Make Outs

| Labels: , , , , , ,


I'm not dead, although I know my blogging has been mighty inconsistent this month.


Work is busy, and life outside work is busy... So I guess that makes sense. Less time to sneak off to the blog. Still, I appreciate those of you who stick around to read my ramblings!


Today my BH and I went to his university library to do some research. It actually made me momentarily nostalgic for my university days, which is quite a feat. Remembering university usually just makes me twitch nervously. Too much stress in too short a time, and not enough debauchery to fill the void.


The library visit also made me want to make out among the stacks of books. Seriously: hot boy, cool books, quiet aisles.... MAKE OUTS. Am I right? My BH didn't accept the idea with quite as much enthusiasm, but I'll work on him.


I went to an office Christmas party last week where I got too drunk too fast. I know how stupid that sounds, but I didn't do it on purpose. My stomach was empty and the food took forever to arrive.* I'm hoping I didn't say anything too dumb, but the odds are against me. I turn into an instant potty mouth when paired with beer. I also get pretty gay. You do the math.


Anyway, my multi-faith household wishes you a very happy Hanukkah. As you can tell by the photo above, we stored our candles in a very hot cupboard this year. Oops.
*I also drank like a fish. Guilty.

Pacing Myself

| Labels: , , , ,

Yesterday was weird.

I had an unexpected day off work, which was great, except that I couldn't really decide what to do with myself. I puttered around for a bit before I decided to walk my lazy ass down to Preston and get all my knives sharpened.

There's something about walking though Centretown with a giant bag full of knives, let me tell you.

Now I have knives so sharp I'm scared to use them. I was washing them in the sink after I brought them home and sliced my heavy duty sponge in two. Eventually I'll graduate from sponges to actual food. The reason I got them sharpened in the first place was to avoid the mess I become when I'm cutting onions.

So. It's December. Consider my mind blown.

Obviously I knew it was coming. I have a calender. I know that December follows November. But I know how quickly December slides by, so I'm already wondering if I'm going to blink and find myself in January.

Here are some of the things I'll be doing to make December as great as possible:

- make mincemeat pies

- make chocolate candy cane bark for my co-workers

- have a million dinners with my friends

- order my final two or three Christmas gifts

- buy more Hannukah gelt

- bring out my Christmas decorations and do up the apartment

- listen to a lot of loud choral music

- hang out with my puppy and my BH as much as I can

- send out some holiday cards with pictures, especially to family in India

- sing in the choir!

- make some lists (funny, I wrote this down before I noticed the irony)


How about you? What are you going to do to make sure your month is fun fun fun?
