Christmas, She’s-a Here!
Posted by Enric Darkstone on December 19, 2008
Well, looks like snow’s-a comin’. It hasn’t started to fall yet, but it’s due any time now. Skilling took a little jab at other weather persons and said “If you were expecting the snow to mess up rush hour on your way home today, you didn’t watch our program because this snow is moving right along schedule.” You tell em Tommy, friggin’ weekend weather men ain’t got the cahones to tell it like it is, you tell em Tom!
Then he showed the map of what’s expected, and he paused it during the morning rush hour and said “And this here is…well this is just a mess” with such a straight face and professionalism that it made me laugh just typing about it. But that’s enough about The Weatherman for one night.
After hearing his predictions for the night I, for some reason thought about decorating outside with lights. Be it the fresh snow to get me in the Christmas season, or lack of fresh air getting to my brain due to all this central heating as it’s some 10 degrees outside, I was on a mission. So I sent my Dad outside to get the lights. (It’s cold out there!)
So now I sit and wait. Can’t do the lights yet as I got a plan for them that involves the supposed foot of snow we are expecting here. Hopefully it’s not the wet and heavy snow, but just snow, then ice after it falls as that would be excellent for what I have in mind. Just gotta wait a few more hours for it to be about half done falling…
As for crafts, I made my girl friend’s friend and ex-boss a shrinky dink key chain. Thought of and completed it in under two hours. I did plan on making him something, especially after his fiancee’ got all druggy emo on my girl friend a few days ago. (“I’m not addicted to drugs! I just smoke pot!” Well if that isn’t sound logic…) Start out as a shrinky dink key chain but the hole I made ended up being a smidgin too small and my girl friend ended up breaking it while trying to take it off the chain itself. So I turned it into a coin.
As for the rest of the crafts…eh. Time is running low, methinks some gifts will be belated. I finished the main gift I had planned for awhile now for my little lady, but I had another planned that might have to wait for her birthday in February. I feel like I could have done so much more for people this year, bah. Probably need to do one final round of gifts before wrapping time. If I can afford it anyway.
