mErRy ChRiStMaS! Christmas Eve, sitting here freezing at work. heater is slow...must think...must work...must not get sleeeeeeeeeeeepppy. too late...asdfj; ooof;fskdlfhweo;skldfmlllhhhhzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz (oops, head just bonked the keyboard) ok, time for some hot chocolate and a cookie. i should get started earning my pay after sitting here for 40 mins.

mission s: buying "the perfect sweater" for mother's Christmas gift.
action log: website-ordered, sold-out.
two visits to Macy's-incomplete.
JcPenney's-incomplete.
two visits to Mervyn's-wrong size, incomplete.
mission summary: failed
comments: shamefully, the professional shopper has failed. i blame it on this state. if only i were in MN...i would find it! websites and catalogs are a sham. if the enticing catalog page did not call out to mother this mission "s" would not have been deployed. (sigh) during the most recent visit, i went down and spent $30 on myself. (sigh, sigh, sigh...)

wow, the novelty of "blogging" has suddenly died for me. now, i am even too lazy to type. let's see...i am proud to announce that i have kicked my coffee habit to the curb. we'll see how long it will last. the main reason of quitting coffee was that my heart was doing weird things from time to time. i am hoping that it will cease now that i have depraved myself. ha ha.

i am thinking of killing my blog. i need to start thinking of a long term website design now that i have my SILLY PENGUINS! T-SHIRTS. i have to set-up a link to my bro's website so he can process my orders. i am so thankful for that. if you want to check out his site it's www.e-anime.com. he sells gasp japanese anime. he's been in the biz for about 10 years.

man, i have no motivation to start on this website design...

man, i am itching for the weekend. i am falling asleep and can't concentrate on work. it's only 9:50 am! zzzz. how am i going to get through this day? at least we have free lunch today. i wish our company would go to fresh choice instead. i am feeling vegetabley and soupy today. we always have chinese food for free lunches due to majority rules (chinese pop. 97%). well, two hours until lunch. i hope i can distract myself the whole time.

.5 cup of coffee

ok, i just got really lazy. after eating 3 pieces of free pizza, i told myself i should go swimming. now i am thinking of skipping it. i knew it was too good to be true...to exercise like crazy and fall off the wheel. just one day will do it to ya. i am the true testament to that. heh. i'm ready to go home and take a nap. the grease has settled into my stomach and somewhere else i will remain unmentioned. :)

i am verdy proud of myself. i went through this whole week with half a cup of coffee. i tell ya, it was hard. i had to run away from freshly brewed starbucks coffee. today i was in starbucks fighting all temptation. i made it through somewhat alive. i am giving myself a big pat on the back! ooo i should reward myself with NOT going to swim! yes, another justification.

yay! it's friday and payday. i usually don't pay attention to the latter. tomorrow's the wedding! can't wait to boogie!

this is really weird...i think i am becoming addicted to exercise. i have gone three times this week and told myself that i would take a break today. my body is craving it! i am afraid if i don't go today i will get lazy again. if i go today my joints are going to start aching again. oh my, what to do, what to do...is there a happy medium concerning exercise? i am going to try to stay at home and clean-oooh! a "form" of exercise! ok, maybe that's how i will justify it. yes, i need justification! altho shopping is calling my name...uh oh, another chapter of my very exciting life. hah.

some may have noticed my distaste for christmas music. here's my explanation: i'm tired of "commercial christmas". all the crazy sales, commercials, "holiday" music playing every moment, especially all that spending, spending, spending! just to get in the "christmas" mood. it's starting to stress me out thinking of gifts to get coworkers, family, and friends. do i need this kind of superficial stress and added white hairs? i say BAAAA humbug! i think i may need some snow to get me more in the mood being from the midwest 'n all. but darn it, that white stuff sure is cold!

coffee count: yesterday & today ZILCH, can i make it through friday? possibly not. :P

4 left-over turkey meals and counting...i do not mind my ma's post thanksgiving meals. they come in many different forms: rice porridge, w/ veggies, mixed w/ sticky wild rice stuffing. i do luv this holiday unfortunately my pa wasn't home so it wasn't quite the same. i am combatting the extra pounds by "trying" to exercise every day or so. so far i have been semi-successful. i had to spend last friday laying in bed due to soreness from the turkey bowl. i am still nursing my ankle soreness but slowly recuperating. all in all it was a nice break from WERK!

coffee count: .5 cup monday, NONE today!
