December thoughts

He got JUSTICE, 10 pounds in ONE WEEK? What the hell do they mean with "no snow? It CAN'T be Christmas", SLEEP.

"HE GOT JUSTICE"....Scott Peterson's verdict was returned...death....unless, as of this writing, the judge overturns this....normally judges don't..but we are talking California....strange things happen with the judicial system there...(er, well, yes, strange things happen with the judicial system everywhere, but let's not go there...now at least).

"10 POUNDS IN ONE WEEK???" GASP!! I won't even ATTEMPT to get on the scale. How DARE the vendor's at my work send "goodies" for the holiday's. Cheese and crackers, vodka chocolate cakes (oh yea, REALLY needed THAT)!, Five pounds of Chocolates. Cookies...and that was only ONE day...and of course you know what happens....all this food is put RIGHT OUTSIDE MY CUBICLE!! I won't even talk about what my department got the other days. Then let's not forget the luncheon at the Sunshine Factory, where I ate even though I could hardly move.

Let's just say, I'm sick of the food..guess I had to hit bottom to get back to low carbing..and I'm joining the gym come January!

"CHRISTMAS WITHOUT SNOW?" Ok...if I hear ONE MORE PERSON say "I just don't feel in the holiday spirit without snow", I am going to slam their heads in the freezer...just kidding. But what IS it with Minnesotan's and this snow crap??? Huh? Double Huh? Ok, I'm being hard on them when I am sure it is cultural thing. You see, I'm a native Californian. I grew up around the Hollywood area (and no Prof. Batty, Hollywood didn't call me, though I was on the page A-1 page of the Orange County Register). I grew up with Christmas, and the holiday season, the lights, the trees...and playing in the Ocean on Christmas eve or day, if I chose. My last Christmas back in CA, several years ago now, I felt the same wonder. Walking along the ocean, the houses all beautifully lit..ah, Christmas was THERE and look! No jacket, snowshoes, hats, gloves, scarves, wind chill, snow drift...instead there was mild, beautiful weather...I need to return for a visit.

"SLEEP"! I love to sleep. I live for my weekends when I can take my naps...this month has been terrible at depriving me of my naps. Things to do, places to go. And the shopping. PLEASE!! I HATE SHOPPING! I finally got out yesterday for the first time, EARLY, to miss crowds, and got everything done in two hours. Oh yea, I have to go back out today, but only to pick up three items.

Dear Santa:

PLEASE send me a new computer so I can blog without this clunker freezing up and I losing everything.

Oh, and lest I forget.......MERRY CHRISTMAS....HAPPY HOLIDAY'S....HAPPY 2005!
