and all through the house.... not a pot was clean... not even a pint glass...
Not much going on. Had Christmas with my fmaily last Sunday because my brother is leaving for Arazonia today. Will had Christmas on Christmas day with my mother's family and Scott and his family. Will also go to my aunts on Christmas Eve for annual dinner. I am cat sitting for my boss and taking my car in to be fixed finally the week after Christmas. Not sure what Scott is getting me for Christmas.
We are on a skeleton crew here at work. I have projects I can do, but don't feel like doing. May take a long lunch tomorrow, but haven't decided yet.
Stupid snow.... It is suppose to snow 6 - 10 inches tonight. Freck'n-A....
Anyway... I hope everyone has a good Christmas and a happy New Year. I am off of work the entire week after Christmas so if you are bored give me a call or stop over. My car will be in the shop, so I dont know if I will have wheels or not.
I will be out of email and internet access until January 3. Looking forward to that pile of junk mail when I get back.
MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Hmmmmmm
Well office holiday crap has hit the fan.
Had two parties yesterday, a staff meeting today, and another party tomorrow. Kinda hard to get work done when I have to spend an entire day at lunch and at a holiday party, which is what I did on Wednesday. Have also been doing nothing but eating crap the last two days. Actually can't wait till that ends.
Nothing much going on. I have sent all my christmas cards, wraped all my presents, and I am enjoying the season. May play some poker at Pete's house on Friday as a fundraiser for our Adopt-a-Family. We failed to reach our goals at a gift wrapping day at Borders.
I WILL BEHAVE MYSELF!!!
also can't wait to play poker with my pink poker chips :o)

I Love the Holidays (Fuck my Diet)
I love the holidays!
All sorts of goodies are brought into the office. Students bring me presents, and it is generally a happy time. My faveorite, mint fuge covered oreo's come out, egg nog is abundant, and the joy of stuffing your face till you puke is there for two solid months.
Fuck my diet. Screw your diet! You know you haven't followed it since October, cause neither have I. Just wait till January when we can all start a new lease on life and celebrate our holiday gorge and work it off on the treadmill 3x's a day starting January 2.
(January 1 = football and hang over, let's not kid ourselves people.)
So... take the advise of the holiday email below from Jerri and enjoy your holidays! Eat chocolate covered cherries, egg nog, and any other holiday cookie you can stuff in your face!

Shannon Making Christmas Cookies
I almost peed my pants laughing! Thanks Pete!
Christmas Cookies
1 cup of water
1 tsp baking soda
1 cup of sugar
1 tsp salt
1 cup of brown sugar
lemon juice
4 large eggs
1 cup nuts
2 cups of dried fruit
1 bottle Jose Cuervo Tequila
Sample the Cuervo to check quality.
Take a large bowl, check the Cuervo again, to be sure it is of the highest quality, pour one level cup and drink.
Turn on the electric mixer...Beat one cup of butter in a large fluffy bowl.
Add one teaspoon of sugar...Beat again.
At this point it's best to make sure the Cuervo is still OK, try another cup ... just in case.
Turn off the mixerer thingy. Break 2 leggs and add to the bowl and chuck in the cup of dried fruit, Pick the frigging fruit off floor... Mix on the turner. If the fried druit gets stuck in the beaterers just pry it loose with a drewscriver.
Sample the Cuervo to check for tonsisticity.
Next, sift two cups of salt, or something. Who giveshz a sheet.
Check the Jose Cuervo. Now shift the lemon juice and strain your nuts. Add one table.
Add a spoon of sugar, or somefink. Whatever you can find. Greash the oven.
Turn the cake tin 360 degrees and try not to fall over. Don't forget to beat off the turner.

