That’s because I slept right through it. I was so exhausted after the past two weeks and not getting enough rest that I truly needed that sleep. I was falling asleep by 8:30. I woke up around 11:30 and figured I would watch the ball drop but I fell back to sleep and woke up when I heard “shots” at midnight. Then I slept until 5am.
Pretty boring beginning to the New Year for me but I hope my 2011 is much better than my 2010 was.
And I feel horrible. Of all days to be dealing with a fever. This is horrible. I had invites to a couple of my coworkers homes as well as a good friend of mine. I had visions of stuffing myself with all kinds of stuffing, turkey and candy sweets. Then tomorrow worrying about taking herbal weight loss pills to get rid of the weight I had gained today. Instead I’m sitting home watching Kung Fu Panda and football.
I don’t have anything with turkey in it in the house. I’ll probably have pasta with texas toast and call it a day.
Have a Happy and Safe Thanksgiving!
I can’t believe another holiday has come and gone. Yesterday was a holiday and I feel like I totally missed it. I didn’t even get to do anything fun. I should have been kicking back puffing on a couple of cigars and just relaxing. I did get to watch some sports yesterday though. There was one baseball game and Monday Night Football on last night. Of course they were on at the same time so I had to keep switching back and forth between games.
On the positive side, at least this is only a 4 day work week. Hey I have to find the small victories wherever I can.
I usually don’t have to buy a lot of gifts for Christmas. I send my mom and my brother some cash and call it a day. Sometimes I buy a few small token gifts for friends and coworkers but it’s nothing major. Well my niece had a baby this year and I have to find something for her.
Since I’ll put out way more money than I usually do, I’ve already started looking around. I don’t want to get clothes because that’s what everybody buys. I want to get her something cool and fun so I started looking at buy.com for gift ideas. I was looking at the weekly deals page to get a few gift ideas and I saw more stuff for me than for anyone else. I did see one of those flip camcorders for less than $100 bucks. I thought about getting that for my niece to record the baby’s first Christmas.
As for the baby herself, I’m still looking for her gift.
It’s ironic that I decided to wear green today. When I first got to work, one of my coworkers pointed out that we both had on green and I still didn’t get it. It wasn’t until another coworker pointed out that none of the people in the office of Irish decent were wearing green that the light bulb went off.
Today is the one day it’s cool to be dressed in green from head to toe and drink green beer (if you drink beer). You can also find corn beef and cabbage at almost every restaurant you visit. Most people won’t worry about finding a cure for hair loss today. Now tomorrow when that hangover wears off, it’s another story.
But today we party and have fun. Happy Saint Patrick’s Day!
Today is one of those holidays that doesn’t really feel like a holiday. It’s President’s Day so there is no mail or trash pickup and banks are closed but almost everything else is operating like normal. So I’m just laying low in the house watching tv. I wish I had a Amish fireplace to curl up in front of with a glass of cocoa cause it’s pretty cold outside. I’ll just wrap up in a blanket like I usually do.
I’m just going to try and enjoy the rest of my day.
I’m never in the Christmas spirit. I don’t know if it’s because I don’t have kids or that my family lives so far away or what. I do know that I’ve never been into Christmas. It just seems like a big fussy day and I hate fuss. It just seems like the holidays are so commercialized and it just seems like a big gift grab.
Maybe I’ll be more excited come Friday. But if I don’t go home to visit my mom, it will be just another day at least for me.
Holidays are great. I love having 3 days off to do nothing but loaf around the house and watch tv all day. Unfortunately it seems to go so fast. I can’t believe I only have 3 hours until I have to get ready for work again.
At least I still have a football game and the rest of the baseball game to watch tonight. I don’t have to worry about hearing about my friends disability appeal or her medical issues. At least not until tomorrow anyway. I plan on enjoying the rest of the night by kicking back and putting my feet up and watching tv until I fall asleep.
It’s the Fourth Of July weekend starting today. Tomorrow is the actual holiday but since it’s the weekend people started celebrating early. I won’t be doing anything special but if you’re going to be out and about, make sure you have a safe and enjoyable weekend!
Now that’s a yummy holiday if I ever heard of one. Dunkin Donuts is giving away a free donut with the purchase of a beverage. Krispy Kreme (my favorite, yum yum) is giving away a free donut with no strings attached. I actually had a Krispy Kreme today and it was delicious. The weight loss supplement pills that I’m taking are going to be working overtime today. Especially since I had the donut early this morning (around 2am-ish) before I actually went to bed. I’ve been pretty good lately so I’m not too worried about it.
Now you get out there and enjoy this national holiday.
