A Christmas Tree

It's ok if you don't understand why the tree is covered with socks. In fact, it's probably for the best. But I hope that those of you who do get it, enjoy it. It was a very nice tree.

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas, or Channukah, or whatever feasting/gift-giving holiday you prefer. I've been really busy. I'll write something interesting when I get back from Home.
I had leftover chinese food for dinner, BTW.

Insert Whimper Here

I did go shopping yesterday morning. It turned into yesterday afternoon. At the mall. It was very painful, and I can't really talk about it yet. There was one moment, however, that ALMOST made shopping at noon on a saturday three weeks before christmas worthwhile - I found a pair of pants that I DON'T NEED TO SHORTEN.
For real. Honest. Seriously.
There was also a stop at a Borders, which both eased my pain and added half an hour to the time I spent in a mall, so that was a wash, really. Same for the falafel that sort of made its way from the food court to my tummy.
I have now done my part to stimulate the economy.

Stupid Clothes...

I had to wear a skirt to work today. None of my nice pants would stay up without duct tape, which seemed a little low-brow for a client meeting. Although... it was a meeting with other geologists, so it's entirely possible that they wouldn't've noticed.
I suppose I should be glad that all my clothes are too big for me, but I am annoyed at having to spend more money when I just bought new clothes in September.
So. I am going to have to go shopping. What a horrible way to spend a saturday morning.
Stupid clothes.

I'm Still Full

Busy weekend. Busy busy! Tell you all about it soon. Well, soon for me, anyway. For now, you'll have to settle for the what's-for-dinner report.
