memo to myself..

Do the dumb things I gotta do. Touch the puppet-head.

A gentle reminder, Do-do. Do not set the stove on 'medium,' put the eggs on, then walk off. It may seem like a good idea at the time, but don't do it.

I wonder how the 'gifts' thing I posted chooses the attributes of the gifts(friends). The maker says it's not random, but how did it choose Israeli Matushans? Sapphire Licking_suntans (she is also known as 'girl in bleu,' elsewhere)? Eors a-tickling is quite appropriate.:) Daegaer's a-crunching probably is, too, with all the Pringles she apparently ate the other day.:) But has Afrai ever talked about skating? And I know on Daegaer's I was a-clucking, and on Afrai's I was a-ranting... oh, wait, maybe ranting is appropriate to me. Anyway.

I went out and shoveled snow this morning, even though it's warm today and supposed to rain. It was just so thick at the bottom end of the driveway, I couldn't see that getting much improved by being waterlogged and then possibly freezing, I figured I should move some of it. More had fallen in the middle of the driveway, off the roof, and I began to shovel there, then decided I should first clear the opening so I could get the car out. After doing that I went back to the middle of the drive and found more had fallen off the roof, so decided I'd leave that for tomorrow.

I always bitch and moan about shovelling afterward and before, but I'm always cheerful when I'm actually doing it. I think I like 'honest' work.;)

Of course in one way I was rather silly - I went out having only had a cornchip and a chocolate-covered coffee bean. When I came back in I was so hungry and tired I didn't want to cook breakfast, so I had an apple. After I ate that and recovered a bit I was freakin ravenous, and ate three eggs... and I still want tea and toast with jelly. Hm...

Why does my cat always want to get on my lap when I'm either eating or just about to get up?

eep!

I can't believe I made such an oversight - I posted and forgot to squeeeee! I have cards from tronella and daegaer!! I actually got them last night, and believe me last night I was ALL squee-age, but I had to cook dinner so couldn't come fire up LJ and post. But even so I shouldn't have forgotten I had yet to post, because eor had to look at the cards when he got up, and comment that Tronny has very neat handwriting and put a Pooh sticker on the envelope and isn't she just incredibly cute.;) Tronny included little shiny balloon confettie, and Daegaer sent fic, which I will probably take to work and force my co-workers to read.:) *dances!* I got cool cards from cool internet peoples!

a tipsy post...

Because everyone has to make one once in a while.

I just got back from the 'company' Christmas party - and damn, the people you work with shouldn't be that much fun.:) I really wish eor could have gone, only of course he hates karaoke so he's have felt a bit out of place. But we have a couple of quite good singers, and one of the waitresses was awsome, I mean like awsome, like I wanna have her babies. After a while, though, I got sick of HB doing his Elvis impression and being all 'sexy,' I wanted something a little harsher with a little more soul, so I convinced Ghostman to sing Jethro Tull's "Locomotive Breath" with me. We did horribly, I'm sure, although PB complimented us. As Ghostman pointed out, our voices are too much alike, it was very hard to tell who's voice we were hearing and be sure we were on key, so of course he asked me to try to sing higher and I really can't sing high. I always have that problem with Ian Anderson songs anyway, can never find the right key, I don't know why I'm always drawn to try to sing them. But it was a good time.:) He's a good drinking buddy.:)

I got shangaid into dancing a couple of times with another guy I really don't know that well - yes, what, there's actually one of my co-workers I don't know that well? Yup, and for some reason he's the darling of all the other women, it seems. But what the heck, he would dance, so at least I wasn't alone on those songs. Most other people wanted to watch us dance, including his wife. Silly people. Dancing is not a spectator sport. My co-workers call me the dancing queen, but Bellatrix, aka Silly (that's what she calls herself) is definetly competition for that title - she's quite willing to go out there and have fun, which is good! :) A couple of girls who work with the other security group were also in attendance, and they would only dance sporadically. Kept complaining that the music was not inspirational. If it's got a beat my butt moves, I can't help it. Oh, and they attempted to sing "Baby Got Back," which was pretty funny. One of them bagged out in embarassment halfway through. They don't seem to have learned, yet, that the deal with karaoke is that if you don't sing well, at least do the thing with gusto, go with it, be really really stupid.:)

Anyway, here's me getting my butt off to bed. Trying not to wake up Eor.
