Brain Freeze

I haven't been able to put a real post together lately...

so I'm going random today. WOOT.

I might have mentioned before how much I hate when the office heaters are kicked into high gear, haven't I? Yesterday, when we were experiencing a temp outside of friggin -20 the heaters were blastin their hearts out causing co-worker's fishy smell to return *gag*.

I have been at work for over 2 hours now I am STILL freezing. I told her I was going to snag the heater from AP office, co-worker offered hers to me but put a disclaimer that the thing smelled. The HEATER smells...sure uh huh.

*****

I keep searching for things to copy so that I can go hold my hands over the warm copier and sing, "Chestnuts roasting on an open fire". My boss' office is close by, I think he likes my singing. I hear him giggle.

*****

So the company had to lay off people in Kansas, because of this misfortune, we aren't having a Christmas party...or getting a company gift this year. Sucks, but I agree with the decision.

Since there's no party, those of us in the office will be hosting a pot luck luncheon. If you think about it, that's a lot of money for us employees to put out, along with Christmas gifts for the bosses...wait, YEAH, we're still getting the boss' gifts...sigh. OH WELL! IT'S THE SEASON OF GIVING.

*flips the bird*

Ode to snow, oldie. There isn't much snow here yet. One part of me is A-OK with that, I'm not a huge fan of snow, unless I'm sitting somewhere in front of a fire, sipping hot cocoa, or peppermint schnapps.

Really, it's not the snow that bothers me...I guess. It's the freezing temps. If it could be about 30 something with tons of snow, I might be OK with that (please note Mother Nature, don't follow through on this).

It just doesn't feel like Christmas is 14 days away, with no snow on the ground. I can't imagine how strange my Mom feels in AZ for the holidays.

Actually I talked to her about it, she said it's HILARIOUS to see Christmas decorations in the deserty yards. Yeah, I imagine so. I wouldn't mind it for one year, but I don't know if I could handle it forever.

And what the hell am I even considering, I'm not going anywhere, damn baby daddys. ;)

I can't believe that LAST YEAR was our Disney trip. It feels like it was a million years ago. So much has changed since then.

Only Midwest Mommy was brave enough to totally call out my uniboob in my snuggie picture, she actually said "who's under the blanket with you???" HONEY, if someone was under my blanket with me, he'd be lower ;) like below the belt lower...and my eyeballs would be rollin back into my head.

Just sayin.

We're putting up our tree this weekend. I have the mantle decorated and the lights around the windows, just need to complete the looks. I'm excited, but also, with all the sharing of the kids, co-parenting bullshit...it's like we don't have time for everything I want to do. It kinda sucks, but I know, I know, blah blah...I want the kids to see their dads. Meh.

Buggy is coming home Sunday morning, so Bubs and I will have the tree ready to put ornaments on. Here is a sneak peak of how things are looking so far...
More to come next week, I'm sure.

I created a playlist on www.playlist.com, did you know that Led Zepplin's song Kashmir is almost fucking nine minutes long???? For reals. That's just stupid. Love the song, but it can be cut down to about 2 minutes cause after that I get bored.

(that's what she said)

I'm getting the wii for Christmas and I'm totally stoked, well, actually the KIDS are getting the wii for Christmas. I am so stoked to play WITH them, family time and all. Yay.

I can't wait.

It's going to be the best Christmas EVER!!!

All the salt from the roads that is now all over my van really hides the scratched and beat up front bumper from my accident in July. WIN! (Did I ever mention my accident in July?)

Ok, that's all from me today...hope you all have a great weekend.

  4. Bring on the peppermint schnapps. We've had enough snow around here for the both of us. And cold weather. We're in the middle of a heat wave right now -- I think it hit 15 today.

    Is it summer yet?

    Why you still getting gifts for the bosses? That's just B.S. The potluck luncheon is a good idea though. We've got a list up for people to sign up for potluck party or sufin lilke that at our work, so far two people have put their name to the list...me and Oh I can't remember. I think it's gonna be a dull party!

  13. We have a potluck luncheon at the lab where I work and it's a good time. We don't do boss gifts. I think the bosses should give you gifts.

  14. ha ha, yeah, it doesn't matter and it happens to everyone. Whatever!
    I want to go to Disneyworld so bad, one day maybe.
    I completely forgot the other ten things I had to say to you. I know one had something to do with bosses.....but I don't remember. Stupid bronchitis.

  15. I'm such a Grinch that I usually skip our office party. I bwahaha'd on several lines in this one - the snuggie, more than 2 minutes is a waste, and so on.

  16. Get you one of those little heaters for under your desk. They're like $20 or something at Walmart or Lowe's. You can use them as fans in summer. I used to use it as a heater even in summer at my old job because I shared an AC unit with the Hot Flash Twins. They would keep it on 50; I would keep getting frostbite. Hence, the heater year round. Luckily I didn't have to deal with the fish smell. Can you get away with silk longjohns at work or those heat packs campers put in their shoes? You could get the latter from LL Bean.

    For the fish smell, I suggest Vicks under the nose. Works for dirty dishes.
