Good day but long.....

Yeah, the optimal word is LONG. I got to work about an hour early, do to not being their on Friday, and by the time I left, having also worked through my lunch, I was finally caught up from Friday and today. I do have a stack of work to go into tomorrow...but that was from my supervisor. And tomorrow is our Company Christmas Party...woo-fuckin'-hoo. I have already expressed my desire not to go to the event, but to stay and work at my desk and have already been told that it is not an option. Sooo, I will probably go and then sneak back upstairs to my desk. After having my ass chewed for three weeks by the Pit Boss, I have no real desire to be festive with her.

Then, I came home to work on wreaths. Every year at this time, my father and I make about two dozen wreaths to put on the graves of our family and friends that have passed on. Not a particularly enjoyable event, but I love to spend time with my daddy and I am the only one that will do this with him. I even had to deny myself the honor of going to dinner with Dylan and his family. Oh well, any time I spend with my Daddy is good time. We finally finished that up at about 7:30...because I ran out of hot glue sticks....and then I decided that it was time to tackle MY ROOM. As big of a neatnik as I am, my rooms has been a disaster for about 2 months now. I finally got all of my clothes put away, shoes put away (shut up Toni) and everything straightened up. I would hate it if Santa came and saw how bad it was!!!

Oh, and can I just express my dislike at hairballs? I have two cats that have been non-stop puking up hairballs today!! I am purchasing stock in the Resolve Carpet Cleaning company just because of today! I have almost used a half of a bottle just on those two damn cats!! Yes, they both have received an ample quantity of hairball medication as well. If for no other reason, than it made me happy to push yucky crap down their throats!!!

And guess what? It is snowing again! It started to melt away yesterday and today, but we have a little front coming through tonight, so it should put down about an inch or two...just enough to make everything pretty and white all over again.

Oh, it is only Monday and I am dreading the remainder of the week. Tomorrow...dinner with Dylan and his family. Wednesday...coming home to wrap. Thursday....coming home to wrap. Friday...I am off work and going shopping and then to Lord of the Rings. Saturday....shopping and wrapping. Sunday....getting together( I hope ) with everybody. Monday....who the hell knows. Tuesday....Christmas, finally. As much Christmas spirit as I have finally achieved, I will be happy when it is over. This year has just seemed too hard. I haven't had a chance to really enjoy the holidays....Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. However....I am going to Vegas with my loved ones in February/March, so that will give me a lot to look forward to.

Did I mention that it is snowing again??????