Holiday Eating Tips
Holiday Eating Tips
*From an email I got from Jerri
1. Avoid carrot sticks. Anyone who puts carrots on a holiday buffet table knows nothing of the Christmas spirit. In fact, if you see carrots, leave immediately. Go next door, where they're serving rum balls.
2. Drink as much eggnog as you can. And quickly. Like fine single-malt scotch, it's rare. In fact, it's even rarer than single-malt scotch. You can't find it any other time of year but now. So drink up! Who cares that has 10,000 calories in every sip? It's not as if you're going to turn into an eggnog-aholic or something. It's a treat. Enjoy it. Have one for me.
Have two. It's later than you think. It's Christmas!
3. If something comes with gravy, use it. That's the whole point of gravy.
Gravy does not stand alone. Pour it on. Make a volcano out of your mashed potatoes. Fill it with gravy. Eat the volcano. Repeat.
4. As for mashed potatoes, always ask if they're made with skim milk or whole milk. If it's skim, pass. Why bother? It's like buying a sports car with an automatic transmission.
5. Do not have a snack before going to a party in an effort to control your eating. The whole point of going to a Christmas party is to eat other people's food for free. Lots of it. Hello?
6. Under no circumstances should you exercise between now and New Year's.
You can do that in January when you have nothing else to do. This is the time for long naps, which you'll need after circling the buffet table while carrying a 10-pound plate of food and that vat of eggnog.
7. If you come across something really good at a buffet table, like frosted Christmas cookies in the shape and size of Santa, position yourself near them and don't budge. Have as many as you can before becoming the center of attention. They're like a beautiful pair of shoes. If you leave them behind, you're never going to see them again.
8. Same for pies. Apple. Pumpkin. Mincemeat. Have a slice of each. Or, if you don't like mincemeat, have two apples and one pumpkin. Always have three. When else do you get to have more than one dessert? Labor Day?
9. Did someone mention fruitcake? Granted, it's loaded with the mandatory celebratory calories, but avoid it at all cost. I mean, have some standards.
10. One final tip: If you don't feel terrible when you leave the party or get up from the table, you haven't been paying attention.
Remember this motto to live by:
Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, margarita in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO HOO what a ride!"

1 Martini, 3 Martini, 5 Martini... FLOOR
It has been three weeks since my last entry about belligerence and debauchery, so I guess it is about time for a new story.
Have been a very good girl the last two weekends. Have had a get together every weekend since the November 13th incident and have successfully enjoyed myself without creating trouble.
Thought I had things under control, then I met Cosmopolitian, and he brought 2 more friends also with the name Cosmopolitian, and then Uncle Smineroff was all gone, so we found a Green Lizzard and a Bloody Martini (I was dared to make a hot-pink martini) to replace him.
That is all I can report on.
I am sure that I provided pleanty of entertainment, which is what Pete always hopes for. But I have to admit, that Drunk Girl is getting a little to old to keep pretending that she is Tara Reid, so I am afraid that we may have to say farwell to the life and embarassment of all of our parties. At least until the shock collar comes off and she is allowed to dive into Pete's pantry once again.
ps - I have no clue how Tucker Max does it? How does he end up just as intoxicated as me and live to tell his stories?

Sex Rules!!!
REALLY REALLY REALLY want to talk about how awesome sex was last night, but knowing who reads this, saying what I have just said has already grossed you out, so I will just way one more time OH MY GOD!
That being said, I am now convinced that having sex really does release some sort of endorphin that makes you happy, cause since I started having sex again I have been in the best mood! hehe!
Party in Pete's pants tonight, woops, party at Pete's house tonight. He isn't making dinner which makes me sad :o( I think is it because it is costing him too much, what he doesn't realize is that if he picks a meal for us, each one of us can bring a part instead of him making the entire meal. So upset that there will be no taco fiesta tonight. I was gonna make a Mountian of nachos also!
Promise not to make an ass (pronounced arse) out of myself tonight.... well maybe a little. Jr. is coming back into town, and there are some questionable pictures of him and I flotaing around from his "goodbye" party!
:o)

Girls Rule!
Feeling much better today! YEAH!
Went out to dinner and for beer las tnight with Jerri! Let me tell you a little girl power goes a long way. JERRI ROCKS THE CASBAH!
Went home, lit up some candles and had a nice talk with Scott about his family and both of our feelings about what is going on. He is now mostly sad while I am still angry. He is the better man when it comes to forgiving. I however have a very hard time forgiving people who have betrayed me and lied to me as much as his mother has. I still haven't fully forgiven my father for things he did 10 years ago.
So I think both of us are doing better today. He does want me to go over to the house and "pick stuff out", I really don't want to, but I guess I am.
Party at Pete's house Friday night! To celebrate the Return of Tater Salad!! V.excited about that!
One more day to go before the weekend! Hurrah!
ps - pms'ing, so have been v.bad last two days with food!

