I wish each of you a happy and prosperous 2008

Be safe tonight!

Two posts in one day?

Why yes!

I’m sick. The kind of sick that you can’t lay down and escape into sweet slumber because both nostrils immediately fill with snot and you suddenly stop breathing (which is never a good thing). And it’s the kind of sick that no matter how hard you blow nothing in your schnoz moves but your eye feels like it’s going to shoot out of your head, fly across the room and stick to the wall. The only option is to remain in your full upright position and secure your fucking tray table because it’s going to be a long night.

I figured since I’m miserable then I should come here and bitch about it….classy eh?

Anyway, moving on to more pleasant things — like bringing luck into my life for 2008. I was sitting at my funky old desk at my shiny new job when the lady in the half-cubie next to me asked if I had my peas ready for New Year’s Day. I looked at her a little odd and she proceeded to whip out a little packet with 12 uncooked black eyed peas from her purse.

I guess her family has a tradition of every New Years they make these little packets, one pea for each month and on New Year’s Day puts it in their purse for good luck. She said they also ensure that my purse will never want for money. Beings that our financial situation blows goats this year I’m willing to try anything to make sure ’08 doesn’t follow suit. So tomorrow when we go grocery shopping I’ll be purchasing said peas and will make my groovy little pea packet!

Do you have any weird New Year’s Day traditions for good luck?

Christmas was awesome this year — I hope it went just as well for you

I made out like a thief…the two main biggest greatest gifts I received were a Roomba and an RC car (veerrrry fun!).

Roomba kicks ass, my floors are dirt and dust free (and the cat is terrified).

RC Car is super fun…

I’m still trying to get the house cleaned up from the party so while I go back to washing clothes and cleaning the bathroom check out the pictures of the festivities here

Join me tonight as Momma Bug and I team up to give you the ultimate Buggy listening experience!!

Errr…

Or we’ll just play some damn good music

See ya there!

Got a new job, started today! It’s already proving to be a helluva lot better than my last one even with the cut in pay so I’m a happy camper! It’s working for the one of the utility companies as a construction representative — super simple work thus far

In other news The Hotness and I have decided to just be low-key this Christmas with gift giving which means about 80% of the gifts we’d usually give aren’t being purchased. I’m sure someone will bitch but I don’t care.

We finally managed to get the pictures from the step-daughter’s wedding ceremony ordered last week and they arrived yesterday — super fucking awesome looking might I add! I’ll try and get some loaded up on here for y’alls viewing pleasure.

Annnnd, we got new pillows tonight — down ones…I hope they’re comfy since I’ve never owned down stuff before.

Ok this post was dumb, sorry
