Hey nerds!

Happy V day!

It's 3:00 and so far I've received no chocolate hearts, no roses and no edible panties.  All in all it's a good day.  Oh yeah, and there is a horribly cold sleet storm outside.  Did I forget to mention that?  Today it was so cold that when I went downstairs to open the metal gate it was frozen shut!  I had to climb around into the neighbors'  yard while hoping I wasn't caught and forced to live the rest of my life as their lawn gnome.  Clearly, I survived.  Then I made it to the D.r.'s office where I was scheduled to get back my shoe inserts and the doctor wasn't there.  When he finally called me, it was to say he had gotten into a car accident and wouldn't be able to come in.  So, ladies and gentlemen, It will now be ANOTHER week of the not walking well.  Yep, that's right one whole month all together if all goes well. (Of course, "If all goes well"  seems like the wrong expression to use here as it has clearly not all gone well.)  So, to sum things up, one day soon I may be able to walk right again.  Hooray!  Now I am working in a different area than usual, and of course due to the storm, they don't need me at all which is how I've found the time to update my journal :)


So, as for V day, here are a few things that start with "v"

Vanilla
Vagina
Venus Fly Trap
Velveeta

Well I survived Pittsburgh, but I did not survive the terrible cold my friends had while I was there.  I woke up yesterday morning with a fire in my throat.  Luckily I called to wake them up and let them know.  When my mother and I went food shopping, I ran to the medicine aisle and grabbed the cough drops and ripped them open.  A few of them went on the floor, but I guess on Christmas Eve they do not arrest people for opening cough drop bags.

Right now my dad, brother and I are sitting on the couch watching T.V. and making fun of everything that comes on.  We did such an excellent job earlier making fun that my mom laughed hysterically and then fell asleep with her mouth open.  The three of us now feel very accomplished.  We opened our presents earlier, and like good jews we ate bagels and lox while we did so.  My mom gave all of us matching hats, so we decided to spend the rest of the day indoors.

Now, because it is the first time I have been home in quite a while, my dad and I are going to make latkes!  Hooray!  Latkes on Christmas! Mmmmm.  It is going to be quite a change from makign 17 dozen cookies last week with my friends. 


Gotta go cook, more later.

hooray! today i made all of my workmates into costumed folks! it was great! i forced people to participate in the age-old tradition of acting stupid and being rewarded with sugar. with the aid of construction paper, i made people into a butterfly, a pumpkin, a monster, and a ghost. and even the parents who insisted that this is the devil's day came in the office to chat while their children did lessons. even the parents who KNEW that this day was against the lord chewed snickers and swallowed hershey kisses. and somehow the lord didn't mind.
