Sorry for the delay on Snark-mas for days four, five and six. I've been doing stuff around the house and working. Mainly helping secure stuff for me and Hunter to hold down the fort while the parents are down in Alabama. Yeah, they are going down there for a couple of months. The best part is that Hunter and I get the run of the house, and that the only bill we have to worry about is the grocery bill. The worst part is that they're freaking taking BO with them. (This is the most rational excuse they were able to come up with: with Hunter still in school and me at work, it's not fair to leave Bo home alone most of the time. Mom and Dad are home all the time, and Grandma Cozie's place has a fenced-in backyard so he can run around and not be on a line.) I'm going to miss him immensely, but I'll probably be going down to visit them by the end of January.
But I'll be able to get caught up on my snarks, though! I have the next three days off!! *sings the Hallelujah chorus* I requested tomorrow off because I don't want to work on my birthday, and somehow I got the next two days off after that, so yeah!
*tangent* Since Mom and Dad are leaving for Alabama soon, they won't be up here for Christmas. This meant that Hunter and I got our presents early. I got this really nice jewelry armoire, because I still have all of that jewelry from Grandma Cozie and no real jewelry box to store it in. And I got a dent in my Christmas shopping done yesterday as well. I have Hunter's present and Grandma Julie's present out of the way. There's still a thing or two I have to pick up for Kevin. I've had one for his mom for a while, I have a good idea what to get for his dad, I have no idea what to get my dad, and Mom will just have to wait for her present. (She knows what she's getting; it's just getting around to schedule it to be done, and it'll probably happen close to or after Christmas. But like I said, I'll probably be going down to visit them around the end of January, so it'll be a late Christmas and they're okay with that.)
.....So what exactly do I have lined up for the next few Snark-mas days?
Dec. 4th--"The Year Without A Santa Claus"
Dec. 5th--"Mickey's Christmas Carol"
Dec. 6th--"Elmo Saves Christmas"
Dec. 7th--"A Charlie Brown Christmas"
christmas,
the randomness of it all,
family stuff
