so i've been a busy little bee, and will continue to be so! (and no nitemoves..you're not allowed to paint my naked butt yellow and black!)

it never ceases to amaze me how quickly the end of the year comes. as soon as halloween hits, it's a whirlwind of action. get ready for thanksgiving, have thanksgiving, then bust out all the christmas stuff and get ready for christmas, go nuts in a rush of buying presents for everyone, wrap, bake, cook, travel, and have christmas and all that it entails. and then it's off to have new years! after that you have to take everything down, clean up, put everything away...and try to get back into the daily grind. it's just,,, exciting and fun and stressful and exhausting!

so this past weekend i had to host my company's christmas party/dinner thingy (that i put together single handedly). and it was beautiful...and it bombed horribly! other than myself and my boss (and our significant others)...only ONE person showed up! ONE! only 5 of the 16 people i work with said they were going to come anyways, and out of those 5 people that were going to come, only 1 actually showed up. and she was 45 minutes late! and to top it all off, on monday, and since, not one person has come up to me to apologize for not attending. they've said absolutely nothing! but they wanted presents are money or whatever! sharon had me buy 10.00 target gift cards for everyone, which i put in little bags and everything. i wordlessly just put them on everyone's desks. and even then only a few poeple said thank you. it just seems that the people i work with all feel that the world owes them! that they should just be handed whatever they want. and they bitch about their jobs, which is relatively easy. they take phone calls and type in orders. not that difficult. and they bitch about it! it's like... if you don't like it.. dont' work here! it's your damn job! oh.. and get this... one of the guys that was supposed to be at the party. yesterday... one of our outside sales reps brought in breakfast for everyone, so the inside sales rep says "well i guess this is our party". and i'm thinking "no asshole, i had our christmas party, you were supposed to come to it. and you failed to show!" i was the bigger person, i didn't say anything...but god i wanted to! argh! i really can't stand this place!

anyways, so sunday was my grandparent's christmas party. so jeff and i got all snazzied up and went to that. they collect toys from the guests and give it to the local organization that passes them out to kids. so jeff and i brought 3 barbie dolls, the little people bus that walker and mason both love (so i knew it would be toddler approved), and some matchbox cars (cuz all boys love those it seems!). it was a good party. of course i knew almost no one. but i got to see marty,,,, which i see pretty much once a year. and i got to visit with the couple that used to live across the street from gmuz and buddy at their old house. and the couple (i forget their names) still live there!!! that just simply amazes me! btw nitemoves..they say hi! :) they were really sweet.

so this week.... went to the viewing of joyce's mom. :( poor joyce. i finally got to meet her girls. it was pretty amusing though to see the girls that my mother used to babysit!!! ha! just trying to imagine mom babysitting them is funny. with joyce's three daughters all have names with "d", and my mom and aunt with "d" names..that must've been a nightmare! 5 girls running around with a name that starts with "d!" how crazy is that!!! so i'm standing there listening to them talking about how they wish they could get out of there. and i'm thinking to myself "this is your grandmother's funeral." if cameron, walker, or mason said something like at mom or mary's funeral, i'd pop their little butts! maybe it was just a defense mechanism to cope with the loss or something, but it just seemed very rude to me. ..... i dunno.

so saturday i'm picking up my mommy early and we're going shopping! weeee!!!!! that'll be fun! i'm not sure how much power shopping she wants to do? but hopefully we'll find everything she wants and i'll be able to pick up some stuff too. i'm getting fairly close to being done with my christmas list. yay!!! i picked up a few presents last night! hehehehe!!! i've bought sooooo much stuff. of course, i've been christmas shopping since last christmas! ha!

so after shopping we're meeting up with jeff (swoons) and then we'll go over to deena's so we can celebrate her birthday (how old is she anyways?) and she and mom can exchange their christmas presents! yay! and we'll sing christmas carols. i've already been sequestered to sing "o holy night"...i just hope i can hit the high C again this year without warboling! doh! wish me luck!

and then sunday i'm back over at mom's early for baking (which i thought was friday night...) and i get to do that for a few hours and then jeff and i are going to mistle toe jam! woohoo!!! get to see silversun pickups --who i loveee. they're kinda like old skool smashing pumpkins. the shins, silverchair, and modest mouse! it's gonna be fun! and then back to work on monday (booooo).

and then wednesday.....i'm off to indy! squee!!!!! i am sooooo fraggin uber excited!!!! yay! i can't wait! and i'm going to get my hair all dided! hehehehehehe it'll be nice having some decent time off of work! woohoo~! 7 days off work! (including the weekend, but still). fraggin rules!!!! and the best part... i get to spend it with my family! yay! how kick assery wondermous is that!!!

other than work, life is awesomeness. poor jeff isn't feeling good :( i'm hoping he didn't catch my crud from the other week. poor thing. i should get him something to cheer him up! hmm..what to get him....

so much to do! lalalaala
