With sprinkles!!!

Feels rather like an ordinary, boring Thursday today. Wish I had gone to Maryland. Missing my family. But here’s some cheer!

Can I have a do-over?

It’s been a blur these last four weeks or so. Spent Thanksgiving with my family in Maryland, which was fun. Reconnected with a friend from way-back, which is awesome. I haven’t been very festive lately, though. Odd for me, since I really look forward to my Birthday and Christmas. I haven’t been grinchy or anything, just not festive. The house is still decorated for Halloween. And I guess the snow storm(s) canceling most of my birthday fun didn’t help. But really, I wasn’t especially anticipating it this year. And I haven’t shopped for gifts, even for the kids in the family. Everyone’s getting their stuff late from me. I haven’t sent cards. I’m such a slacker. I’ve been in denial and now here it is, Christmas Eve, and I haven’t done anything remotely Christmassy.

I think what I’ll do is just have my holiday fun in January. I’m still planning on having New Years’ Linner on Saturday the 3rd, at which time I hope to have some meager gifts for my friends. And perhaps I’ll send out some New Years’ cards. Yeah, that sounds like a plan.

I didn’t mean to skip Christmas, it just sorta happened.

postponing the party

Weather doom. Postponing for another day. Perhaps tomorrow.

super birthday fun times

So, I’m in complete denial about the time of year. I’m excited for my birthday, yes, but have been in complete denial that the day is in fact tomorrow. Hence, why the notification regarding my birthday plans have been a little, shall we say, slap-dash. Right, so, here we go, then:

Friday, 19 December 2008, 8pm, Chez Nous.

We’ll have plenty of drinks (hard and soft) and snacks, but feel free to contribute if you so desire. No theme this year, just come over and hang out. JeT put out an invite on Facebook, but if you don’t check that sort of thing, um, sorry.

Ok, if you have any questions feel free to call, but I may not pick up because I only have, perhaps three? minutes left on my plan this month and it doesn’t reset until tomorrow, so I suppose the best way to contact us would be through texting, if you’re able to do that sort of thing. Otherwise email’s the second best way to go. I’ll try to check regularly this evening.

Cheers!

Remember, remember, the 5th of December

Take that, Pirates.

ETA: And I always get this song by MC Chris stuck in my head. Seriously. All the time. Someone put together a ninja montage for it, and it rules. And they no longer carry the Hoodie Ninja Hoodies in the shop, but you can still get the sticker. I really wanted to get that hoodie for JeT for Christmas, too. Grr. Stupid procrastination.
