Mr. W has gotten so many compliments on his new hat that he wants to go back and buy a few more (different colors).
I wish I had photos of me and Jordan playing in the hat shop.
My mom’s xmas wish list (stuff she wants from me) this year includes a new TV, boots, string of pearls (necklace), diamond earrings, and a puppy, but my dad won’t let me get her the last item.
Wrapping presents with a cat around is always a great challenge, as Mr. W found out this year for the first time.
How in the world did we get invited to so many Christmas parties?
The first off-site work xmas party is tomorrow, and altho I half-agreed to step it up a notch and make myself halfway attractive, I’m really too lazy and don’t feel like it.
I’ve been so tired lately, skipping the gym and taking naps at my desk at lunchtime instead.
It was funny today when my judge and court reporter were discussing their reviews of nonfiction books about the Black Panther movement, first-hand accounts of Al-Qaeda from the inside, secret government surveillance of our military, etc., and during a pause in their conversation I offered, “I’m reading an adolescent novel about a teenager’s romance with a vampire,” and my judge had looked at me in horror and exclaimed venomously, “You’re not reading that Twilight crap, are you?! …no thanks, reading about government conspiracies is scary enough.”
That was a very long 1-line sentence.
Your mom wants a puppy? How cute…too bad you can’t get her a little fur ball.
We’re only invited to 3 Christmas parties.
Someone saw your comment on myspace about the Twilight books. She offered to let me read her set. I had to say “ummm…sorry, not my thing.” It would take me YEARS to read those. I’m such a slow reader, and reading always makes me sleepy.
I think both she and my dad realized/figured that puppies are a lot of work, and altho they like to play with them, they don’t want to do the day-to-day care of them. Now she wants ME to get a puppy so that I could visit with it on the weekends.
You consider 3 xmas parties “only”? We have 4 (so far), not including our families, and that’s already kinda crazy.
You’d be surprised how quick it is to read something you’re interested in. You read thru your blog, other people’s blogs, comments and emails daily and that’s A LOT of words. Imagine those words translated into book form. You’d be a pretty rapid reader, I bet. And you’re sleepy reading cuz it’s something that hasn’t really captured your interest.
ppl shouldn’t diss other ppl’s reading material. haha.
or they should at least try it for themselves before dissing, I say.
