Holla-days

Well, I went on my big Christmas shopping expedition. I think I got like 95% done, which is good because I don't usually shop for it all at once, so it seemed like I spent a lot but I didn't cause like 80% of it was on sale. Still don't have a present for dad yet, but the man is impossible to shop for. I even wrapped everything I bought today. Martha would be so proud. I also found rawhide doggy treats in the dolla bin at tar-jay, and my picky little poochies ACTUALLY ATE THEM! I was pleasantly shocked.

Shopping for work clothes was a big fat bust. Busty chicks like moi can not wear bohemian wear that is so popular without running the risk of acheiving the maternity look. Plus, some of the stuff that is in the so-called careerwear section, there is no way in hell I could wear to work. Seriously, who gets to wear trouser capris to work? I didn't even attempt to go bra shopping, that is a hell unto itself. I did find two afterwork shirts.

i finished my sister's recess hat today. I do highly recommend the Peppermint Mocha at Starbucks because it doesn't taste like coffee that much. My neighbor across the street has three light up crosses on his roof (laying flat on the roof). We have a light up nativity but it's a little more friendlier looking. People in my neighborhood actually hire decorators to put up their outdoor lighting displays along with the indoor granduer. Not my family--we still practice authentic Christmas ala A Christmas Story and National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation. Did I mention that my little Daisy almost electrocuted herself by biting those lights that people fork into the ground? She's okay, but we think she got a little buzz cause she jumped up into the air.
