Wow, I actually slept almost 12 hours last night. I probably would've slept longer had Marcus' alarm not gone off. I thought maybe I had missed the iPod contest on KOSI, but I hadn't. I still didn't win it though. DAMN!
So, tomorrow is the big Christmas Tree Hunt. Should be fun. There are pictures of previous excursions
here,
here and
here! The only bad part is that I have to do two days' worth of dough this afternoon so that I can go. Ugh! Not looking forward to that.
When Marcus and I put up the
outside lights last weekend, he accidentally broke the light where I had some of them plugged in. I was looking at it a couple of days ago to see if it could be repaired. It can't because it's really cheap plastic. I had to leave it alone because there were tons of paper wasps hanging around and one even was trying to get into the fixture. I'm really beginning to find these types of wasps to be the bane of my existance. I knew I had to get it repaired so that I could turn my lights on, so yesterday I purchased a replacement light at Home Depost ($3, put it on my HD charge). It was rather cold and windy yesterday, so there were no wasps about. Now I know why. After finding the right breaker in the fuse box and taking the screw out that held the old fixture on, many wasps came pouring out from behind the fixture. I grabbed the wasp spray, but being allergic to wasp stings, I couldn't bring myself to get close enough to spray. So, I asked Marcus to do it before he left for work this morning. Luckily, they hadn't had time to actually build a nest in there yet, so I'm hoping more don't come back before I can get the new one up. That'll be on the agenda when it warms up a little.
OK, I'd better get going. Got to get the house cleaned up and get some of the Christmas stuff up so there'll be room to work on the tree tomorrow. Everybody have a great day!

Sorry about the lack of real posts the last two weeks. I've been in one of my funks. Anyway, I just finished writing five essays today for my class this evening. I don't think I've been so happy to be done with something I didn't want to do in a really long time. I didn't get much out of this class. It's my own fault, not the teacher's. I just have not been in a school frame of mind. I didn't do most of the workbook homework and my essays are not my best writing. I actually had a quiz a couple of weeks ago where I got several answers wrong. That's just not me. I'll be lucky if I pull a B out of this one, I think. That'll be the first B I've had in ages. Oh, well. Thankfully, tonight is the last night of this class.
I've been working on my Expression Engine template, so that should go live this weekend sometime. I finally had to close comments on all my old posts here because the spam was so out of control.
We're going to go get our Christmas tree on Saturday. I had really hoped to be working by then, but I'm such a loser that nobody'll hire me for even a cashier job. *sigh* I'll be posting more of my stuff on eBay tomorrow. There are rumors at work that there might not be bonuses this year. I hope they're false, or nobody's getting presents this year.
Anyway, I've got to get off to school.

Joke heard on Rush Limbaugh show 12/3 (guest host Roger Hedgecock):
The flood of American liberals sneaking across the border into Canada Has intensified in the past week, sparking calls for increased patrols to stop the illegal immigration.
The re-election of President Bush is prompting the exodus among Left leaning citizens who fear they?ll soon be required to hunt, pray and agree with Bill O? Reilly.
Canadian border farmers say its not uncommon to see dozens of sociology professors, animal rights activists and Unitarians crossing their fields at night.
I went out to milk the cows the other day, and there was a Hollywood producer huddled in the barn,? said Manitoba farmer Red Greenfield, whose acreage borders North Dakota. The producer was cold, exhausted and hungry. He asked me if I could spare a latte and some free-range chicken. When I said I didn?t have any, he left. Didn?t even get a chance to show him my screenplay, eh??
In an effort to stop the illegal aliens, Greenfield erected higher fences but the liberals scaled them. So he tried installing speakers that blare Rush Limbaugh across the fields.
Not real effective,? he said. The liberals still got through, and Rush annoyed the cows so much they wouldn?t give milk.?
Officials are particularly concerned about smugglers who meet liberals Near the Canadian border, pack them into Volvo station wagons, drive them across the border and leave them to fend for themselves.
A lot of these people are not prepared for rugged conditions,? an Ontario border patrolman said. I found one carload without a drop of drinking water. They did have a nice little Napa Valley cabernet, though.?
When liberals are caught, they?re sent back across the border, often Wailing loudly that they fear retribution from conservatives. Rumors have been circulating about the Bush administration establishing re-education camps in which liberals will be forced to drink domestic beer and watch NASCAR.
In the days since the election, liberals have turned to sometimes ingenious ways of crossing the border.
Some have taken to posing as senior citizens on bus trips to buy cheap Canadian prescription drugs. After catching a half-dozen young vegans disguised in powdered wigs, Canadian immigration authorities began stopping buses and quizzing the supposed senior-citizen passengers.
If they can?t identify the accordion player on The Lawrence Welk Show, We get suspicious about their age,? an official said.
Canadian citizens have complained that the illegal immigrants are Creating an organic-broccoli shortage and renting all the good Susan Sarandon movies.
I feel sorry for American liberals, but the Canadian economy just cant support them,? an Ottawa resident said. How many art-history majors does one country need??
In an effort to ease tensions between the United States and Canada, Vice President Dick Cheney met with the Canadian ambassador and pledged that the administration would take steps to reassure liberals, a source close to Cheney said.
We?re going to have some Peter, Paul & Mary concerts. And we might put some endangered species on postage stamps. The president is determined to reach out.?

One saggy boob said to the other saggy boob:
"If we don't get some support soon, people will think we're nuts."
"Life is all about ass:
you're either covering it,
laughing it off,
kicking it,
kissing it,
busting it,
trying to get a piece of it,
or behaving like one."
*sorry about all the jokes, I'm cleaning out my email.

Day by Day cartoon is back as of today. Check out the strip at the bottom of the page!
