Grrrr, xmas spirit 180º

Wot???!!!!

You'd think with those big ears she'd hear clearly.........................

I think what I needed was sleep! I got somewhere between 10 and 12 hours last night. Holy cow!

A brighter day has dawned?

aye

Glad you're chipper, whittle gull.

Ah, the Christmas trap. This is why I it's not my favorite holiday. Christmas is full of emotional boobytraps. Why do we think that because it's Christmas our lives must look like a fairy tale? littlek, ain't nobody's life that's perfect. Just take time to enjoy your family and be thankful for what you've got not regretting what you haven't got.

P.S. I said that for myself as much as for you.

Good advice swimpy, thanks for the reminder.

BrandX, I'm not exactly chiper, but I'm chiperer.

If we could invent a humbug exterminator, we'd be rich! Actually we shouldn't charge for them, just give them in good cheer.

sore throat .... nice. Such a loverly gift.

true BrandXYZ

met the nicest dogs today. put my little monsters to shame. ah, cheers. you have that drink yet?

Thursday night at the holiday inn some of my very white collar regulars got fall down drunk and I mean one lady actually fell off the stage onto the floor, everyone showed their ass, inappropriate sexual remarks were flying all over the place, and it was because, and I quote, "everyone's in the spirit" I won't say it depressed me but it certainly shored up my ever increasing cynical and shitty attitude.

Then I took the family to see Lord of The Rings last night and today me and my youngest cub went out and did some Christmas shopping and now I feel better.

I'm sure something will happen at tonights show to bring be back down to Earth though.

I am feeling even better. Quinn and fishin showed up to wine and dine me. I been done wined (well, ginned, really) and uhm feelin mush bettah. {grin}

Mrs. SealPoet read something along these lines yesterday.

I heard that the secret of happiness is to look around you and finish all of the things you've started.

So far I've finished a bottle of red wine, a bottle of white wine, a bottle of tequila and a box of chocolates.

You have no idea how good I feel.

haha! She's a wise woman, your Mrs. Seriously. I think that I have to much open-ended right now.

Something too that. I just finished my semester and that stack of beer in the frig, and the world looks much brighter. (Well, the sun's out, too. That may have something to do with it.)

yep, sun's good. We have some of that today.

Well, I'm thinking that my big implosion on friday night, the one that inspired this thread, was due to several factors. And the biggest single factor was the damned cold that finally nailed me down yesterday. I felt like I was evading it all week. Very tired and all. All the little stuff got big because I was too tired to deal with it.

Had that last weekend. It was a drag. My sister was hospitalized with pneumonia from the flu that was going around, though, so I guess I was doing all right.

yikes! That flu is nasty!
