Merry Christmas mes amies!

Well I am loving my gifts so far, which include a flip video and a ca-ute dress. Mr. SLS also got me another iTrip for my car, which is a standing joke between us because he has had to buy me one for every year we’ve been together because I keep tearing them up. Meanwhile he’s had the same one pretty much the whole time.

What’s really funny is I said we should get my mom a new phone for her house cause I swear every-damn-time I call her that phone is crackling or about to die or something. Well, apparently me, my brother AND her boyfriend all were disgusted with that phone and all got her the same thing. She laughed and laughed and laughed. We’ll take ours back and get her this book she wants and some other things.

I baked two pumpkin pies last night with my gingersnap and walnut crust and topped with my homemade cranberry sauce. I also got my sweet potato souffle ready so I could pop it into the oven this a.m. after putting the topping on it (I used crushed pecans, crushed cinnamon cookies, light brown sugar, butter and a little flour for the topping) and in a bit I’ll make the oyster stuffing. We’re going to Mr. SLS’ brother’s house and it will be fun to watch the kids open their presents.

All in all, not a bad morning. Hope yours is as lovely and that you are sharing it with your loved ones.

Our Internet is out…

And I haven’t been able to post. BlackBerry is problematic for posting and I try not to blog at work so I’m in a blog bind.

But I can still read so I’m following you guys even if I can’t post much.

Thoughts while under the hairdryer…

I don’t really like this BlackBerry, I want an iPhonem

I can’t even see what I’m typing on this damn thing. I could see on an iPhone

Sigh…what is wrong with people?!

Take the time to read this post by Rippa: THE INTERSECTION OF MADNESS AND REALITY: Women Raped In The Military? Nope, That Never Happens!!

I didn’t know about the case he describes here, but it’s horrifying.

Shaking it up!!

This week has been interesting: I was contacted by two reporters who wanted to interview me for stories they were working on (I did it for one, but had to pass on the other because it was a little too close to my own bread and butter) and another writing opportunity presented itself to me via my friend Shades of Reality. I am very excited about the latter as it’s such a good fit with my interests. Here’s hoping it works out.

My friend just got laid off

We have worked together for the past three years for two different employers. There was no warning and I feel like I should do SOMETHING but don't know what that something is to do….

Reasons why I won’t/don’t read your blog

New conversation thread

I took my car to the body shop Wednesday and they are going to make my baby beautiful again, restoring her to darn near brand new condition.

But in the interim, I’m driving this rental car:

Now, I like cars. I like the way they sound and handle and drive and look. My husband could care less about a vehicle as long as it cranks up and gets him from point A to Z. I, on the other hand, need more from my car owning/driving experience.

I don’t like this rental car. It’s too big. It has four doors. It has automatic transmission. It’s ugly. And I had to put a pillow under me so I could reach the accelerator and brake. Yeah, I’m that short.

I don’t like cars with four doors cause I ain’t no taxi driver. I only need room in my car for my purse and my man. Yeah, I’m cute like that.

I hate automatic transmission because you turn over the decision-making to the car. I want to DRIVE my car, not ride in it. Yeah, I’m a bad azz chick, too.

On Monday I will reunite with my ride. The weather will be nice so I’ll put the top back. Be off the road.
