Note to self: remember not to drink when planning to take Nyquil at the end of the night. Woke up late and still have a bit of a hangover.

It's hard getting used to Pennsylvania's archaic liquor laws again after being able to buy booze from gas stations and grocery stores in Ohio. (The gas stations usually only have wimpy stuff though). I did head to a state store with Mom last night since there was a sale and I was beginning to run low on the stockpile in my fridge. It's funny--you can buy beer and malt liquor from beer warehouses and the drive-thru beer stores, but harder stuff comes from state stores.

They are trying to change the law so that gas stations can sell booze. A few and some random grocery stores already have licenses.

I'm already crazy skinny from two months of food not really making it into my stomach. Everything went down fine, now I just need to recover and follow the diet plan and all that.

Hey man...you lived.
I went through some stomach problems earlier this year...what they allow you to 'eat' in my case really sucked !
Here's hoping you get through it without too much suffering Avie.

Two Pyrat Hurricanes at Ruby Tuesday and I am feeling pretty fine.

Big batch of gingerbread cookies in the kitchen and all the shopping (grocery and gift) is done. Half day at work tomorrow, and with the kidling going out to see his mom for Christmas, I'll get to wander around my house in my underwear if I want.

Alright, back to enjoying my buzz...


He followed me home, can I keep him?

No longer do I need to endure my computer crashing every 30 minutes because I opened more than one tab of firefox.

I am gonna get so fat over the holidays. I already put on some weight this weekend after having holiday dinner with the boyfriend's family, and I ate a lot tonight thanks to a weird schedule. Getting the weight off will not be fun. One pair of pants is already snug.

Staying at home tomorrow night. I've been on my own again for a couple months now and it's gonna feel weird, I know.

You weren't to far away from Robotrippin if that's the case.

I've been sitting here researching the ingredients for my meds to see if I could take Mucinex along with them, and I'm really depressed to find that most everything I've been taking could induce one hell of a buzz if taken in large enough quantities. Wouldn't that be interesting to show up to Grandma's house on Christmas day tripping out my mind? Have a complete psychotic breakdown over the little dancing santa dolls she keeps throughout the house?

Hmm...I read that and it seems robotrippin gives you all sorts of psychedelic effects, but I just got really tired. That wasn't fun.

Cleaned my apartment except for the floors, which are a pain and I need to get cleaner for anyways. Gonna leave in an hour or so and will be back here sometime tomorrow. Hopefully it doesn't get icy or anything or my boyfriend might not be able to show up. It'll rain/ice tomorrow, but there's already enough snow on the ground to make it a white Christmas. It's bright and sunny out now.

We got the dog a new beef bone and he has been chewing it passionately for over an hour. He finally gave up and flopped over in exhaustion. I guess it must just be that good?

Everybody here would have been proud of me today at work.

I was got to work this morning with my voice to about 50% strength, able to talk clearly but still with a bit of gravel in my voice. About an hour it went back to being just being above a whisper or a deep gravelly noise. About two hours ago my voice started coming back, and this guy I work with told me I sounded like Batman... and then he tried to imitate Scott Bale's Batman voice going "Where's Harvey Dent?!"

So I put a bit of bass in my voice and forced out a "WHERE'S HARVEY DENT?!" in response, nailing the voice dead on.

The force of doing that impression cleared my throat enough and brought my voice back to where it was this morning when I came into work, which is nice... but now I can't do that impression again because my voice usually sits in the baritone range, not bass. :-(

It never fails...
I cook the food, and I don't feel hungry afterwards.

I made bow tie pasta with a browned butter sauce...
Green bean casserole (very American this time...)
and the fillet mignon is done in a few minutes.

But I don't feel hungry.
I mean, I had a garlic shake this morning after I ran. (Protein powder, blueberries, strawberries, spinach, soft cactus pads, and 3 cloves of garlic... I swear, it's not all that bad.)

But that was 6:30 in the morning.

Humm....
I'm watching a Jesus movie in Spanish... it's my favorite one. Very historically inaccurate (the virgin mary makes tortillas in this one.)

But it was special because I thought Jesus was Mexican... and that still makes me laugh.

Marry Christmas, everyone.

I'm feeling really good so far with it, the surgeon is a miracle man.

