Finding Joy in Snarkville

Oh my, I feel like it has been ages since I wrote an entry and I’m sorry it took so long.  What with finishing up the prep for Christmas (only my second favorite day of the year — right after my birthday — what you don’t celebrate my birthday too as a national holiday — what the???), trying to keep my head on straight, and oh deal with two problems that are all consuming at work.  Nothing a nap and ice cream won’t fix.

Ok, back to the world where it is all about me.  Nope, I got nothing.  Hmm.  Sorry.

Actually, I do have a few bullets to tide you over until I find a real post:

• Took Duke to a playground the other day.  This playground is bordered on one side by train tracks.  As we were eating our picnic, Duke was waving and talking to the train.  We then played some more and headed back to the car.  At the moment we started to head back, another train came through.  Duke turned on his little heels (yes, Sarah, wearing his red shoes) and waved and said (so the whole park could hear) “Hi, Train, how are you this evening?”  I’m thinking too much Thomas, right?
• For the past two days, I’ve had the worst headache ever.  I mean I want to remove my eyeballs with a spoon kind of bad.  I thought it was sinus.  I thought I was hungry (I’ve not been eating enough protein — since it is Christmas and I’m living off of candy canes like any good elf, right?), so I’d eat something.  This made sense ‘cept my headache was not going away.  Anyone want to guess the cause?  Yup, I didn’t get my pot of coffee those two days.  URGH.  I considered Betty Ford for coffee addiction, but I think I’m just going to have another cup instead.
• Prince found his tripod.  It has been “lost” in the house for 6+ months.  To the point we’ve been thinking of shopping for a new one.  We have borrowed one when needed, but where did it go?  Well, we (I mean he) had stored it somewhere it wouldn’t be lost.  He even looked within two feet of its location many times — but this weekend he FOUND it.  Yep, it was right next to the pinball machine and not under it as he thought. If it had been a snake…
• I am DONE with my Christmas shopping and knitting.  This is something I’m very proud of, but has caused me to think maybe I can make one more little thing before the 25th?  Think it is possible?
• I lied in the point right above this one — I had ONE more gift to purchase.  Yes, one more.  I just did it — you miss me?  No?  Good.  Ok, NOW I’m done.  Well, except wondering if I can make something (can’t mention what because the receiving party reads this and will know in a second who and what I’m talking about.)

Can you hear that?  I hear ice cream calling me – and maybe some cake to go with it.  Oh, yes — yet another reason to love this time of year — no one looks at you wierd when you make whole meals off of sweets.