Breakdown
Ever feel like you are heading for a nervous breakdown? This is one more thing goes wrong or happens, or if you cant get a day off work you are goign to *SNAP*
I think I am heading there. Thanksgiving weekend just really sucked the life from me, too much working and not enough rest. I am carrying some sort of emotional baggage right now also that I really cant put my finger on; maybe it is just an accumulation of things:
Work Stress
To Much Work
Taking Care of Home
Scott's Mum
Brother Engaged & Expecting
Lack of Money (regular & holidays)
Holidays....
It is already starting to pile up. I just really hope I can make it until December 27 when I have a week off of work where I can do nothing but sleep all day.
Last night I just broke down and cried. Crawled into bed at 7:30 and just let it out. Can't tell you why, maybe it was just time. Then Scott had to come home and deal with me. Like he needs that after the week he has had. Wish he would just break down and cry also. I even took it out on my sister and kinda beat her up last night. Dont really know where to start with that, she just got on my last nerve with that potty mouth and outside voice of hers and I went after her. She hushed up pretty quick after that. Guess her bark is way bigger than her bite, she didn't realize that when you bark at me I do bite back.
Anywho... things are starting to get to me, which is why I am glad that I have this blog. It is very relaxing to just be able to sit down and get it all off my chest and out of my system. There are still a few things I have to be careful about because of who reads this, but I am mostly frank and honest with myself and others here.

Morning after a Holiday Break at Work
It is 8:21 am Monday mornig after Thanksgiving.
I sit at the front desk.
I see everyone come into the office in the morning.
Why in the hell do they find it necessary to bombard me with "How was your Thanks Giving?" in bright cheery voisce at 8:21 am?
I have had 4 "How was your Thinksgiving?" in the last 5 minutes.
I already told one person "It sucked thanks!" of course it was a nice shocked look on her face... "oh... I'm sorry"
Don't be sorry that I had a sucky weekend, be sorry you asked me. If you dont really care, dont ask! I know it is all about being nice and friendly in the morning, but please people, give me two hours! "I am tired and cranky and wish I was still in bed, how are you?"
Thanksgiving didn't totally suck, the day was nice, shopping on Friday was nice, even working at the mall on Sat and Sunday wasen't to bad. What sucked was I didn't get to sleep in once all weekend and was going non-stop from 8 am - midnight all weekend long.
So maybe my problem isn't Thanksgiving sucked, but Monday is sucking pretty hard right now. If I was a guy I may be enjoying Monday, but I am not.
Happy fucking Monday!

Day Before Thanksgiving
I'm all alone la la la la....
They are all gone... I am all alone in my office because my mom can't leave her desk early. I guess I could continue to work, but what fun would that be. So I am typing on my blog, making copies, and watching Friends on my laptop. It is kinda fun having two computers going at the same time.
Anywho.... We are going to Scott's grandma's for Thanksgiving. Not sure how that is going to go. There is a HUUUGGGGGGGEEEEEEEE thing going on in Scott's family right now, something I am not at liberty to talk about at this time (but I promise that I will tell you as soon as I can). Lets just say at this point I would rather eat with my own family than his. So we will see.
Now tonight is the biggest bar night of the year. Usually I go out, get drunk and am too hung over to eat dinner. Not sure if we will be going out tonight, but $1 Bud-Lite drafts and karoke with my mom sound pretty good right now.
Anywho.... Ross and Rachel just broke up AGAIN and Chanler will always be the guy that peed on Monica.

Bathroom eekkkkkssss!
Dont you hate it when you go to the bathroom and you know who is next to you and then....
... they have to do #2, and it isnt a pretty poop, but a full blown poop.
Just kinda gross to think about really, guess you had to be there, but is most upsetting when you know you are sitting next to your female boss and you are both pooping....

