Bad Santa...

Okay... Bad blogger, BAD!!! It's been a busy month or so with Christmas and work being all screwed up. But that's no excuse. I'm very sorry. I will iron my hand just the way Dobby taught me to do.

Christmas was good. Santa brought the darling angel pretty much everything she wanted. And I got everything I wanted too. Except, you know, for that handsome millionaire I wrote to Santa about. I guess that letter got lost in the mail. :( Pictures are posted on yahoo. Well, at least some of them are. I'll get around to the rest sometime.

The thing that's hardest to me about Christmas is putting all the decorations away. I find it extremely hard to motivate myself to get up off my ass to rip apart the tree, branch by never-ending branch. I need to do it soon though, or January will turn into April before I know it. And by that time, I figure... I might as well leave it up until December! Hell, it's taken me until the middle of January to even write about it!

Work has been absolutely nuts lately. We've lost half our staff and nobody is there that I started out working with, nursing-wise that is. I have a stack of work to do and it never seems to go away, no matter how much or how fast I type. I guess that's job security. I hope. SOMEbody has to keep a job 'round here.

Cats suck. That's all I have to say about that.

I hope you all had a wonderful holiday. I'll try to keep you better informed of my fascinating journey through life.

White girl: Excuse me, excuse me! God, you have a great skin. Do you tan?
Latina chick: Do I what? It's December...
White girl: No, [sighs], I mean, do you use a spray-on or do you go to a salon? You know, a salon where you lay in a booth...
Latina chick: No. This is my skin color.
White girl: I can see that, but how did you get it that color?
Latina chick: This is the color I was born with.
White girl: Okay, but how is it so brown when you have green eyes?
Latina chick: Did you just smoke crack?
White girl: Look, it was just an innocent question. I don't see why you have to get so personal...
Latina chick, turning on iPod: I hate everybody.

Aspiring hipster: All I need now is a tattoo and a MySpace and I'll be set! (I guess I'm ALREADY a hipster!)

The slightly bizarre ramblings of a 20-something living in rural Texas. Dashed with humor, anecdotes of her pets and family, attempts at staving off boredom, you'll wonder how you've been living without this riveting analysis of what is "small town life."

Most of the time I'm a laid-back chick; fun-loving, caring, loyal. I'm also stubborn, hard-headed and bitchy sometimes. But, I'm mostly loveable!

I've heard a couple of things over the years that have made me feel vindicated in my not so successful quest for the perfect body. I read a news article covering a dog that attacked a young woman, who happened to be overweight. The dog went for the throat and would have killed its victim save for the fact that she was nicely padded with extra poundage. Therefore, I have decided that I am fat to protect myself against freak accidents such as these. I then came across the statement, "We all get heavier as we get older because there's a lot more information in our heads." So I then decided that I'm not really fat, I'm just extraordinarily intelligent and my head couldn't hold anymore information so it started to fill up the rest of me! That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
