five things

1. In case you were wondering what Boy George is up to now, click here!

2. The reason I am happy Christmas is over: I don't have to hear the Band Aid song again for a whole year!

3. Quite possibly the most despicable person of 2004: Anne Coulter. "To The People Of Islam: Just think, If we'd invaded your countries, killed your leaders and converted you to Christianity YOU'D ALL BE OPENING CHRISTMAS PRESENTS RIGHT ABOUT NOW!"

4. We watched 50 First Dates last night with Drew Berrymoore and Adam Sandler. I don't watch movies very often. And when I do I don't want to waste my time with boring, predictible plots. Really. I almost turned it off.

5. How to make me feel loved: Tell me that even though you don't eat bugers, if you were forced to, you would rather eat mine over anyone else's.

2004 in review

Instead of making a new year's resolution, I like to reflect on the things I have accomplished in the last year:

  • Eliminated all of my debt
  • Started a savings account
  • Drank more water and less alcohol
  • Read more books
  • Taught myself how to knit
  • Joined two soccer teams
  • Planted over 100 flowers
  • Upgraded my job
  • Quit taking Celexa
  • Ran 14 miles (1 hour faster than last year)
  • Traveled more

Items I hope to see on next year’s list

  • Bought a house
  • Left the country

shut down the borders, the mexicans are taking care of our elderly!

I went to a nursing home last weekend to see my friend's band play Christmas songs for the elderly residents. While I was there I noticed something strange, not only are Mexicans taking care of their own families, they are also taking care of ours! The nursing home staff was almost entirely comprised of Mexican women. They must think we are total assholes.

the charlie browniest

I am not a Christmas person. I hate commercialism, consumerism, bad trafficism and all the other chaotic things brought on by people spending money they don't have to buy people things they don't need. ALL AT ONCE.

Here are some funny pictures of kids that haven't yet been consumed by the greed of the holiday: Scared of Santa.

And my brother's words echo in my head each year at this time: "this is all I get?", circa 1984.

good deed for the day

I called AOL and told them to stop mailing me CDs immediately. They asked me three questions and I was off the phone in less than two minutes, never to receive another CD at this address again. You too can call them 24/7 @ 1-800-392-5180.

Next I called DEX, the local phone book company. They most recently dropped off two, larger than life, phone books. I wish they would just ask if you want one, instead of leaving them on your doorstep to promptly recycle, if you are cool enough.

  4. I am about ready to cut off more of my hair.
  5. I love MAC Cosmetics.

sweetness



Tom is gone to Miami for 6 days. I miss him so much. It is amazing all the little things that you take for granted, even if you try not to.

I love this man.
