Dear Santa. I’m great!

Allie 1, Christmas Panic 0. Yes, that’s right, I have all my shopping done! With days to spare! And nobody forgotten! Hopefully! Now wait and see, everyone will open their presents and throw them back at my head in disgust. But I went out and spent money and scratched their ungrateful names off my scrunched up little list, and at the end of the day, isn’t that really what Christmas is all about?

In further developments of the hyper-organised and mucho-smug kind, I have asked a small gang of friends to call over to the casa tonight, that way I don’t have to run around meeting individuals for the rest of the week! And before you say “what a dickhead, who’d be friends with her?” let me just say that everyone thought this was a great idea! Except for the people who weren’t free, I have to catch up with their worthless asses later in the week. Cos it’s all about the festive cheer, see?

I’m outa work on Wednesday eve, and then it’s off I go to Sunny Kildare for the rest of Christmas. Might come back up to town if the family start to wreck my head or whatever, but officially it’s Christmas in the country. Chestnuts roasting and all that jazz…shuffling around the house in pyjamas for 10 days…aww yeah…

Happy Christmas Everyone!

December! Yow!

Oh it’s been a while! Again! Excuse this time… actually, there is none. Work’s been busy, I’ve been home a lot, asleep a lot, full-time lazy ass. The weekend was spent recovering from the work Christmas party that we had last Friday night. Went to a Japanese karaoke restaurant (yes, that place on Exchequer Street), and despite everyone proclaiming that there was no way THEY would sing, we all filled ourselves with food and drink (booze was on the company dime – jugs of mojitos ahoy!) and bounced down the stairs to the karaoke booths. What ensued was… epic. Who knew we were so tuneful?! Let’s just say that a certain Canadian’s rendition of ‘U Can’t Touch This’ could be a definite contender for the Christmas #1 spot!

















So this is a photo of my dessert. Yes, I was drunk, but sweet merciful Jesus it was good. Vanilla and raspberry crème brulée. Another Homer moment for me.

Tonight I’m going to see the latest Harry Potter feature with the Roomie, this weekend I have to go home again for the big Christmas dinner with the big extended family, and next week all the soirées and shindigs and get-togethers begin in earnest. I’m drinking my orange juice, knocking back the vitamins and supplements, and gearing up for festivities!
