all my feet

you ever have something escape your mouth, quickly followed by the sensation of several feet being shoved in said mouth?

i found a sweater for my gram, on sale, at Ann Taylor. when the sales person rang it up, it looked from my angle as if it had rung in at $89.99, rather than the sales price of $39.99. 'i love my gram, but not that much.'

*slaps forehead* boy, that did not sound at all like what i meant, which was that i didn't have enough money to drop $90 on one present. i looked at the sales person, and said 'that sounded horrible, didn't it?' 'yup.' she did know what i meant, but...

sometimes the crap that escapes my lips horrifies even me.

infernal clanging

y'know, some days i want to rip those damn hand bells away from the Salvation Army people and stuff them where the bell doesn't clap.

Friday Five

courtesy of smattering.

1. What did you want to be when you grew up?

huh. y'know, i can't think of any childhood dreams, not in the 'growing up' arena. nothing specific anyway - i did have this idea that i would be in charge. and i did spend one summer pitching like Dennis Eckersley.

2. Do you have any nicknames?

not really. i had way too many in high school, which sort of exhausted that avenue. altho my best friend does call me 'sweet cheeks'. don't go anywhere with that one. just don't. ;)

3. If you could change something about yourself what would it be?

4. Have you ever bought anything from an infomercial?

geez, where did that one come from? nope. nothing they advertise seems to be worth 5 low payments of $29.99. i've been tempted occasionally to call one of those psychic lines, for the humor value. then Miss Cleo called me one night and scared the crap out of me.

5. How do you plan to spend your weekend?

working the TransSiberian Orchestra show tonight, driving around a little tomorrow, doing my Christmas cards, making a list of gifts to get. and sleeping.

cross-cultural

so i broke down and bought a string of tiny fake Christmas lights. i was in one of my favorite stores, at its going out of business sale, and the little faux lights were cute. turns out it's a necklace, not a string, altho that was easily fixed. and i've used them to decorate the bamboo shoots on my desk at work. it's about the closest i'll come to a Christmas tree this year. and it's pretty damn cute. if i wangle a digi cam, i'll post a pic for you.

yee freakin' owch.

i bought a pair of earrings for myself tonite. and when i got home, i put them in. and then i tried to put in earrings in the other three piercings. yowch!!! it's been a while since i wore anything in the second set of holes, even longer since i've worn a third earring in the right lobe. so now, my earlobes are in pain. i was worried that i'd miss, and end up bleeding, which i didn't. did that stop me? no. blech.

the new earrings are very nice, tho. pearl and garnet drops. went shopping for others, came home with these. that's the way my holiday shopping always goes.

nuts.

i got home tonight to find a package waiting on my doorstep.

i had forgotten about this.

every year, my company sends out the 'Hey! Our Stock Price Has Gone in the Shitter, and We Can't Actually Keep People on Payroll (See Our First Quarter Layoff Figures) But We Want to Send You Something Meaningless, so Here's Five Pounds of Cashews in a Glass Jar, Screw the Shipping Charges, Because You'd Pass Out if You Saw the Charges!' package.

i hate getting the cashews.

i tripped (literally) over the package when i got home tonight. less that five minutes later, my upstairs neighbors were in possession of a five pound jar of cashews.

whee ha!

how lovely. blogs are a relatively recent thing (certainly for those of us who were part of BBSs), and most people are just catching on. for those who have been doing blogs for a while, this is old news. it's still nice to hear that a friend has gotten some positive press.

<<-- over there!

i should mention that the last snippet doesn't mean the entries are gone. you can get some tasty goodness by clicking on the 'older' link. off to do some holiday shopping. back later to be more entertaining.

oh, crappityass.

i was tinkering with some stuff, and found out the 'feature' is not really a feature. meh. and now i've archived the last entries off into NeverEdit Land, which means i can't fix the graphics link. double meh.
