WTF Is It Now?!?

WTF got a few messages asking where the hey we were this weekend. Ummmm, sorry. I kept meaning to post, but we kind of got caught up in the holiday spirit thing. Must've been all that snow. We finished shovelling out, went shopping for pointsettias, filled the bird feeders, watched football, made a wreath out of grapevines, picked up our Christmas tree, washed windows, baked bread, built a fire, and watched "White Christmas." It's good to be back at work where I have an excuse to sit on my ass at the computer all day.

The new people across the street put up their outdoor Christmas lights this weekend, their little spawn shrieking at a pitch so high they set off every dog in the neighborhood. I figured this year I'd decorate my deer skull, stick a big red bulb in the nose-hole, and mount it on the front door. Heh heh heh.


I should never, ever open BuzzFlash first thing in the morning - it gets me too pissed off.
