Man, my boss was not happy that the weekend manager had me working. Oh,well. So much for putting in extra hours. Really got to get another part time job or there will be no Christmas again this year.

Speaking of Christmas, have you seen some of the butt ugly trees this year? I saw one at Michael's the other day that was made out of pink feathers. There's a picture over there on the left. There were some at home depot today that were purple tinsel or something. Ewww. They hade some ugly Winnie the Pooh and Cinderella ones, too. Can you say tacky?

Home Depot did have a cool decoration I wish I could purchase, but it cost $50. It's one of those old fashioned looking street lamps that had a banner holder on it. It was really neat. It probably won't exist when I have money again.

I am freezing today. I'm sitting here with my coat on and my shoes still on and I am so cold. My hands feel like ice. I hate it when I get like this.

This one time, at band camp...no, seriously, I did go to band camp and was even a counselor for a few summers. One of the things that I used to love about our camp was the recreation building that had several Table Tennis and pool tables. Everybody wanted to use them and we would wait in line for our turn. It always amazed me how competitive you could get with someone else over paddles and a small plastic ball. Even the camp director couldn't resist squaring off against some of the campers! I had gotten to a point where I was actually quite good at it. Growing up, our family couldn't afford to get a real table. We tried to make one on our dining room table when I was in high school (mom bought a cheap kit), but it wasn't the same as playing on a regulation table.

It had totally slipped my mind how much I enjoyed playing and how I had promised myself that when I was an adult I would get myself a table until I saw Weird Al playing Table Tennis in his "White and Nerdy" video. Marcus and I had planned on getting a pool table once we get this house on a basement foundation, but I'm thinking we should get a Table Tennis table, too.
