I Wasn't Good Enough This Year-- Our Cats Are Crazy... And Happy New Year!
Short version of Christmas at my sister's. Santa came over and I got my pic taken w/him and he asked what I wanted for Christmas. Of course I told him a Lamborghini. Then he asked the dreaded "Were you a good girl this year?" I said "YES! Kinda-sorta..." Needless to say, no Lambo in the driveway Christmas day, so apparently I wasn't good ENOUGH. hmmm... Good thing I bought myself presents because no one else did! 'Cept Todd, but I bought lots for me... I suppose my selfishness puts me on Santa's "Naughty" list.
In other news, my cats have gone insane. We brought them to professional groomers to get the extra fur off them, washed, etc. They came back smelling of whatever they washed them with, and the smell has made them not recognize each other. They have behaved differently than they EVER have. They are hissing at each other, and fighting each other and generally acting weird. They NEVER hissed at each other or fought before. Mr. H. called the groomers this morn., and they said to bathe them again, (which we did), so I guess we do it again. They told it us it wears off after a few days. It better, because the screeching sounds that come from the basement are creepy! And it sucks that they don't cuddle together or eat near each other anymore. So... DON'T HAVE YOUR PET GROOMED PROFESSIONALLY! >-( Hell, we'll end up suing them for kitty psychiatry bills at this rate.
New Years Eve, we're not doing much. Either sitting home or going to my mom's along w/my sis, her hubby and kids and dogs. Probably home. As per usual, I've been illin'. Even all thru Christmas. What has been nice is that Mr. H. is off of work until the 9th. He took off two weeks. w00t! I finally get to see him! :D
HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!!!

Humbugger!
Quickly... I spent two days either @ Fleet Farm, or on the phone w/a kid in automotive who happens to be dumb as a post. They don't KNOW if my tires are there, and my appt. is today. DOH! They transferred me to auto service, (where the people actually have brains), and I was so ticked that I told them I was just speaking w/a guy with, litereally here, "an IQ of -6", and I don't know WTF is going on. I guess I won't until this morning, and my appt. is at 1pm. My mom is coming down from GB, well over 1 hr drive to go out there w/me to leave the car, and I don't even know if the tires are there!
I have a migraine from hell. I'm really sick and going to get off this puter. I'm sitting here in the dark w/sunglasses on. No shit. I can't stand the pain anymore... So it goes... (Yes, I'd like some cheese with my whine... and btw, the biggest cheese-making state is CA!!! Yes! THEY ARE THE CHEESEHEADS!!!) Have a lovely day. >-( ;P

It's Been a While!
I decided to break down this post into four different subjects. (It looks shorter that way!) Well, life here has been... cold. I have been sick for four months and despite antibiotics, have not gotten better, and I have to see the doc again next week. Yippee. I'm OK sometimes part of the day, usually morning, then I'm a corpse from about 4pm on. I figure I have a new strain of both Ebola and Marburg... a strain that lasts MONTHS before it finally up and kills you! So, being feverish and in bed half the time, sweating my brains out at night, etc., everything below has become slightly more annoying than it would have been otherwise. ;P
On Mr. H.'s side of the fam, we decided to play cut-throat for Christmas. FINALLY! If you aren't familiar w/it, you buy ONE gift, suitable to anyone, at a set price limit, and then each person picks a number. Number one chooses any gift from the pile. They get whatever that is. Number two chooses a gift. If they like #1's better, they can "steal" it and give them the one they just opened... all the way down the line. It's obviously best to be last, as you get your choice of any of the presents. Finally we don't have to buy for EVERYONE! We just can't afford that anymore! I bought a board game called "Disorderly Conduct". It's similar to trivial pursuit, except all the questions are on various types of law from different states, and federal law, all including precedents, etc. The first one back to the Courthouse wins. Honestly, I wouldn't mind getting my own gift. heheheheh!
Something is wrong w/my blogger. There is no time on here (on the posting page), and where I'm composing is the "edit html" page. Well, maybe Milo can deal with that as well. (I do pity him.) For more on that subject, see the last post today.

