WAITING FOR MY CHRISTMAS

I'll have a very Merry Christmas if the motherfucking Cowboys beat them motherfucking Eagles. nuff said.
Babs and I spent Christmas together...I called her up and said come over and I'll make you scrambled eggs and bacon for breakfast. Then we opened our presents. I got her 2 new sleeping pillows and a throw for when she naps on the couch, a mini-chopper, and some other stuff...Her birthday is the 31st and got her one of those fake little fish tank/nightlights, which is cute as I got one for me too. Also got her a kitty cat cookie jar full of oatmea
l/raisin cookies. She got me this beautiful goddess necklace on a cord, which I absolutely love..it's so pretty...and she got me a Tabu set of perfume, powder and lotion, and other stuff. My sister-in-law(X) from first husband, who we have reconnected after 40-plus years send me 2 bottles of Tabu perfume..How she remembered that it was my favorite perfume after all these years, is beyond me. Vicki(Junebugg) sent me a pair of cashmere socks...which makes my feet grin from toe to toe. I got lots of candy, which I don't need and candles which I never have too many of.I have been baking cookies and pies for the manager of the Dollar General since last Christmas, I made her a pecan pie and some chocolate cookies and she got me a Rachael Rae Cookbook and some candy. When I thanked her she said she wanted to get me something because I had touched her heart by doing all the baking for her. Now how sweet was that?..
Babs and I decided instead of having a big turkey dinner, we'd have 'nothing homemade' Christmas...We had ring bologna, rat cheese, crackers, smoked oysters, Vienna sausages with jalapenos, ham, jack cheese, nuts, cold asparagus, etc. just junk...Plus we rented 4 movies..we saw Wanted which was...ok, but not as good as I thought it was supposed to be, The Dark Knight, which was an hour and a half too long and I nearly drove Babs nuts with the sound. The sound editor of that movie needs to have his ass kicked..When it was dialog you couldn't hear them, so I'd crank it up to hear them and then the action would come on and it's so loud the windows were rattling. But Heath Ledger was pretty awesome, and I think he was pretty cranked up ...all that lip licking kind of made me nervous. We checked out Hancock, but didn't watch it..We watched Mama Mia and I don't want to piss anyone off, but next to Forest Gump that was the dumbest movie I ever saw and I hope to never have to sit through anything so mind numbing boring again in my entire life..fuckme, I'll never sing another ABBA song as long as I live.
Tom is gone from the store and I have a new 'part time' store manager..Sharon, who is...very sweet and a hard worker and I enjoy working with her, but she is only going to be here for another week and then I don't know who we'll get. I just do my job and let them sweat all that shit. I had big plans for cleaning house this weekend, and all I did was read..Finished 3 books and took the most of the tensile off the tree and that's about it. Will do some laundry today, but I'm not straining myself. I still haven't put the sewing machine together..no one told me the fuckers were so confusing...It actually comes with a instructional disc to set it up...feck..wonder if anyone has an old fashioned sewing machine they'd like to trade for this new spangled one..???
I went to both $ stores and took advantage of all the after Christmas sales. Bought a bunch of decorations for next year. In case anyone is interested all the Family Dollar stores have all the toys that are $9.99 and over on sale for 40% off. Christmas decorations are 50% off.
There was one bit of interesting news in my DAM paper. Out of New Orleans. A same-sex couple in California has won a federal court ruling that their adopted son's Louisiana birth certificate must bear the names of both adoptive fathers. The facts are so clear that no trial is needed, U.S. District Judge Jay Zainey wrote. Louisiana's Office of Vital Records must give full faith and credit to the New York State court in which Oren Adar and Mickey Ray Smith of San Diego adopted the boy, h ruled Monday. Hey Kevin, wonder if you can go to court and have both your names put on the kids birth certificates too?..
Maybe this will open some doors for you and Ron? That would be terrific.
Well, I have to go do some laundry and roast the turkey and get all ready for the Cowboys game tonight...Cross your fingers for me..'cept for Anne, who is a Eagles fan, so I know she will be sticking pins in a voodoo doll dressed like a Cowboy.
Hope everyone had happy holidays and a wonderful new year.