Starbucks
I LOOOVVVVEEEEEE STARBUCKS....
I love the mocas, and I usually get them with a shot of mint.
AND I am addicted to Java Chip Frappachinos...
Here is where things will start taking a turn for the worse.
Starbucks just reciently posted their nutrition facts on their coffee's on their web site, I know it hasent been there before cause I have checked.
Today I found out that the Venti - Java Chip - Frappachinos (w/ whipped cream) that I drank every day all summer ($5 a pop = lunch) are 650 calories and 25 grams of fat!
woops...... could be why I didnt loose weight this summer even though I worked out every day...
Now they have Frappachino Lights, but they aren't that good either. Even though lower in calories (350 compaired to 650) they are still high in fat. Not sure why this is so since they use a non-fat milk mixture and no whipp, could be the web site is wrong and is pulling the data from the wrong place. anywho....
I also looked up my other fave drink (Grande Mint Moca). Whole milk and whipped cream are 400 calories and 22 grams of fat (Very bad!). Today I had a non fat, no whip wich cuts the claories to 230 and 2 grams fat instead of 22. (Very good!)
Anywho... Just found that interesting.... so if you are a Starbucks lover like me, here is the web site to check out how many calories you are drinking... http://www.starbucks.com/retail/nutrition_beverages.asp
Now that I think about it, this would be why I gained 20 lbs my first year of college, cause I lived at the coffee house and drank like 4 Grande Mint Mocas a night... holy crap!

Fat Ass 2
So.... felling all Bridget Jones I think it would help me to document all that I have eaten on my blog in hopes of obtaining the support I need to lose weight. I prob will never lose weight, well at least really start trying in the New Year, always seems like good time to start. My brother is getting married next September - vg goal to aim for - and I am sure someday I will be married also and I do not want to waddle down the isle like a Macy's Day blimp.
So for today I did not make it very far on the stay away from crap plan. I gave in at 9:00 for a chocolate/chocolate York Peppermint patty. So today I have eaten 1 hard boiled egg, 5 Hershey kisses (mint) and at least 6 mini York peppermint patty's; oh and for lunch I had cheese tortellini left overs from the "sensible dinner" I made on Monday night.
Yesterday I did pretty good. 2 eggs, leftovers, but then I made pizza for dinner and had 1/2 all to myself. A 8x8 personal pan pizza with mushrooms and cheese and ranch for dipping. Oh.. then I had a milk-shake for dessert (non-fat organic milk, ice, and java chocolate syrup)
*big sigh* I really need to stop talking the talk and start walking the walk... starting Monday I am putting myself into pre-training for the new year, of course I have been saying this for a month, but I really mean it. Though if I were rich I would get a personal trainer, go on trim-spa and have some plastic surgery done... worked for Anna....

Drunken' Sailors
I am a total and complete mug, asshole, drunkard, annoying, mean bitch, and I apologize to everyone who was subjected to my behavior this weekend.
I know there is always “one in a crowd” and in our group we tend to take turns, but my behavior was still unacceptable, and I will use all of my powers to make sure that behavior like that is not repeated.
For those of you now interested in what happened, I seemed to have consumed 1/2 a 5th (or more) of rum on Saturday. What resulted (I have heard) was some of the most annoying, loud, and lude behavior in a long, long time. No clothing was removed, but plenty of fuck's and middle fingers, and insults were released from my mouth and plastered all over my loved ones.
Apparently when you get tooooo drunk, the little guy who runs the gate in your head that stops you from saying stuff you normally wouldn't passed out WWWWAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYY before you do.
Some terms I have heard from multiple people at different times:
“If I had know you were drinking Morgan, I would have stopped you a long time ago”
“Gee Marshall I didn’t realize you had drunk so much Morgan, I thought you were just drinking coke all night”
“Guess you give a new meaning to drunken’ sailor”
And my favorite: “I didn’t know that sailors had turrets”
So as the world turns, so do the migraines of hangovers….
And I plan on never behaving that way again, will it actually happen, probably not, but I will do my best to be a grown-up from now on.
Anyone up for Bridget Jones II on Friday night? :o)
