This one is fun, so I thought I would pass it along.
1. Egg Nog or Hot Chocolate?
Hot Chocolate. Nog = Nasty
2. Does Santa wrap presents or just set them under the tree?
Sets them under the tree
3. Colored lights on tree/house or white?
Tree - Multi, House - White
4. Do you hang mistletoe?
Damn Skippy
5. When do you put your decorations up?
David usually does the day after Thanksgiving, but since he isn't here, it's kinda hard to get it done.
6. What is your favorite holiday dish?
My mom's dressing with cranberry sauce. Yummers.
7. Favorite Holiday memory as a child?
Getting mad at Santa because my new motorcycle had mud on the wheels.
8. When and how did you learn the truth about Santa?
I'm too old to remember that.
9. Do you open a gift on Christmas Eve?
We used to open one on Christmas Eve when I was little. Now, nope.
10. How do you decorate your Christmas Tree?
Lights go on first! Then garland. Then our eclectic mish-mash of ornaments. (We get a new one for the family each year that signifies something that happened over the past year.) Then our crappy star-topper.
11. Snow! Love it or Dread it?
Love it!
12. Can you ice skate?
I've skated once and I didn't fall down, but I don't think that qualifies as actually being able to ice skate. Roller skate? You betcha.
13. Do you remember your favorite gift?
Well, it danged sure wasn't an electric skillet! (Was it, David?)
14. What's your favorite thing about the holidays?
Christmas songs and giving gifts.
15. What is your favorite Holiday Dessert?
Pie. Any kind.
16. What is your favorite holiday tradition?
The only one we really have is that the kids can't come downstairs on Christmas morning until they hear the Christmas music. David's parents did that. (I guess so they could get all of the candy out of the stockings and eat it themselves. hehehehehe) Christopher is trying to lobby against it.
17. What tops your tree?
Above mentioned crappy star.
18. Which do you prefer giving or receiving?
Giving, but receiving ain't so bad.
19. What is your favorite Christmas Song?
Oh Holy Night. But I have a problem with "fall on your knees.". I think it should be "fall to your knees". Fall on = ooops! Fall to = showing reverence
20. Candy Canes! Yuck or Yum?
Yum. They also soothe upset tummys.
21. What's number one on your list this year?
A $750 Tissot T-Touch watch. (Hey, I can dream can't I?)
22. Favorite Christmas movie?
Charlie Brown Christmas.

EUREKA!
Springs, that is.
I loaded up the boys and took a short vacay to Eureka Springs, Arkansas this past weekend.
We went to Turpentine Creek Wildlife Refuge and saw some cuties...
And a not-so-cutie.
This is what can happen when you breed a brother and sister. It was car wreckish. You didn't really want to look, but you just couldn't help it. His brother is very crosseyed, but this guy had other problems as well. He couldn't really controling his front right paw when he walked. It was sad.
We went and saw the Christ of The Ozarks. I felt bad cause I every time I looked at it I wanted to yell, "It was THIS big!"
We came back later that night for "Beyond Dickens". The boys rolled down the hill and Matt wound up with a mouthful of leaves.
He seemed no worse for the wear. He was seen dancin' with the ladies later on.
Hanging with the Bethlehemites and their livestock.
Chris and Katie.
They had a display of 100 Nativity Scenes from around the world. Oddly enough (or if you know me, not oddly at all) I liked this one best. It was bottles covered in foil and painted green. Cool.
This sign was very funny to me, but I have no caption for the photo.
When the "tax collector" asked us for our taxes (tokens we got when we bought the tickets) and our names to put on the tax roll, I told him, "Regina". I finally got to use my fake name!!! Woot! Thanks Pheobe.
I didn't even think about using Anastasia Beaverhausen.

It is official
It is no longer amusing.
Another deck down.
I have no more decks. I'm borrowing one now. It better not screw up.
Gah.

Gah.
Good times with foam
Two hours at a gymnastics place for a birthday party plus two hours at a church party at another gymnastics place equals "Mom, my legs hurt."
Whyyyyyyyyyy??!?!?!?!?!?!
Dear Electronic Equipment I work with,
Why? What have I done? Was it the move? Do you hate change as much as I do?
First it was the deck jamming. Then it was the computer crashing. Now it is the camera messing up.
Why do you hate me so?

