Making the best of Christmas
I started using a new shampoo and now if I don’t wash my hair for a few days it does not get as greasy.
Zoloft for me was crap. It did not work. I had to go back to Effexor with Risperidone. I am starting to feel better but am still lazy and motivation lacking.9
Christmas is my least favorite time of year. I am starting to enjoy the tunes more but would prefer it if I could leave it at listening to Bing Crosby and these few songs.
John Denver - Please Daddy Don�t Get Drunk This Christmas
Wham! - Last Christmas
Mariah Carey - All I Want for Christmas is you
Tom Waits and Peter Murphy - Christmas Sucks
Sarah McLachlan - River [mostly because Adam hates it so much it gets him back for the hours upon hours of Christmas music he plays so I always play it two times in a row]
Wesley Willis - Merry Christmas
Queen - Merry Christmas (TOTALLLLLY different version)
John Prine - Christmas in Prison
Gayla Peevey - I Want a Hippopotamus For Christmas
I do enjoy a few more but do not know their names but they are guaranteed to be very cheesy and it would be like admitting I like Celion Dion to admit I liked them anyway.
This year we aren’t doing Christmas. Although, we did set up the apartment, our star is a steel dinosaur. We have more pertinent things that need our attention and therefore only wee Zorro is getting Christmas. I wrapped her gift in exquisite form sealing the kind of batteries it needs INSIDE and have to look it up on the internet now. DAMN IT, I guess I could call the store.
We didn’t even do cards. There is guilt that comes with this because giving feeeeeeeeeeeeels good but we gotta do what we gotta do. We aren’t even starting the sock monkeys back up till after Christmas even though we have the stuff. We will send gifts at unexpected times to a mail box possibly near you.
We were supposed to be going up North to the land of the snow and the ATV and the Snowmobile, Snow Angels, a Dog and a Fat Cat but with the wedding this year it just isn�t in the cards so we will be spending it with GOOD FRIENDS instead and be going home [to my parents place] next year and if there is no snow we will be very mad we have already decided.
I’m not crying any rivers over not going to the in-laws this year we have gone there the last two Christmases of the going on four we have spent together and if you can believe it we haven’t spoken one word to any of them since the wedding day. I guess due to things that precede me there is an expectation that Adam will contact them but things have changed a large amount and due to ignoring me fully on our wedding day and not even being able to put shit aside for one day being OUR WEDDING day it doesn’t look like it will be a ‘lovely holiday season’ with the in-laws. [been holding that in a LONG while]
Adam and I have played Trivial Pursuit 90’s edition three times since we got it for a wedding gift. In three games we have gone through all the cards, not all the categories on the cards though. There is no disputing we rule at it. But we need to put it aside for a short while before we end up with no friends and no one wants to play games with us. We are going to a party this weekend where we’ll be playing the Canadian Edition of Monopoly and Adam says he sucks at Monopoly because he never uses any strategy I figure this is an early attempt at hustling on his end to see if I’m a master Monopoly player. I’ll never tell him that I lost to an eight year old the last time I played. Ever, he must never know.
We are getting Costco cards. One opened near us. FUCKING SWEET. Bulk buying rules and makes me excited even in a small apartment I’m a master at finding places for it all. I get a ’spouse’ card. Awesome.
