so i leave for colorado on saturday night–i have much to do before then, and i haven’t exactly started the christmas shopping yet…

bad news.

tomorrow is my office christmas party, i’m pretty excited for it

i do love parties.

there will be karaoke and food and probably a lot of drunk co-workers. i typically enjoy such a show!

2 more days of work. 2 more days of awfulness. i should mention, we recently “upgraded” to a new computer system. i’m not sure how they can call something so inefficient an upgrade though. it’s really really awful, but week 1 is almost complete, and then i have a week off!

let’s pray i don’t break my leg

or arm

or die.

i’m just hoping for a really enjoyable, relaxing week. then christmas. then new years.

and this year i’m going to keep my resolutions, i think i hope.

i really would like to purchase a new guitar. i just haven’t found the right thing yet. unfortunately for me, takamine no longer makes the guitar (DREAM guitar) pictured below. i want it. yet it just isn’t possible.

i’m missing a great show tonight at the stagger inn in edwardsville. it doesn’t start until 9 though, and in my old age, i find that i can’t seem to stay awake too late, and then if i do….i’m an irritable little financial services specialist. never good.

tuesday night i attended my first blues game, we had box seats. it was nifty. not nearly as cool as the luxury box at the rams game, but still fun.

i went with my friend Keith and his co-workers. keith uses me as a back-up girlfriend when he primary girlfriend is not available. i think i’m okay with that…

i have some new songs. i hope i can play them soon for an audience. i think i’m getting better as performing. i just need more practice. so if you ever want to be an audience…..

i wish the office would feature some new episodes. i’m not a fan of this writer’s strike. i really need the office.

everything should end in a question mark.

and everyone should listen and pretend to know what they are talking about when they scramble for an explanation.

sometimes people are just looking to legitimize a concern. maybe it’s not a big concern–just something to worry about–to pass the time.

so you can either pretend you understand, or you can tell them they need professional help–but i doubt that’s what they were expecting to hear..

oh, and i’m officially a notary public now. so if you need anything notarized. just come see me. i’m that awesome.

i really enjoy the weakerthans. i really really do.

You are a radio. You are an open door.
I am a faulty string of blue christmas lights.
You swim through frequencies.
You let that stranger in, as I’m blinking off and on and off again.
We’ve got a lot of time.
Or maybe we don’t, but I’d like to think so, so let me pretend.
