Current mood: confused
I don't understand. Every year I buy extension cords, it seems and every year I can't find any of them when I'm trying to decorate. Are there relatives of the underpants gnomes that make profit from these cords? Hmmm.

Also, where did the days between Thanksgiving and Christmas go? I just threw out some Thanksgiving leftovers to make room for the Christmas feast. Seems like I was just shopping for Thanksgiving yesterday. Oh, and I still haven't done my Christmas shopping yet. I'll be on my way as soon as the cheesecake comes out of the oven.

Current mood: panicked
OK, I exchange presents with my friends the day after tomorrow and I have no clue as to what to get for any of them. What sucks is I don't have the funds to get them what I really want, either. *sigh*

note to self: Christmas card link

Well, we went gallivanting around in the woods yesterday and came home with our Christmas tree. Pictures of the event are here. They're not in order yet and most don't have captions. I'll get to that later.

I've got lots to write about and absolutely no time to do it. I guess it'll have to wait until tomorrow.

I want to go to the Christkindl Market at the Denver Pavillions. Every year I've wanted to go to this thing and see what it is all about and every year I never go. I must do that this year. Has anybody ever gone to this?

Current mood: excited
For the first time in a looooonnngggg time, I'm actually feeling a bit of Christmas Spirit. Even though I don't have much money this year, I think it's going to be a good holiday season. I'm so excited that I'm actually going to get to decorate this year. It's been so long since I've seen most of my holiday stuff. My stuff is in storage alot closer now than it used to be. When we lived in Byers, my stuff was stored in Bennett (12 miles away). Last year we were in the middle of moving the house and the year before that I was in a funk because I had just graduated from CollegeAmerica was so depressed about the whole experience. I think we only put up a tree that year. So, we're going to cut the tree on Saturday, Dec 13th with Dave, Mike and Nina. That's always fun and pictures will follow.

I only have class one day a week this module and the heavy duty work for this class really begins after the holidays. I forgot that this class requires me to buy a portfolio case, lots of supplies and some outside printing costs that I totally spaced out about. So, this afternoon I'm putting in an application at the Starbuck's where my friend works. I'm going to need more money coming in than I've got now or I won't pass this class. I also need some Christmas cash. It became blatantly obvious yesterday that I'm not going to get more hours at my delivery job. I told my boss at work that I was available anytime for the next 12 weeks and he schedules me two days this week. What the hell? Also, all of a sudden, I'm everyone's confidante. It seems everyone there wants to unload all of their problems on me. Why do they seem to think that I care? I don't want to know all this personal crap about all these people. I don't like any of them and I don't want to know how sick all of their relationships in that store really are. I think I've finally had it.

OK, I'm going to try and upgrade my photo gallery. Wish me luck.