The Debacle that is Christmas Decorating...
I never thought I would see the day... the day when I would see an outdoor display of Christmas lights more aesthetically hideous than one I had seen previously. Unfortunately, the first was at OUR home when I was in HS. My father didn't seem to want to deal with the decorating thing. On one side of an inset front doorway, we had a tall evergreen, (with a tall one on the other side). Next to the first evergreen, we had a row of pine-type bushes that went across the entire front of the house. My mother and I had gone out shopping and were returning after dark. Now you have to realize our home was on a curve. If you kept driving straight, you'd hit it... So EVERYONE could see this. As my mom and I came around the corner, we saw... A CHECK MARK!!! He put one strand over the taller pine and dragged it across the bushes!!! AAAAACK! If we weren't laughing so hard, we probably would have been pissed. He refused to redo any of it, so there it stayed all season.
You would think it wouldn't get worse than that... WRONG!!! THIS YEAR Mr. H. was going to put up some swag Christmas lights that my mother bought from Target. (That's probably half the prob. You get what you pay for.) You see, here, if you don't buy your decorations in July, nothing is left. Anyhoo, while I was at my mom's for a few days (yes... doc appts. *rolls eyes*), he put them up. We arrived home at night with the lights lit. ONLY A MAN WOULD LIGHT SUCH A VISUAL ATROCITY!!!! I think I screamed! These lights weren't swagging, half were unlit, they were tangled and all different lengths! However, HE LIT THEM ANYWAY!!! The first thing I did was RUN to the outlet and unplug them, and when he got back, asked him wtf possessed him to TURN THEM ON!! Anyhoo... We don't light them and they're coming down. No lights to be found anywhere, so there is just a lit up wreath in the window. So it goes.
My fav outdoor decorated "stump like leftover of a tree" was at Mr. H.'s parents' where we were staying while they were in FL for 3 months. I came up w/this great idea of pounding nails in it, and hooking up colored lights, and so we did... kept them lit for three months actually. Well, it turned out that it looked like a 20 foot tall giant... ummmm... "Freudian thing", let's say. ROTF! I have pics of it. His dad was furious when they got back, however, not for the reason you'd think, but because we used up all that electricity! Oh hell, I'll just spit it out: It looked like a 20+ foot tall multi-color lit up dick! hahahahahahahaa! We loved it! *ahem*
INDOOR DECORATING: I did it yesterday morn. All the boxes were STILL covered with concrete dust from two years ago, despite cleaning them multiple times. It all turned out pretty well, other than when I superglued my fingers to the glue bottle. :-/ I guess it's better than lighting my hair on fire and yes I've done that twice. Oh, slightly off the subject, I also burnt out our paper shreader... stinky motor! >-(

~Kick Ass Flavor (and pain for wusses!)~
I thought I had eaten the hottest food that existed, having eaten habaneros. WRONG! Mr. H. and I decided to have some egg rolls last night and he bought some wasabe imported from Japan. It burned our noses! (Good for me... seemed to help my sinuses.) Mr. H. tried it first and yelled "HEAD RUSH"! Then I tried it. Most definitely hotter than anything else I've ever eaten. Most EXCELLENT, however! The hottness didn't ruin the flavor. It comes in a tube like toothpaste. "Fool your friends!" hahahahaha!!!

Poor Milo...
My puter is a debacle. I d/l'd some programs that showed me I had all this shit in it (trojans), that Nortons couldn't catch. Then I d/l'd Ethereal... 50GB or something? I don't know how to use it. I ran it for about 12 hours? Loads of data... don't know what it means. It took about 5 minutes to close the window. *shakes head* Now I've found a bunch of weirdo programs--executables. I've been corresponding w/Milo all week and it's still a disaster (human error, no doubt). Maybe it's another 'geist and I need an exorcist. Either way, Milo is soooo going to regret giving me his phone #! I, the "less than a layperson", have to call him. We can't figure it out. Poor Milo!!! :P
