MIA

I know, I know. I’ve been missing again. Sorry!

I’m not sure if it’s burnout from NaBloPoMo or the time of the year. But I remember being this way last December.

This year is different though. I’m more bah humbug about everything.

I got about 10 ornaments put up on the Christmas Tree before I decided I was done and over it already. And if WhatsHisFace hadn’t put up the wreath, stockings, tree, and lights then I’m betting it would all be still sitting in boxes down in the basement.

So far, I’ve only bought what I had to get shipped back to Ohio for Secret Santa and Parent Presents.

I have made a couple of dozen cookies in general, but haven’t managed to put them in containers to give away. I even threw away half of the first batch because they sat for so long on the counter.

If we didn’t have folks expecting a Christmas Day dinner, I think I’d have opted for a day of PJs, cheese dip, and either movies or playing computer games.

Just call me Scrooge.

Yay, Christmas!

Here’s some fun Christmas ones to get you in the mood:

Your Elf Name Is…

Grumpy Stocking Stuffer

What’s Your Elf Name?

And for my other personality:

Your Elf Name Is…

Candy Blinking Bum

What’s Your Elf Name?

Who Told On Me?

You Are Sex On the Beach

When comes to drinking, you like it to go down smooth. You really don’t like the taste of alcohol – just its effect on you. So, you’re proud to get drunk on fruity, girly drinks. Because once you’re liquored up, the fun begins!

What Alcoholic Drink Are You?

Here Is Where I Gird Up For the Flogging

If you are from the United States or are interested in our politics, you might want to go over and play the Candidate Match Game.

It’s a great tool to compare and contrast all the candidates using the criteria you think is most important. You can only choose from stock answers, and quite a few of them are really pretty similar. On the other hand, some of the answers (and maybe one or two questions) look to have been created by a stadium full of monkeys with a typewriter. But it’s politics, what can you expect?

And yep, I did just give you probably way too much information about my political bent (short answer: tree-hugging, bleeding heart etc) with the snap shot above, but I was semi-surprised at the results. The first time I played the game was pretty ugly. I came up with two Republicans and a Democrat I didn’t even know. I blame a bad day and reading comprehension problems. Yeah, yeah, that’s it.

But You Can Call Me Twelve

Get Your Cyborg Name

Eh, Says You

You Are a Fruitcake

People pretend you’re sweet and precious, but they know how weird you really are!

What Holiday Food Are You?

Ah…. December

I’m down to 638 unread posts in my feed reader. *sigh*

Wanders off grumbling about NaBloPoMo…..

NaBloPoMo: Last Day!

My office smells all flowery. WhatsHisFace tried to send these last week, but with the snow and the holiday, they didn’t get here until a few days ago.

My method of arranging flowers is to plop them into a vase and maybe move a more opened flower over to the edge. I remember taking a flower arranging class in Japan when I went with the college group, but honestly, those women spent hours and used a ton of squishy foam and wire. Who has time for that?

In other news, it looks like our local nuclear friend crew is going ahead with the Secret Santa thing for Christmas. I don’t really grasp the concept. Why the secret part? It obviously adds an element of fun for folks, but I feel like the Grinch. Me no get it. (Hi English teacher dating one of my friends! I put that in just for you! I obviously need a nickname or online handle for you. Hmmm…..)

Anyways (heh, another one, but this time you’re way too far away to hit me)… I’m glad that November is finally over. I was just not really feeling NaBloPoMo this year. Having a theme for the month was a good idea, but my execution of it was a bit lacking. I also had wanted to roll out a new blog template/design for NaBloPoMo. I have a template I like over on my test blog, but there are a few issues with it that I can’t seem to find the inclination and time to get fixed.

Two, Two Days Left!

Cute, no? This is Doktor Uh-Oh’s newest family member. They sent the picture after Halloween.

(Yes, and I’m scraping the bottom of the barrel. No access all day will do that to ya.)
