Hi
So, since we last spoke I've been...the same, minus the tears at TV shows and all.
I literally work, hang out with C&K and hang out at home. My life is a big ole ball of boring.
I'm stressed at work right now...we should have our open enrollment done by now and currently we don't have a decision on a carrier yet, no fun. So guess who gets to travel...a lot in the next two weeks? Oooh me! The best part? I have to be in Weatherford by 7am on Friday...anyone who knows me knows that I don't see 7am during the week (oh the joys of living 3 miles from work) let alone before then...and I get to travel with our insurance broker to Abilene. Fun times, uh...does anyone remember I'm not a good passenger? If my friends offer to drive and I decline, or ask to meet them there they should know that I'm not afraid of them...I just hate being a passenger - even now when my dad drives, it really bothers me and it's only getting worse as I get older.
But I'll be all over east and west Texas, Lousiania and other states the next two weeks - probably driving it all.
Eh, at least I'll get lots of car time to sing along to really awesome 90s music - maybe I should go get a MP3 player before that happens? I have XM - that should be enough. I'm really having a tough time spending money on an MP3 player right now. I've actually gone to buy one 3 times and due to either having to wait on a retail associate or having some stupid fat mom charge in front of me to get help I haven't gotten one. Must be a sign or something. Maybe if I get one now I can beat that 30 day return policy if Christmas yields one.
I have one present bought...one. I guess I should get on Amazon and get to shopping. Or target.com.
My dad wants a giftcard to Academy, my mom is getting an iPod shuffle - to see if she can figure out iTunes enough to warrant an expensive one or she's getting a handheld XM radio...my sister...I'm getting a gift card to Kroger. Until she starts paying rent or helping my parents with the bills or stops using my mema's good nature about watching her kid she doesn't deserve a gift. I usually feel bad though, because she usually puts a lot of thought into my gift every year. Sometimes I wonder how she feels about me...we all know how I feel about her...but I don't care enough to ask because regardles of how she feels about me...it's not going to change my feelings towards her until she mans up and takes responsibility for herself. When she moves out, I will buy her fun stuff for her apartment, take her to dinner every now and then and watch the kiddo. But until then? I just don't think she deserves it. Call me harsh or rude or whatever. My niece? She's getting clothes. She needs pants and sweaters and I'll probably get her a cabbage patch kid. Just because I got - uh scratch that, still get - one every year at christmas. Mema? I was thinking of some new clothes or some law and order DVDs...now that her dvd player works. Pop? I never know what to get him, maybe I'll hit up sears and get some nice shirts and a gift receipt. He's so picky though. Maybe he could use some new towels? Ug, no idea.
C&K are taken care of, and depending on where we're headed on christmas day I'll have to do a bit more shopping, but target can take care of that. I need to get my boss and his admin a present, and something for the receptionist backups...but that'll be more like coffee or tea mugs with coffee or tea in them. Hmm...
Maybe I'll get into the christmas spirit soon...it usually takes a while. I haven't even decorated my office this year, that's not a good sign. Our company christmas party is coming up soon. From what I've heard about past parties this is due to be a lot of fun. Note to self - take camera and charged batteries.
I'm off to lead another couple of boring weeks before my next post.
