Sorry no posts lately. Just not in the mood. I've been on the depressed side lately. I can't shake this cough I've got. Working around flour only makes it worse. When I finally get home from work, all I want to do is chug some cough syrup and go to bed. I haven't even felt like updating the blog template. I can't come to grips with the fact that Cristmas is a little over a week away. The tree we cut last Saturday is still in a pail of water in the kitchen. *sigh*

Current mood: exhausted
Just got back from Christmas tree cutting. I'm so tired. Will write about it all tomorrow. Zzzzzzzzzz

Oh, I almost forgot. It's Pearl Harbor Day. Actually, it's the 60th anniversary of the bombing. Thanks to all the veterans who have served to keep our country free!

Current mood: sick
I've been fighting with a full-blown sickness for some time, but I think it's winning. I'm coughing really bad and it sounds like I'm hacking up a lung. Ick! I've had a really bad sinus headache ever since before I woke up this morning. I don't need this right now, I'm supposed to be tramping around in the woods looking for a Christmas tree tomorrow.

I've decided I really hate most people who stock shelves in stores. I used to be a merchandiser at AutoZone. I know that it's hard to know when to order for the holes when dumbass stockers fill holes with the wrong product. Case in point: I really like using No Drowsiness Allerest for my allergies. I can only find one store (an Albertson's) anywhere in Denver that still stocks it. Well, I go there after work today to arm myself with this rare drug before my mountain outing tomorrow only to find the spot where it is supposed to be filled with the product next to it. ARGH! ASSHOLES! Is it so hard to read the tags and realize it's not the right product? Losers!

Oh, well. I'm going to bed.

Current mood: depressed
The one thing I really hate about Christmas is that I never have the money to get the things I REALLY want to get for my friends and family. I always feel like I have to "settle" on whatever it is that I purchase. I'm sure the gifts I give are appreciated, I just have having to live within a small budget. The other thing I hate is when I decide on a particular gift for someone, it's all over when I don't have the money to get it, but as soon as I have the money, the item is nowhere to be found (even on the internet). I can't win.

I found all sorts of things today that I want. Damn. I did buy myself a cute little German Santa at Sears. Maybe I'll post a picture of him tomorrow. He's sooooooo cute!

I helped Dad get his internet connection reconfigured Tuesday after AT&T got him on their new network. Yay! It was weird, though. The cable modem's lights came on while I was visiting. They couldn't have timed it better because there is no way I could've talked poor dad though that over the phone.

Unfortunatley, I have to go to bed now. I've got to do two day's worth of dough at both stores tomorrow so I can take Saturday off to go tree cutting. Goodnight.
