I am a little update

X-mas: Denver was great and even more so 'cause I had J to lug around with me. You know all those movies where the guy meets the girl's parents and it's all crazy awkward and things catch on fire and cats die and stuff? This was like the exact opposite. (Unless you count marshmallows that we were roasting on our Hanukkah-gift s'more kit catching on fire, but that would be way out of context). Turns out J hanging around makes my family great. He's like some anti-crazy glue that makes everyone real nice and eager to bake and drive and buy and chit chat and be nice. Really. Good times. Also: babies. SO MANY BABIES! I got a little baby fever and told Willow, who responded with: "All I have to say is: strollers on the subway." I said, "Oh I know, I'm not really--" "Liz! Strollers on the subway." It's like backup birth control.

New Year's: Krista pulled out a sparkly little number and thought we should all completely overdress for the night, which I thought was a stellar idea. J also did because he has a tux he bought for when he escorted Willow to the Miss Mayo pageant and wearing it one more time would make it worth buying. So the three of us were super glammed up and, after consuming lots of vodka and the sneaky little "we're innocent glasses of champagne meant only for fun not for drunk, really, just drink us up like a liquid party, there ya go", we headed to the local bar and stumbled around there to ring in the new year. My snazzy dress made J a little excited to head home, but by that time the cute champagne bunnies had turned into crazed bunny-giants with razor teeth and steel claws stomping around on the polite little vodka squirrels. I shoved toast and water in my face, watched some TV, and hit the hay. The next morning (as I just relayed to Alicia) I woke up with a hangover and J, Krista, and I went to go find breakfast, but every diner had a huge long huge 45 minute huge wait and we were HUNGRY! So we made breakfast: french toast, chocolate croissants, omelettes, bacon ( or as we like to call the morningstar stuff: fakon), orange juice, coffee, biscuits, and brownies. Ok, we got a little carried away, but crissake happy new year!

After new year: lots of sleeping in and staying up late and generally fucking up our chances of getting back on a normal sleep schedule with any amount of ease. We discovered a channel that only plays Law and Order SVU, which is great. Until you get the third show in a row about child molestation, then you want to kill yourself a little bit. J decided that everything is a whole lot funnier if you add a thuggy "Cracker." after everything Ice-T says to a white person. Hell, it's even funny if he says it to a non-white person. Try it, you'll laugh. We also did a puzzle, which literally stole hours from my life. I would sit down, twiddle with a couple pieces, look up, and it would be 3 HOURS LATER. Amazing.

Now: Back to the ol' work. But it's different now that I like my job. It actually feels kinda good to be here. Now, if we could just get the work day started a little later, like say 2pm, I think I might be good for the rest of my life.
