Stay-cation

The Christmas season has passed, it was fun...we went to Pittsfield and I got food poisoning (I did Biddy!) and spent Christmas early AM throwing up every hour for like 5 hours and then felt like crap for 24 hours, I went to bed at 5:30 on Christmas night, Mike was psyched. Then I have been off for 5 days straight, yea really liking it. For my stay-cation I have done errands, went to the movies and then today I went to the Children's Museum with Mike's sister and the the twins and Wyatt, who is 2. I think there was about 10,000 kids there without parents, I think the parents just dropped kids off and figured no one would notice. It was fun and of course my niece and nephews were the most well behaved children there, duh. So since its my last day of stay-cation I have deceided to drink a bud light a 3 in the afternoon and watch reality TV like Tori & Dean and 16 and Pregnant, you know what...cause I can!

12 Days of Christmas

Well technically its the 20th of December so we are down to 5 days of Christmas, unless the song references days AFTER Christmas. I don't know, Wikipedia really isn't clear about that. However it is clear about the verses of the song and since it was supposedly written in the 1780s, me thinks times were different then because:
On the twelfth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me...


12 Drummers Drumming-ummm what the hell am I going to do with them, except for maybe pelt them with Hershey kisses, no wait...I want to eat those

11 Pipers Piping-seriously? I would tell them to all go pipe themselves right out the window

10 Lords-a-Leaping-this might be cool, because I am thinking that all the "lords" will be fab gays who can go shopping with me and judge people in the mall for fun.

9 Ladies Dancing-like the Celtics dancers? Because I would probbies just tell them to eat a sammich and go dance for dollars at the Foxy Lady

8 Maids-a-Milking-well I like milk, but the maids would have to milk cows (I'm guessing? maybe goats?) and we live in a 900 sq foot condo, not a lot of places to put a cow or 8

7 Swans-a-Swimming-umm, I think swans are mean, aren't they? I could probably put 1 or 2 in the tub and maybe one in the kitchen sink but then the garbage disposal might turn on and then one of the swans would be maimed and no one wants a gimpy swan

6 Geese-a-Laying-what the f*** am I going to do with a whole bunch of goose eggs? can you even eat those?

5 Gold Rings-dude I will just take 1 thanks

4 Colly Birds-or Calling birds, either way I am not into that, there is a mocking bird that I declare war on every spring, it wakes me up every morning at like 4am. I only have to deal with it for about a month between when we start opening the windows at night and when we put in the AC

3 French Hens-so....there seems to be a whole lotta poultry to be giving someone

2 Turtle Doves-are these like turtles crossed with doves? Like a hybrid turtle/dove thing...that would be cool, like can they fly AND swim?

And a Partridge in a Pear Tree-I like pears...but I tend to kill plants

DONE!

So I am DONE with grad school for the semester, I have a whole 3 weeks off. SCORE! I have a stack of magazines and books that I want to read so I have 3 weeks to do that. But I am happy to just be able to go to work and go to yoga and that's it and not have to worry that I have to write a paper or 3 when I really just want to sit on the couch. I celebrated the end of my semester by watching several episodes of Dexter and going to bed early. Not that much different from when I was an undergrad actually...well Dexter wasn't around then so maybe a little different.
But I must discuss this recent interaction I had. So I have always taken care of my skin, especially on my face, I moisturize all the time, I get facials and I wear sunscreen all the time and I never go out into the sun if I can help it. So this chick was wearing Tory Burch flats which I am pretty sure run about $200-$250 a pair which by the way is stupid. They are exactly the same as the $20 flats I got at Target but they have the metal Tory Burch symbol on them...stupid. So anywho, got a close up of this chick's pores, nothin good happenin there, nothin good. Pores were FULL, or as Mike's Mom would say, All Full Up. EW! For the price of those shoes this cracker jack could get like 4 facials...ew, she needs to take care of that NOW.
