Apparently begging for money is now trendy while waiting in the drive thru at tim hortons…what I found really interesting, is I refused, moved up two car lengths and the guy came back to ask me again, forgetting I had already said no…..get a JOB people, I mean how low is low to beg for money from drivers in a coffee drive thru…..seen it all now...
I can't WAIT to get the christmas decorations down..funny how when you put them up, it's a rush and want to get THAT done, but then when the holidays are over, I cant' WAIT for order back in my home.........................
I never make resolutions as a rule, but this year, I have an exception that is as follows........I am NOT wasting time on people that don’t make an effort with me…an example of this is as follows.........IF you want to talk to me, call me, and vice versa.....but I’m not chasing people down anymore......if I call and leave and message for you to call me and you don’t call me back, tough.......I’m not chasing anymore, same with email......if you are too childish to tell me if you’re not returning my calls/emails, etc, for a reason, tough shit, I aint biting to indulge in your drama......if you don’t want to talk to me, don’t, but don’t use “well you haven’t called me or you haven’t emailed me” as a reason, for the phone/email, etc works two ways…..people are going to GET what they GIVE from now on.......period.
Furthermore, I'm not dealing with people who believe they have a separate set of life rules for themselves that permit them to have to some life rules (ie returning calls, being considerate, etc) not apply to them but then bitch to me for not being accessible when THEY have time for me..........if you can't follow the simple life rules yourself, dont expect everyone else to follow them for the sake of YOUR needs.....bugger off.
One more addition to those above thoughts.........Do as I SAY, dont DO as I DO doesn't fly with me anymore......lifes too short to waste time on people who dont GET that...
The boss....he's ok.....getting a little better, albeit still doesnt' understand what personal space is......also I have noticed that he THINKS he is far smarter than he IS.......for this reason alone, I can't wait till the owners get back....should be interesting.....also I have finally figured out how to describe how he talks to everyone....he's like the guidance counsellor on South Park "Mmmmmmm'K follows EVERY sentance.....he needs a smack.........................
Happy friday to everyone!

Reflections
Im back....at least....today anyway..I can't predict the future, I'm sure that I'll be posting a little more frequently now that the holidays are slowly winding down.
So, Christmas.
Well typically it is my FAVE time of year. I must admit, if there wasn't this awesome six year old in the house, the magic would not be there for me. That's sad isn't it..when he magicallness of something dies down as you get older. i'm glad we have tonio to share it with tho...because that way, the magic stays.
Christmas eve found us at my inlaws, where we had all seafood. Anyone that knows me knows I'm allergic, but it's cool, my mother in law always makes something special so that I dont have to eat fish. Which is a good thing, cause to sit and watch everyone else eat, yeah well that would truly suck. We got home fairly early, watched some tv, some Christmas programs with tonio and then off to bed he went, while the elves in the house (mom and dad) got things ready for Christmas morning. By the time we got things finished, it was pretty late, but for some reason lately tonio has been sleeping in so we weren't too worried about how late it was when we finally fell asleep.
Christmas morning..typically my favorite day of the year...and my stocking is my fave gift to open. Always.
Tonio had us up around 8:30 which for a kid on Christmas morning is GREAT. Stockings were opened, coffee was made and then we settled down into our family routine of opening presents, oooo'ing and ahhhhh'ing over what we got, what Santa treasures we found...it was a very nice morning......but alas, to lay around and relax was not going to be the call for the rest of the day. Eight people coming for dinner had me quite busy, preparing my15 lb. turkey, my mother in law made home made lasagna, homemade soup and we had all the fixings for a traditional turkey dinner as well. Yes, I am still full from that meal. But it was great, with my dad and stepmom going to Florida for the next three months, I was happy to share Christmas with them.
Boxing day the rest of my family generally comes over. Another 12 people in the house again, eating finger foods, opening presents, it was great fun. My mother, who typically comes alone as my step father is quite anti-social, asked early on in the day if she could stay overnight. Fine with me, but for most of the party I speculated on the reason. I was to find out later that my step father was on a bender and her going home was not something she was willing to do right away after leaving to come to my house. A long drive that night to see the Christmas lights and a long talk to accompany it had me finding out that he had been drinking for several days, pretty much ruining her Christmas. And that sucks. It's been hanging on me since, the worry, the fear if she is ok, for drunk, he is a violent man. So why does she stay? If you could answer that, you'd be ahead of me, for I dont know the answer, and havent for 18 years.
It's a friends hubbies bday today so last night she had a party for him. It was great fun, laughing and joking around with the friends I hold dear to my heart. I had a great time, but had to attend alone as hubbie threw his back out earlier in the day. But that was ok, I didn't stay late but had a great time hanging out and it was a good way to end the week.
So Christmas for me this year? Well it started out good, the anticipation the excitement of Christmas, but now, today, on New years Eve, I'm reflective and anxious to get the new year started. For my holidays have shadowed with worry and such a down note the last few days in the background of me worrying about my mom that tonight, we're just playing it low key. Invited to a few parties, we have chosen to stay home, make homemade pizza, watch a few of tonio's fave movies and stay mellow. New years doesn't hold the appeal it did in my youth and frankly, I dont have the energy today to deal with another party. And no resolutions...I dont believe in them. If you are going to make changes, make them, why use new years as a reason to do it....
Huggs and warm thoughts to all of you for 2007..I hope your holidays and family time have been fun............pics to follow in the new year....
