Gosh, random. The most over-used word in the “blogosphere”.
Ducky’s most over-used phrase right now: “NO THANK YOU” She shrieks it over and over. That and “I stuckin” She pretends to get her hand or foot stuck in something, and then yells for our help.
Also, we are one infected household. The Highlander is getting over a nasty sinus/ear infection, and I feel like my lungs are full of cement. Good times.
I sent The Highlander flowers yesterday. I just wanted him to smile. He was stuck home with “the child” all week because I couldn’t get off, and her day care was closed. He’s always so touched when I send him flowers. I guess guys don’t get them much.
But, since he watched The Wonderpets save the Reindeer 60 times in the last four days, I’d say he deserves a dozen roses.
And check out this arrangement I found on 1-800-Flowers:
They have other cool arrangements like a Margarita bouquet. I am unfortunately a “flower snob” and would NEVER send someone an arrangement was ALL CARNATIONS and cost $60. Though if someone sent it to me, I’d probably be delighted. 
Today would have been my Grandmother’s 77th birthday. This would have been our special year. I was born in 1977 and she turned 77, she was born in 1929, I turned 29. (I’m a math geek, shutup). She died in 2002, and we weren’t all that close, but I sometimes miss her all the same.
Also, does anyone out there celebrate Kwanza? Or even know anyone who knows anyone who celebrates it? I’m curious.
That is all my friends. I will try to post tommorrow, but if I don’t Happy New Year. May 2007 be your (and our) year!

No one cares what you had for lunch.
Yes it’s true. HOWEVER. I’meating the most delicious lunch known to lunch-dom. Chicken picatta from the pizzeria, with a dinner salad and a side of pasta. My god, the salad dressing! So tangy! and the little bread they send.
Heaven, I tell you.
PS. Happy New Year!

“They” also say I should wash my child’s clothes before she wears them the first time. I bet “they” also have washers and dryers.
Well fuck they them.

It’s a mixed blessing. Every blog I have ever had the slightest interest in is now subscribed. And it sure does save time. So much in fact that I’m spending less time online if you can believe it. It’s so efficient. I don’t need to click through everything in order to check for updates. I think I miss it. 
The other thing that’s happened since I started using a feed reader like everyone and their mother, is I’ve realized that I need to post more. I get WAY too excited when I see that Debbie or Sam has a new post.
Happy Chanukah, everyone, and Merry Christmas (because I probably won’t be posting again before then).

I wasted spent eight hours making this for my co-worker. She showed her appreciation by calling me fat and treating me like a retarded chimp later that day.
No good deed goes unpunished.

Your friends and family that you’re pretty sure will respond:
Nobody. Because I’m not tagging anybody. The category says “Where memes go to die” And besides, I’m a narcissist.

Ok, I have a confession to make. I am really kicking myself for not even trying to participate in NaBloPoMo, or as Mrs. Kennedy called it, BloMe. Basically, if you didn’t know, a bunch folks posted every single day for the month of November. Who was I kidding? You would have gotten 30 days of this:
You Are a Margarita
|
You aren’t just the life of the party, you are the party!You mix a good drink, bust out some great music, and know how to get down.
|
What Mixed Drink Are You?
That’s right. I’m a margarita. Aren’t you glad I wasn’t distracted by shiny prizes? You could have read shit like this ALL last month.
You’re welcome.

We got ALL and I do mean all of out Christmas Shopping done on Saturday. And we never left the house. How, you ask? Why the internets, of course. We were able to pull a Britney [NSFW] and shop sans undies!! Just kidding. We were wearing ONLY undies. You know how we roll at Casa Type (little) a!!
And just to lift our spirits a bit (don’t ask) we’re going for a quick getaway to. A.C on December 16th!! Whoo-Hoo. It’ll probably also be our anniversary celebration, since I went and got married during tax season.
