The Leverage finale.

Oh my god.

The Leverage finale.

That is all.

Oh my god.

Kind of annoyed because almost everything else is closed because of the Blizzard that's coming but my work is open.

But then I feel bad for complaining because I've been off work since Friday.

But it's super ugly outside.

I sooooo don't want to go in today. I'm dead tired. XS Suppose that's what I get for staying up stupid-late three nights of five.

At least the snow stopped. Work may have made me stronger, but that doesn't mean I have to like it. XP

My in-laws gave me a new mini-Cuisinart and homemade limoncello. The hubby got me some classic Doctor Who DVD collections and Ten's Sonic Screwdriver. Bring on the blizzard! :)

I'm cold. I am not used to cold. I love it when the weather is at the 60s range, not 30s or even 40s. This would be tolerable if I had a heater. One of these days I'll get one.</p>

At least it gets warmer tomorrow! Sucks that it will get cold again during the week and me without a heater.

As much as I love my fiance's family, I'm getting really tired of them being so inconsiderate of him and I. (Predominantly myself in this case.)

Yes, fiance's uncle, I'm aware that you hunt. I'm aware that you like cooking and that your family are chefs. But can you please take into account that I am a VEGAN and do not WANT to hear about your hunting trips, how you cook meat and how to kill animals?

I've been dating your nephew for over SIX YEARS NOW and it should be god damn apparent that I DO NOT ENJOY THESE THINGS. I don't sit here and talk about animal rights, or how I hate hunting/animal cruelty, or how my protests are going.

I don't want to out-right ask you to stop talking about these things, because 1) you are smart enough to make the connection and 2) I don't want to be considered "rude" or anything on that level.

Can we PLEASE talk about SOMETHING ELSE FOR ONCE, PLEASE. Like, I dunno: art, exercise, history, daily things happening in life, how you're a teacher and so is my mom, and other things we can relate on?

Sincerely,
The vegan animal rights activist that will be marrying your vegetarian, environmentally-concerned nephew.

So my Christmas didn't turn out so bad, even though some incredibly shitty things happened. First off, my step-mom's house got burglarized (while she was over at our, being my dad and me, house) on Sunday night and like 80-90% of her Christmas presents got stolen, as well as like all of her jewelry including stuff that's got so much sentimental value it's irreplaceable. So that certainly put a damper on things.

Then it turned out that my cousin's garage was broken into Christmas Eve and thousands of dollars of tools were stolen while they, including her 11 month old baby, were in the house (the garage is not attached).

So that was the highlight of my Christmas.

Let's hear it for OR's UI Dept. They decided to hold up my funds last week to do an official "audit" of my jobsearch. IOW, they demanded I provide them an email showing that I'd contacted the same employers that they already knew I'd contacted because they'd spoken to said employers.

[rolleyes]

Merry Fucking Xmas indeed.

On the plus side, the Italian plums I put up in jars of vodka and brandy (with sugar) back in September are fabulous! Sampled one of each yesterday. Woo! So today I'm taking the rest to a Boxing Day Party to share w/friends. We'll be drinking, munching snacks, re-gifting stupid presents we've received and then kicking back with the holiday Dr. Who ep.