Hello Monday, my old friend
Gaaaack.
First, my tape deck not only ate a tape, it jammed that sucker so wonky like, it has to get sent off for repair.
Second, my editing computer is being persnickity and I have restarted it a minimum of five times so far.
I don't think they liked the move.

The Move
The move has went along splendedly. I hope you read that in a sarcastic fashion, for that was the fashion in which it was written.
We pretty much decreased our total office space by 30% or so. The television studio is going to be totally useless for the next couple of weeks. We are having to store things everywhere!
Me? I still have eight boxes to unpack just in my office. Eight. Where did this stuff come from?
Plus, my Platonic Daytime Spouse and I have been split up! I know! How could they do this to us? We used to be six steps apart. Now, not only are we 39 steps apart (I just counted), but he's also in a totally different hallway. We discussed this earlier and we both agree they totally did it on purpose.
On the plus side, I found out that a Chinese restaurant here in town serves Lemon Chicken. Just my all-time fav-or-ite Chinese food. And I have managed to eat it three times in a seven day period. So now my list of favorite foods starts off like this - 1. Doughnuts 2. Lemon Chicken.
Mmmmmm....doughnuts.

Busier than a one-eyed man at a burlesque show.
My office is moving. I have been busy packing. (Good Cow. Where did all this stuff come from?!) Therefore and thusto, I will not be posting much these next couple of weeks. If something inspires me and I'm not totally comatose in the evenings, I might slap something up here.
With that said, here is a little something to keep you until then. Don't read them all at once. Pace yourself.
40 THINGS YOU'D LIKE TO SAY OUT LOUD AT WORK
1. "I can see your point, but I still think you're full of shit."
2. "I don't know what your problem is, but I'll bet it's hard to pronounce."
3. "How about never? Is never good for you?"
4. "I see you've set aside this special time to humiliate yourself in public"
5. "I'm really easy to get along with once you people learn to see it my way"
6. "I'll try being nicer if you'll try being smarter."
7. "I'm out of my mind, but feel free to leave a message."
8. "I don't work here. I'm a consultant."
9. "It sounds like English, but I can't understand a damn word you're saying"
10. "Ahhh... I see the screw-up fairy has visited us again."
11. "I like you. You remind me of myself when I was young and stupid."
12. "You are validating my inherent mistrust of strangers."
13. "I have plenty of talent and vision. I just don't give a damn."
14. "I'm already visualizing the duct tape over your mouth."
15. "I will always cherish the initial misconceptions I had about you."
16. "Thank you. We're all refreshed and challenged by your unique point of view."
17. "The fact that no one understands you doesn't mean you're an artist."
18. "Any connection between your reality and mine is purely coincidental."
19. "What am I? Flypaper for freaks!?"
20. "I'm not being rude. You're just insignificant."
21. "It's a thankless job, but I've got a lot of Karma to burn off."
22. "Yes, I am an agent of Satan, but my duties are largely ceremonial."
23. "And your crybaby whiny-assed opinion would be...?"
24. "Do I look like a people person?"
25. "This isn't an office. It's Hell with fluorescent lighting."
26. "I started out with nothing and I still have most of it left."
27. "Sarcasm is just one more service we offer."
28. "If I throw a stick, will you leave?"
29. "Errors have been made. Others will be blamed."
30. "Whatever kind of look you were going for, you missed."
31. "I'm trying to imagine you with a personality."
32. "A cubicle is just a padded cell without a door."
33. "Can I trade this job for what's behind door #1?"
34. "Too many freaks, not enough circuses."
35. "Nice perfume. Must you marinate in it?"
36. "Chaos, panic, and disorder - my work here is done."
37. "How do I set a laser printer to stun?"
38. "I thought I wanted a career. Turns out I just wanted a salary."
39. "Who lit the fuse on your tampon?"
40. "Oh I get it... it's like humour... but different."
I have been saying this "I can't want to." (As in "You have to want to." I can't.)
Love ya like a rock.
