Christmas here was quiet. I had been let go at my job at 11:45 as a Christmas present, ok, it was without pay but I still got the get out of jail free card. I was enjoying the night reading the gossip rags and occasionally having to talk to someone.
I waited for my co-worker Kathleen to finish her call, etc. Her car is not so good and she feels more comfortable following me home than if she is out there by herself. No biggie for me, I go straight home most of the time. For some reason, I couldn't sleep, even with my Ambian. It took a bottle of sparkling white zin to get me to fall asleep at 5 and the cats got me up at 8:30.
I had been telling Mark I was fine for Christmas, as far as gifts go. I had gotten the iPod and House boxed sets the day after Christmas, he had ordered the GPS that I wanted but let him play with (and basically have). He could have all the presents this year. I had gotten him My Name is Earl - Season 1, assorted Monty Python DVDs, chocolate covered expresso beans, a 2 gig MP3 player, a Sudoku electronic game (that type of shit is right up his logical alley), The Jerk DVD. He got new tires for the bike the same weekend I had bought the iPod. He also got this: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000A70ETA/103-5951232-9399058
Mark didn't listen and still went out a bought. I now have a hot stone massage and 30 minutes in the sauna from the local spa, $100.00 gift certificate from my favorite quilting store and two watches, one for dress and one for everyday. Even I am sick of my Wally World $10.00 velco watch!
I made a rib eye roast for dinner. All I do is cover that puppy in kosher salt and throw it in the oven. It was perfect, rare enough for Mark and not so rare for me. I baked potatos, I didn't need to make gravy and some frozen winter veggies. Oh, and quite a few mimosas, the perfect way to clear off that top shelf in the fridge of low priced booze. 2 bottles left to kill on New Years Day. I work New Years Eve.
The afternoon was spent watching football. I had on my lucky Eagle's jammy bottoms (I had worn them to work when the Eagles beat the Giants) and the Eagle "Holiday Light" was lit up in the living room. Love it when TO gets pawned. Love watching him blame everyone else when he messes up. His finger hurts, they weren't throwing to him enough so he didn't get in the groove. Gee, maybe it was karma since he wanted the headlines to read: TO ruins Eagle's season again".
I have to work today. I am sure the next month will be calls about returns. Ah, the complaining about having to pay for return shipping...
