15

i need to call Molly back. She left me a message yesterday..she left THE message yesterday. it went like this: "i hate thanksgiving. i hate christmas, too. i hate a lot of things, but i don't hate you." pretty much sums it up, don't you think? well, it does for me.

i tried to be a person who likes the holidays. i went to Target and got a little something for Walter, but he didn't really enjoy it.....
don't worry, we will try again. the hat is actually made for cats. the cats don't know this yet. but if christmas is going to suck for me, it is going to suck for EVERYONE.

i am normally not much of christmas shopper, either. but i tried. i bought gifts for friends. really cool gifts, too. and then the door latch to neil's office failed and moose chewed them all up when we went to the movies. merry christmas everyone...er....Moose.

yesterday, i put up christmas lights outside. just one string of the new fancy LED lights they make. not knowing where the extension cord was, i just put up the string so Neil could easily just connect the extension cord when he got home. but i put the string up backwards, so he had to redo it all anyways.

i am just very bad at this.

the one thing that i am enjoying is the weather. it is snowing. but it is 15 degrees out. 15 degrees is an adventure, people. that crap is COLD. numbingly cold. awesomely cold. everything is prettier in the snow. but i can only enjoy it up close for very short periods of time when the big 15 is in effect.

even my car is cuter in the snow:

somehow, while my body systematically shuts down in the cold, the dogs take to it particularly well...a leisurely squirrel patrol:


moose was made for snow.



i am working on it. it's my Obi One Kenobi as far as this whole holiday season thing goes so i'd better suck it up, huh? please send scarves.
