Thank God That's Over!

I am so glad the holidays are over with.  Mine were totally shitty-but then again I kinda figured that they would be.  I guess I just didn't realize exactly how shitty they would be and how bad I would feel.  Kinda fell into a two-week funk...one of my lovely depressions that hit this time of the year.

I didn't get to see my kids and I wasn't even able to get them anything.  All I could do was make them a scarf with my new-found crocheting talent.  (Which isn't all that great just yet)  I still haven't been able to give it to them.  I'll probably just mail Bam-Bam's to him.  He went back to his dorm a couple of days ago.

I slept most of the day-afternoon and part of the evening Christmas day.  Knew it was going to be crappy so I just slept.  Pretty much did the same thing this past weekend for New Years.  I was up at Midnight to ring in the new year.  Sat here with the BF and his mom watching Dick Clark.  It figures, the ONE time that the BF actually wanted to go out, I didn't feel like it.  He kept pestering me about it too.  Wanted me to figure out somewhere we could go to celebrate that wasn't going to have a bunch of drunks or alcohol being served.  Duh!  NYE and a place not having alcohol or drunks...good luck with that!  Only place I could think of was an AA meeting or some kind of AA sponsored party.  I wasn't in the mood for any of that shit either.  

I kept getting pissed because I'm usually trying to get him to do something every damn weekend.  Usually all he wants to do is sit on his ass all weekend!

Oh well, 2011 is gone...on with 2012.  Hopefully making some major changes for the better this year.  And hopefully be in my own apartment for the holidays next year.

Song Challenge Saturday!

Week 5: A song you play when you’re getting pumped/getting your confidence up.

Since tomorrow is Christmas, I figured that I would make it a Christmas song from one of my favorite movies...

Lampoon's Christmas Vacation Theme Song

Bah, Humbug!

I am really not in the Christmas spirit this year.  Usually I can psyche myself into it but I'm just not feeling it this year.  Last year's xmas was kind of screwed up with me being laid-off.  I at least had SOME money for presents.  I could only get them for my kids but, that's really all that matters.  This year I'm not even going to have enough for that. 

I thought about trying to "make" presents.  I was going to crochet some scarfs for Rikki, Tammy and Beth.  Unfortunately I just now got one thing of yarn and a hook.  Its a miracle that I talked the boyfriend into getting that.  (A whopping $4.50)  I started practicing last night.  My problem is I have no idea what I could make for the boys and my dad.  I guess I could make scarfs for them too-but my dad just isn't the "scarf type."  Who the hell knows what I'll end up doing...probably nothing knowing my luck.  Even if I became proficient enough to crank out six scarfs in the next 2 weeks; I'd have to somehow get the money out of the boyfriend.  It wouldn't be much but trying to get money out of him is a pain in the ass.

The Holidays Have Went to SHIT!

Every year the Christmas season moves further and further back on the calendar. Its really beginning to piss me off!  Now the decorations and Christmas commercial crap starts in October...the beginning of October!  Hello?  Can we fricking enjoy Halloween first?  Then of course give Thanksgiving its due respect?  

I think I may have to become the Christmas Decoration Grinch...starting next year. Don't get me wrong, I love the holidays and I love decorating. I just get a hair across my ass when people start decorating BEFORE Thanksgiving! No lights, No decorations and certainly NO TREE before Thanksgiving! I'm okay with putting that stuff up on Thanksgiving night.

Speaking of Thanksgiving night; all the farkin' stores are going to be open. WTH? Makes my head want to explode! Black Friday is Black Friday! Not Thanksgiving. Ya won't catch my ass out in that mess. Nope, don't have the patience for it.

The holidays are more commercial now and it pisses me off. Sure, I LOVE buying gifts for my family and friends. Actually it gives me such a natural high to be able to do that. Unfortunately I won't be able to this year due to my unemployment status. Some people will understand, some won't. With the latter, its all about what you get for them. That used to bother me, now it doesn't. Those folks can booger-off! That's not what the holidays are about!
