what a nice change to work somewhere that actually slows down around the holidays.
------------------
i went to my first office holiday party. despite the fact that everyone was in a good mood and on their best behavior, steve's first impressions of my coworkers were still amazingly accurate. you can't hide your true nature. now steve can't stop talking about how he got to meet the most magnificent asshole.
------------------
we drove to connecticut for christmas,
14 hours each way,
in holiday traffic,
with zoe.
we are never doing that again. fuck everybody. next year we're going to hawaii.
but at least i got to eat at Sunflower twice, once on the way up, again on the way back. nothing like the Songbird and cold basil rolls to make a shitty day tolerable. huzzah for fake meat and restaurants that don't close for jesus.
------------------
loot:
birds on plexiglass
digital camera
microwave
penguin clock
Ann Taylor Loft gift cards
HP & the Order of the Phoenix
Superbad
Planet Terror
I Am America (And So Can You!)
my gifts to steve:
a plush rockhopper that will be fitted with headphones so it can be the Rockhopper Audio mascot
Buffy the Vampire Slayer, the complete series
maybe not quite as awesome as birds on plexiglass, but the Slayer Box definitely secured my status as kick-ass wife.
------------------
i needed a vacation from my vacation, so i spent the weekend in franklin with mikl, catherine, kate & kathleen. good friends, good conversation, good spaghetti, board games, silly pictures, Superbad 2-disk special edition and morning coffee outside on the deck. anyone with photos, please send them my way. i need pics of my posse.
------------------
more later, when i have the energy to edit & post pictures.
