I'm at work. Working. *gah* I managed to make it into work on every single one of my days off. Except Christmas day and Christmas Eve. I really should leave town when I take time off.
Well I'm working on all the year end stuff that needs to get done. I'm still tracking packages on-line for the NUMEROUS errant packages shipped from un-named large dept stores. So basically, I'm keeping the 12 days of shipping, (I mean of course Christmas), alive and well. Oh JOY. Christmas was good. I got some very entertaining gifts. Mostly the were you really thinking of ME(?!?!?!?) when you bought this item? And the cute stuff, and of course the "allllrriiiggghhhtttyy ttthhheeennnn, Thank you" gifts. Along with 2 tons and 20 different brands of candy. Like my well endowed self needs "food for thought". *sigh*
On another note I've determined that I need to get my finances under control. Time to start reeling in the debt. I'm working on it, but the goal is to pay off at least a third by next New year. I may need a part time job too. Hmmm, already not spending quality time with the other half, this should make things dandy. Maybe absence will make the heart grow fonder. Probably not. I'll postpone that idea until after I've put together a budget plan. And had a tag sale or 5.
Well I should get back to number crunching.
Talk to me later!:)

December 19th, 2006: Christmas Shipping...DONE!!!
I'm done packaging items to be shipped for Christmas!!! WooHoo! As soon as UPS picks this last 34lb. box up I'm free to start wrapping for the people who will actually be opening pressies in front of me. I am elated. House is clean, presents are mostly purchased. Some to wrap and I'm good to go! Love not feeling to far behind.
Got Callie back from the vet yesterday. Impacted toe nail. It had grown all the way around and back into her foot. Only my cats would have types of problems. But she's all fixed and on the meds for any infection and the world is currently being seen through the branches of a very colorful Christmas tree. She has her spot all picked out.
Got all the stocking stuffers today and need to get a few more Kitty crunchy type things but I think X-mas at Chez Cat palace is well under wraps. I'll make cookies tonight and tomorrow night after my cousin comes into to town. There's always after dinner. Besides I didn't have any plans for say 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. Sleep is HIGHLY over rated.
I'm making an effort to keep my journal up to date. I think in the long run it will help me diffuse a lot of the things bouncing around in my head. Just tryin' to stay sane...no biggie.
Well love to all.
Ciao.

December 18th, 2006: Christmas Tree Name
04:55 pm:
Oh! I almost forgot...this year the tree has been declared "Guinevere". Yes, I name ALL my Christmas trees. This year was the first female tree. I'm so happy. Last Year was "Ernest", before that "Bob", "Clarence", "George", you get the idea. Its a way to give the tree some respect and to bring the holidays that much closer.
Yes, I am probably in serious need of meds. But I think it's cute so.....there.
Any who, this year the tree is obviously female, she didn't cost a lot, but she looks great. She has a full skirt and no holes anywhere! Which is truly amazing, because when I picked her out she was all tied up in that plastic fishing net stuff and they broke the top off. I prefer to think of it as she has no part in her hair now. Plus After putting on the lights and all the ornaments, she looks great. No garland, or fancy stuff, just a lot of green. All the ornaments are actually nestled in her branches and she could handle many more. Not minimalist but it looks like it. I will eventually figure how to post pictures. And you can see my beautiful tree. My cats think she's great.
Again, Happy Holidays.

December 18th, 2006: It's been a long time.....
12:51 pm:
Wow, I hadn't realized that it had been so long since I posted to this journal. Not that I'm posting to another journal, I just read a few other peoples posts and apparently forgot to "enlighten" the world with my own damn thoughts. However, I do have to ask am I losin' my mind? I have recently caught myself actually saying "My friend from the internet...." these are BLOGS I read. I might as well have called Ann Landers and Erma Bombeck "My newspaper friends". Well with my sanity in question, now I feel I may proceed.
Work--- has been cyclic, so busy I can't see the end of the day or so slow I can count heartbeats. Hired and Fired all the necessary people. We just attract some VERY entertaining people. Need to check references folks. It's a pain in the butt, until you realize you could have prevented....INSANITY IN YOUR LIFE. I'm just sayin'.
Beau --- well we are currently have our ongoing, 20 year, WTF, conversations. Totally thought I wouldn't be dealing with relationship fundamentals at this point in my life....WRONG.
Lately the phrases du jour are:
"I'm just not attracted to you, but I love you",
"I'm not sure what "I" want out of "A" relationship",
"I haven't really "wanted you that way" since you started gaining weight",
"I love you so much, I can't imagine my life without you in it".
But the rest of the time he's a normal functioning in society kind of guy. He's really SO NOT the guy I met 20 years ago, but we all change. Lots of decisions to make. Most of these statements were made under duress...I asked him. And since, we seem to have instilled a "NO LYING, BEATING AROUND THE BUSH, or even soften the blows (save my feelings) policy", I have managed to retain the "highlights that were etched into MY FREAKIN' SOUL. I don't understand the verbal diarrhea he seems to get when I want a normal relationship conversation. Actually, I think he just goes for the jugular to shut me up so he doesn't have to talk. Which would be wonderful for me, I hate talking every damn thing to death. Just freakin' DO IT. Okay, enough rant.
Holidays --- I have officially had Christmas explode in my living room/house. Crooked Tree decorated and named, check. Boughs of pine on the stairwell then wrapped with lights, check. Stockings on the wall and the mantle, check. Lights on the front windows, check. All figurines, candles, mistletoe, afghans, place-mats, dishware, bathroom linens,check. Holidays cards hung on walls,check. Presents under tree, holiday pillows in guest room, CHECK.CHECK. But have I mailed out all the presents or even the cards.....not so much. Almost done, UPS can hate me tomorrow. SO holidays are right on schedule. I do have to go shopping for the Christmas feasting though, I just can't decide what to make. Probably a ham and a turkey. *sigh* I must make a decision.
Okay, what's left? My little darlin's they are all being perfectly wonderful...more on that later.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year everyone. May your holiday be as wonderful as your imagination.