I don't plan to cheat because if I do it would probably actually mess things up pretty bad in there and then I might wind up in a much more painful and difficult situation since part of why everybody was so happy with this surgery is nothing was done to my esophagus prior, no botox, no balloon. Clean slate to work from. So yeah, I definitely plan on following orders and being very cautious.

I've had the same problem!!!!!!!

I've been cooking/baking all week, and for like the last 3 days, I've had no appetite at all.

Anyway, I'm happy to see the sick people back, <3 you all, and Merry Christmas.

Oh yes,
Merry Christmas for all the sick ones out there.
Umm.... yeah... our supper wasn't all that great... *cough*

We've already opened the presents... Latin tradition to open the gifts on the eve of the night instead of the early morning.

I actually had good presents this year.
Inglorious Bastards
King of the Hill seasons 2 and 6
280 dollars (wow-- that's a lot)
books (Where the Sidewalk Ends)
and my membership to the SF Playwright's guild.

This was a very costly christmas for my family... so I'm paying their credit cards with the 280 as my final final gift.

I've decicded that despite my being sick with only about half of my voice, I'm going to my grandmother's christmas party. I'm just going to load up on meds and make it a point not to breathe on anybody. I just can't stand the thought of staying here by myself today. :-\

And Seven? I did get your card. Bacon and fun times were had by all.

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYBODY!!!

I found out yesterday there's a movement in my family to give me gift cards & some dinners out at a couple of our 'nicer' resturants.
I've been so bummed out by the commercialism of Christmas for so long & have made a stand against presents being given to me for more than 3 years & every year, they try something...just a little something "it's not much" & then I have to go into my speil of thanks but no thanks....

I'm so pissed off .
WHAT PART OF ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS IS COMPANY & NO PRESENTS.... can they not grasp ?
So fuck it...I'm boycotting the family today.
They can have their Christmas , I've sent all the food we've prepared so their meal will not be compromised.
They can give each other all the presents in the world...me I'm going for a walk, phones turned off & I think I'll try some fresh haddock for my dinner later this afternoon.

Hope you all have a merry christmas, next year I'm going to try to be on a Caribbean beach. This way I don't stress them & they can't stress me !

Merry Christmas everyone!

I gave my parents a 4BG Kingston pen drive. My dad almost cried.
And ate sooooo much. My Grandma prepared Christmas lunch and Christmas Eve dinner.
Ouch.

I stuffed butter mixed with spices under the skin of my turkey.

Then during the last hour of cooking, I layed bacon over the breast.

If my turkey doesn't come out mind blastingly awesome, I blame evil gnomes.

Traipsed through the snowy woods with Husker and my sister's puppy. She was delighted. Now I'm drinking mulled cider by the fire and smelling the smells of baking pie and Christmas ham.

Merry Christmas everybody!

Merry Christmas all! To health and happiness in the upcoming New Year.

Hope everyone has a good time with family (and everyone invariably drives each other completely crazy ;) ), friends, or wherever you're at.

In our family the tradition is to start the morinng with mimosas (champagne and OJ), which should give you an idea of how Christmas is. Big family, starting the morning with booze....

Wouldn't have it any other way.

Why the hell did my parents buy me a Snuggie? Don't get me wrong, I got a lot of other nice gifts, like Spirit Tracks and the spa package, but WTF?

I did get some wine glasses and will break them in tonight. Tomorrow my boyfriend will visit for the weekend.

Merry Christmas all!

We visited my wife's step-sister in Boston and saw our 18-month-old nephew and that whole side of the family. Probably won't make it back home to do anything with my family this year. With work and a winter class starting next week, I won't have a month of free time to do stuff with them like I did last year. I got $100 in old navy gift cards a fleece and a Dell netbook. The nephew got an inflatable ball-pen thing. I am mega jealous of the little squirt now.

I can sympathize with that. Several years back I asked my folks not to get me anymore cologne as a gift because generally I don't wear cologne unless it's a special occasion, so it winds up just collecting dust. I actually gave away a box of very nice colognes to charity earlier this year. I just don't use them.

I unwrap a box this morning, and what do I find but a two bottle set of Stetson cologne and aftershave. :-|
