Waitin for Santa


Problem (#FirstWorldProblems): I hate shopping. I hate grocery shopping, fabric shopping, clothes shopping (see RJ's "sometimes I forget you're a girl" quote), shopping for me, shopping for others. Come Christmas, it is a necessity.
Solution: Apply my 2nd greatest talent- procrastination (second only to sleeping, of course). Today, Christmas Eve, I started and finished my Christmas shopping. Given, there wasn't that much left to choose from, but it worked. Farmington wasn't busy at all; everyone else was doing things you should be doing on Christmas Eve.

Last night Megan and I re-lived our high school memories, which included a "hang out" at Walmart.

 Cute, right? That's what we thought. Then we looked at the fine print- where the license plate says "Land of Enchantment". They spelled "Enchantment" wrong. This is the quality of education in which I grew up. Joke-a-licious.


As long as I'm going off on the before-and-after pictures, here's another one. I helped Lexi with her ginger bread house last year and this year. They always turn out so...beautiful.

Keshmish Baa'hozho to all and to all a goodnight.

HOW BOUT DEM TEXAS GEHLS!

For the last hour, I've been thinking about something very important. Is it ya'll or is it y'all? Grammar gods please guide me to the correct placement of the apostrophe. Rather, 2nd grade teacher, remind me of the rules. The word is a contraction of "you" and "all". At first, I think that it goes between the two- ya'll, like in "it's". But what about "don't"? Why isn't it "do'nt"? That's how I'm going to start writing. Ohhhh now I see that the apostrophe substitutes the absent letter. This makes more sense. It's probably y'all. One thing is for sure- I miss my Southern roommates! Last winter I was the odd ball from the nott-South. One of my other favorite Southerners is this guy. I can't figure out how to embed the video, so you'll just have to click here!

If we were your kids, we'd punish ourselves!

That's what I thought of when I walked out of my interview today. "If you hired me, I'd fire myself."

What a horrible, horrible interview. I was advised to apply to be an EatTech at the MTC, which is the person in charge of the billing/ordering/paperwork/accounting. First of all, I hate accounting. Secondly, I don't even like the MTC. Thirdly, I don't even want to major in dietetics. Why did I apply? I have no freaking clue. For now, I'll just stick with my mindless minimum wage job.
The bad thing: I have to face my interviewer often. He's my TA,  he works at the MTC, and I help him with his after-school-program class. I'm pretty sure he thinks I'm the biggest idiot right now.
The good thing: I don't have to sign my life away until April 2013.

Also. All I want for Christmas is to skip the next 2 weeks. Mmm maybe 4.
