I’m back. Back again…
- January 7th, 2010 12:16 am
Hmm.. Where to start you’ve basically abandoned your blog for a while? I suppose I could start with saying I am back somewhat.
The month of December was December at its best, or the very best that December knows how to be, I suppose. You know December, always pulling shady tricks on you. Sometimes it’s good. Sometimes it’s bad. Most of the time, it’s just December. It came in with messy bouts shopping and tidied up with Christmas and New Year’s Eve. Which, if I were to label evenings filled with some of my poorer decisions made under the influence, NYE 2009 is raking it in close to the top. Not at the top, mind you, but very, very close. That said, I do NOT do dark liquor under any circumstance, especially in combination with many others. And Jager. Oh, Jager: How do I loathe thee? Let me count the ways.
Exciting Christmas tidbits? If you’ve been reading for a while, you would know that when I married Adam I inherited a nut of a relative that I had not previously met. I call her 80’s Lady on here and I used to discuss her quite frequently when I relied on the fact that she most likely did not know how to work the internet. Then I found out she actually had the internet and regularly rocked myspace, and–well, shit obviously went awry.
But anyway, 80’s Lady raked it in at Christmas and stole various gifts from a Christmas function, which I suppose is supposed to be sad, but mostly it just made me laugh. I know it sounds horrible, but I guess if you know her and her level of ridiculous finding humor in any of the oddly motivated things she does is really the silver lining. One of the gifts was even Allies. It’s still funny to me, though. I’ll just chalk another one up on the list of things I’m most likely going to hell for.
Apparently in my long break from blogging, I forgot how I usually write in concise paragraphs because concise paragraphs are what I like to see on other peoples blogs. I’m more likely to keep reading if you don’t toss too many sentences into one spot. Oh well.
Anyway, back to regular things, Allie has been fabulous. I stood in line at Wal-Mart at 4 a.m. like a total redneck so that Santa could take the glory of bringing her Zhu Zhu pets, or “Susan pets” as she calls them. I was ready to throw bows like a backwoods ninja should anyone try to cut line. But I got out safely with TWO zhus zhus at that. They were going like crazy in our area. Finding them was like stumbling upon a hundred dollar bill laying crisply on the sidewalk. It just wasn’t happening. But victory happened. Oh sweet victory.
And what else: I’d like to thank everyone that participated in the twittering about my disappearance and the messages. It’s nice to be missed. It’s even nicer to know that people are concerned enough to message and email and such. I’m obviously very behind in email. What’s new, right?
But anyway, how are you? Thanks for coming back.
