Pointless Announcements

OMG McDonald's delivers now in Bucharest! Not in my area, that's true, but still. Pretty cool.

Work tomorrow. Waaaaah!

Lucy is crawling heaps now.

Jeeze, what did I miss.

Off to vote and then to the Christmas market!

Hahahaha.

I want to make a cop show called The Cooler. It's set in a fridge. The main characters are food items.

"Who keeps drinking Lieutenant Twopercent?? Probably those Frost Force Five assholes."

Least he didn't buy a turtleneck.

I was gonna say "Turtlenecks aren't gay!" but, yeah, they kinda are.

Oh, and Pointless Announcement. I'm swinging into a manic phase and am no longer responsible for anything.

Wish me luck.

He has already been and had xrays and everything. If it doesn't improve I will make him go again, I spent a bunch of time looking up how to help a bad sprain heal last night. Of all the times I have sprained my own ankles I've never bothered before. But I think I found a bunch of useful information.

It freaks me out so bad when things like this happen. When he gets injured. I always have this sort of side background fear in my brain of something happening and then when it does it is just fuck fuck fuck fuck. It freaks me out when a coworker is injured too.

I know it is going to happen, with working with power tools everyday and huge beams and climbing rafters and all those things. He has shot himself with a nail gun three times over the years and had accidents with box knives and saws. (he caught his thumb of the blade of the skill saw just this past year) I'm always afraid he is going to fall from too high and break his neck or have a serious accident with a tool. uhg.

I'm annoyed with him and his company too, the job he was doing when it happened was a two man job but he was there alone and he decided to just do it and then he fell. Someone else should have been sent out or he should have waited until another tradesman showed up just for safety sake to have someone else there.

I really think there should always be at least two men on a job. There are accidents that could happen so fast and be life threatening as soon as they happen.

I voted for our Parliament and then went to the Christmas Market with my parents and drank mulled wine and it was wonderful and when we were going back home it started snowing and it's awesome even though it's freezing outside and my toes are still cold.

I'm changing my life insurance policy to MetLife so a rep has to come out and take blood to make sure I'm not really a coke head. Why must I be incovenienced? They should just believe me since I'm paying a premium.

Lights: Hung.

Half of them did not work when we plugged it all in, even though we were meticulous to make sure the whole thing was on a proper circuit where everything should light up and nearly all of the lights are new.

WTF?

I'm having a National Lampoons Christmas. I swear.

Trying to decide if it is better for James to claim workmans compensation until he can go back or cash in his vacation hours.

Or, more accurately, he thinks he should take his accrued vacation hours as our expenses are rather high in December (with two boys birthdays and Christmas for all the kids) and that he will be able to go back to work in a few days and I think he should just file a workmans comp claim (which only pay a little over half, or maybe two thirds) and him and I can just accept and live without any fancy gifts for each other for Christmas and stay in for our anniversary (new years eve) if necessary, if it ends up he needs more than this next week.

blah.

he is beating himself up emotionally about this all so much. Trying to hide it but I can see it clearly, beacuse you can't fool someone who knows you.

Awww, man, I hate that y'all are even having to make this kind of decision this month. That sucks.

Sucks Balls.

Terrible timing!

Silly bloke.

I'm getting my hair cut next week, but once again I don't know what to do with it!

I want long hair, but getting there is such a boring process, and I'm not a fan of the inbetween length. Short is fun, but it's quite demanding.

I better go check out hairstyles online.

Holy shit... The things I can do when I've had a few days of good, real food. I drove three hours back from Houston yesterday and as soon as I got back, I went to tutor my friend for the Calculus final he's taking right now. Before I knew it, I'd tutored him for 14 straight hours, and I enjoyed it. I haven't taken Calculus in 3 years, and she still gives me a raging brainer.

I've been growing all this facial hair and my girlfriend is the manager at Claire's now so my ears are pierced so she could get certified. You wouldn't recognize me anymore. An eight year old at church yesterday told me i look completely different. Then these ten year olds said they're getting tattoos and getting their ears pierced too.

