Self-esteem boosters with Sarah

Be honest, you thought I’d have run out of these already, didn’t you? Ah, then you don’t know Sarah. They just keep on comin’. The most recent was on Christmas Eve, when she got a little confused about who I was talking about and assumed it was a guy I was seeing. When I correctedContinue reading “Self-esteem boosters with Sarah”

Amo a mi familia

Things my family had at our Christmas party that I bet yours didn’t: Sombreros and fake mustaches Lots of ninos and Holly/Pooder Precision shooting contests with a Nerf gun A chili pepper pinata filled with candy and prizes held by someone who a)first suggested we break it in the house and b)doesn’t remember that firstContinue reading “Amo a mi familia”

The power of persuasion

You guys, relentless hounding, hinting, nagging, bugging, suggesting and blogging on the subject really does work! ‘Cause guess what this girl got for Christmas? In all seriousness, though, it’s much more and much nicer than I expected and I’m blessed to have gotten it. My parents and sisters are the best and they’ve covered justContinue reading “The power of persuasion”

Merry Christmas, boys and girls

My gift to you – an amazing version of the famous story “‘Twas the Night Before Christmas.” Seriously.

In case you needed another reason

Newsflash. I cannot find the charger for my camera battery. I found A camera charger, but it’s the wrong one, leading me to think mine might be somewhere I can’t go back to (cougholdjobcoughcough) or somewhere in the abyss that is my room/closet/car.. The best thing to do at this juncture would probably be toContinue reading “In case you needed another reason”

Looking for a good present to get me? It rhymes with shmamra.

Oh hey there. I was just thinking earlier today that it’s about that time. About that time when I remember that people that buy me birthday/Christmas presents read this blog. And hopefully, they are susceptible to blatant hints. On account of there’s something I want. And not that i expect it but it would beContinue reading “Looking for a good present to get me?

In lieu of buying all those stamps…

For the past couple years I’ve been a legit grown-up – out of school with a job and apartment – I’ve sent Christmas cards to family and friends. This year, for many reasons, I decided not to send any. Instead I’m being cheap and sort-of creative. Plus, pretty much everyone that I’d be sending aContinue reading “In lieu of buying all those stamps…”

When surfing the Internets

This week’s suggestions are for if you want some ideas for Christmas shopping, or stuff to read in between visiting sites to do your Christmas shopping. They’re either sites I’ve bookmarked or sites suggested to me by friends or family. The shopping ones are cool if you have some one you have no idea whatContinue reading “When surfing the Internets”

25. CHRISTMAS

In 13 minutes, Christmas will be over. No more presents, no more Christmas music. I’m watching Christmas Vacation (third time in the past two weeks) on TV right now, taking full advantage of these last few minutes of this holiday. I’m unpacking my presents and thinking back on what an awesome day it was today.Continue reading “25. CHRISTMAS”
