walmart. twisting wire is not good for your hands... i am typing with what remains of my bloody stumpy fingers... excuse the squelching noise :)

will i ever EVER get used to having to dial 714 when calling a local number? nope.

must work on dumb stupid christmas card... i am seconds away from quitting and buying 99c cards at walmart. so if you get a 99c walmart christmas card just know that you're still on my A list ;)