I was missing long hair recently but it takes ages to wash and dry it every day and I don't miss the tangles either. I'm staying short for a while longer but I think I'll dye it at the end of the week because it looks so meh like it is. Gonna go a nice chesnut brown.

I just reached up to scratch an itch on my ear except it wasn't an itch, it was the earring, which i pulled on nicely. Now the whole side of my head hurts.

I spent a lot of time this weekend playing Dead Island while watching;The Island of Doctor Moreau, Return of the living dead 3, and some other shit movie. Went to a show. Came to an understanding with the girl(I think).
Drank to much, and spent to much money on said drinks. Flirted with a few girls. Got my bed back.

Oh I also realized I bitch way to much without putting out enough effort to make and changes. TIME TO CHANGE THAT SHIT.

...I just cried a tear of PBR for the loss of such an amazing place. Can we travel back in time so I can see cute half naked punk girls. I love half naked punk girls.

Why don't you marry her.

Way too much school work to do before christmas break. I have five different projects going right now and I'm feeling fairly creatively spent.

She thinks it's kinda creepy that I have her dad's name.

I was just thinking that there used to be regular new pictures of me but now there isn't. Maybe once every two months or so, somebody will take my picture and tag me in it or something. Maybe i should just get out more.

I don't care what everyone else says... you are delightful.

My mom called and told me she was going through some old things and found this awesome coupon book filled with coupons with no expiration date... redeemable at the nearest James&Amber Outlet Center.

Apparently we made it and gave it to her for Christmas of 1997. (Only Christmas James was lived at my moms house before I moved out)

It has all the typical stuff,

Wash Dishes
Mow yard
Clean whole house five star job
Cook Dinner
Neck Massage
Babysit

But it is also filled with gems such as:

Get The Hell Out Of My Space
Go To Your Damn Room For The Night
One kiss From Amber or a Hug from Both of Us
Slap Your Spouse (so she can make us beat each other up?)

...

She is very insistent that

There Is No Expiration Date

and sounds hysterically pleased at the idea and prospect of using these things on us... fifteen years later.

That's awesome that she held on to something like that....very cute.

I wish I cold remember whatever the joke was we were all having that prompted the Slap Your Spouse coupon.

You make me smile Amber.

I got these gingerbread cookies at work today, as a Christmas calendar gift!

It's a tradition here. Everyone buys a little gift, and everyone randomly receives one of these gifts during this month.

Want!

I'll post the Christmas cards today and get mulled wine before class. And I'll get the bigger one (400 ml).

I also hope he apologises for lurking here.

Pepper, I might have to steal that idea. It's genius.
I'm totally giving a coupon book to my brother, with a lot of Walk The Dog and Dog Sit coupons added.
I'm only gifting close family. We are so broke.

I usually only give gifts to the people I am going to see on Christmas, Sema. And then a couple select friends that are special enough that it doesn't matter if I am broke or if I am going to actually see them on Christmas or not, they are getting gifts from me!

I have one friend who has no family at all besides her children so we (all her friends) are her family and she gets very excited about randomly showing up all over town gifting her friends in the days leading up to Christmas. She is special. She gets a gift.

Amber, that's very nice. You got the spirit. That's what Christmas is all about!

I have the Christmas spirit earlier this year. Maybe it's the snow, maybe it's being.. uh, having a crush, maybe it's getting older. But I love it and I'll buy some decorations this week, because like I said, in our family the tree is decorated on the 24th, and I don't wanna wait that long.

I was up to late drinking wine last night and watching Bobs Burgers.

I love Bob's Burgers! Love love love.

I am a fan of Bob's Burgers, too.

So, big shooting at a mall in Portland. Why was my first thought, "Oh, no, has Noah snapped?"? Guy's been under a lot of stress lately...

Let us know you're okay, G!

I would picture that idiot that Xia was gonna send after Noah possibly doing something stupid like that. I couldn't see Noah hurting a fly no matter how bogged down he is right now.

I wouldnt use a gun, you should know me better than that.
But No I was not shot nor did I do any shooting

That's a relief.

Whew.

Oh yeah. buttheads. thanks for worrying whether I was shot and or snapped.

some friends.

psh

Pepper your to nice to kill people when you snap.
