Me? A SuperWoman???
Aren't all women SuperWomen this time of year? I mean how do we manage to always get what everyone wants and pull of a great dinner and look fab doing it???
Well, I'm feeling much less Grinch like. I think its just the stress of working so much this past month that's taken its toll on me. It is more money, but honestly, this past month I've had all sorts of customers. Those that just won't take no for an answer...won't accept that I can't give them a refund...those that won't accept that I can't pull a Nintendo WII from my butt...thsoe that won't accept that I have a fiance. It just kinda puts a damper on Christmas when you're dealing with that stuff day after day. And some customers really take the biscuit (pls tell me taking the biscuit isnt just a British term otherwise none of yall will understand what I just said), super demanding. But I know none of you guys are like that when you're stressed over the holidays. I mean you'd never take it out on an innocent walmart employee would you??? lol!
I guess we all kinda go a little coo-coo over one day! lol! I mean, Jesus has the biggest birthday bash, but He never turns up, never blows out the candles. I guess when you're as big as he is you don't need to turn up.
Still haven't posted those Christmas tree pics that I wanted. Who knows, maybe i'll get to it in the new year, which coincidently will be when your xmas cards will arrive. Still haven't made it to the post office. It's a good thing yall are of the opinion that its the thought that counts! :)
Well, tomorrow is Christmas Eve and of course i'm working. I hope you'll have happy holidays.

Living in Grinch Land
Every Who
Down in Who-ville
Liked Christmas a lot...
But the Grinch,
Who lived just North of Who-ville,
Did NOT!
The Grinch hated Christmas! The whole Christmas season!
Now, please don't ask why. No one quite knows the reason.
It could be that his head wasn't screwed on quite right.
It could be, perhaps, that his shoes were too tight.
But I think that the most likely reason of all
May have been that his heart was two sizes too small.
Do you think that the weather has an effect on a persons personality? I'm feeling strangely like the weather today, COLD & MISERABLE! Ba HumBug!
I don't know, I get the feeling that i'm waiting for something to happen or change? For something to be different...but deep down I know nothing will change. Next year will be pretty much the same as this. It'll go by just as quick and i'll be in exactly the same place. No, i'm not feeling very optimistic. I guess I missed my sprinkling of hristmas hope and cheer. Working in retail will do that to a person. Ba HumBug!
Things between Adam and I are complcated too. I'm sure that its not just in my head that he's been a little unreachable of late. I'm hopeful (wow, guess I do have a little hope left) that once he goes back to Florida on Monday things will be better. We'll see.
I've done a fair bit of my Christmas shopping, I've just gotta buy some stuff for Adams family. Gotta do that before Tuesday to get free shipping in time for Christmas. Also, you guys will be getting your Christmas cards after Christmas because i've been too lazy to go to the post office. Sorry. But its the thought that counts. Ba HumBug!
Its so cold outside...but not too cold for me to go and get a beer. After today, I'm certain I need one.
We got our Christmas tree last weekend and its sitting nicely in our living room with dozens of pressies underneath. I'll try and post a picture in the week.
I hope everyone is doing well. Sorry there are no Christmassy pics or graphics in this entry but...Ba HumBug!!!

Where is the time going?
Where is the time going? I think December needs to slow down a little, i'm not sure that i'm ready for 2008 just yet.I've been so busy these past few days. Tuesday I went kickboxing again, the first time in a long time, let's just say i'm still feeling it in all my muscles. ALL OF THEM. not the best move considering its the work christmas party this saturday.
I'm so saddened by the events of yesterdays shooting. We only just heard about it today and i've lots of people question America and its way of life. I think it'd be unfair to judge a whole country by the actions of a few unhealthy people. But one thing that people must question is the accessibility to guns and other such weapons, there is such a thing as making it too easy for people.
Tomorrow is Friday...I used to have a Thank God Its Friday feeling...but since i'm gonna be working all day every day until Thursday, I don't have too much to celebrate!
Its my brothers birthday tomorrow, he shall be 31...hehe...I don't know where i'll be or what my life will be like when i'm 31. I'm not in too much of a hurry to find out, but I hope i'll be happy.
Well, time to go window shopping online and then take my little hiney to bed!

Sleigh bells ring, are you listening?
Hello December... I can't believe that this year is almost over. Where does the time go, seriously. I think later this month I'm gonna have a good think about this year, about 2007. So very much has happened, things I didn't expect EVER to happen. Some good things, but mostly bad things. Such is life. But I still feel blessed for so very many reasons and I hope that in 2008 I'll take the lessons I learnt this year and do better.I started writing my Christmas cards yesterday and I've the addresses of most of you already, hopefully none of yall have moved otherwise a new family will be getting your Christmas card. But of course, i'll send an online Christmas greeting too.
We've been so busy at work recently, leading up to Christmas its to be expected. I like the holiday season but it sure is draining and working so much is making me more susceptible to colds and coughs. I don't like it but I can't afford to take a day off sick. I'm really in need of the money.
I've done most of my shopping but there are still one or two things on my list I need to get. I got Adam a nice thick jacket for when he moves to England, I'm not sending that over though cause it's too heavy and will cost me a small fortune to mail. There are four cd albums that he's asked for, Adam and I have VERY different tastes in music. I like to say mine is good and his is bad but i'm sure he'd say his is good. I'm certain i'll regret buying him these cds, I mean I always do because he'll just play them over and over and over again until I get to the point where I wanna step on them 'accidentally' or scratch them so they don't play. I know, i'm evil! I'm also making him a story book, back in '05 he made up a love story for me and I copied it down. Well, I started making him a story book of his story...I just never finished it. It took me ages just to do the 4 pages I did, lot's of cutting out and colouring in. Well, I reminded him of it yesterday and he says he wants me to finish the story and send it to him. I have to have it done by thursday saturday (next) because that's the last day for mailing things to the US and having it arrive on time.
For Christmas I've asked for a white gold charm bracelet, i've wanted one for years and he wants to get it for me. That way every year or special occasion he can get me a charm to add on. I'm also hoping for Carrie Underwoods 2006 cd, i'm in love with the songs Before He Cheats & Jesus Take The Wheel. I know, download it, but I like supporting the artist...and I guess i'm old fashioned in liking to have the cd to hold.
Next week is my work Christmas party, i'm really looking forward to it. I've got to get my hair done, buy my shoes and get a firming body. I need something to suck in my butt, stomach and boost my boobs. Apparently, even the celebs are wearing these things and they work wonders. You can get the ones just for your tummy or your tummy and butt but because I want a nice silhouette I'm going for an all in one. I never really get to dress up so I'm looking forward to it, i'll be sure to take my camera and post pics!
Well, i'm gonna go work on Adams card then get some sleep for my day ahead tomorrow. I had 2 starbucks coffees today, still yawning at 6:30. Don't think i've had a good lie-in forever! Its nice though because now i'm able to get up around 8:30 without too much of a struggle. Recently Adams been having a hard time getting himself outta bed for work. He's supposed to start at 5am but often he goes in for 7am instead and other days he doesn't go in at all. Its kinda an issue because we really need the money for the visa, he's thinking he might need to work when he goes to Florida just to have a little more money. Now, Adam usually has really good work ethic and i've said it to him. I think its just that because he'sa temp he earns really good money and he doesn't get in as much trouble if he doesn't turn up. He know he's making good money so missing one day doesn't mean as much as it used to. But we've talked about it so i'm hopeful he'll do what he needs to.
My neck and back is killing me, I slouch too much...also on my Christmas wish list is a plane ticket to NY so I can get a massage by Becky!!!
Happy Holidays
