The holiday with the in-laws was eventful (as expected), and not as restful as hoped (also not requiring Kreskin to predict). As i will relate in more detail when i find myself with time on my hands, the holiday included:
- buying a last minute Christmas tree for the Veronica-rejected sum of $55,
- acquainting Tara with the drive up and down the 5,
- the aforementioned doggie experiencing déjà vu with another brown chihuahua,
- testing the concept that expectations dictate affections with Rocky Balboa,
- fighting freezing rain and mammoth tumbleweeds while crossing the grapevine,
- sleeping on assorted air mattresses for a week straight,
- dining on a variety of Alan-prepared Mexican delights including posole, empanadas, and much much guacamole,
- introducing a manic Ana to the Exploratorium,
- watching the usual winter warriors Chelsea slump to a disappointing but not unexpected three straight draws over the holidays, and
- spending three days devising a way to install a 5.1 channel surround sound system in our living room without wires running everywhere.
I returned to work this morning with two big grants to generate by March 1. Yip-e-kai-ay, motherf@$#er.
i'm getting 'round to thinking that today could bring me down
the curse that swarms around me leaves a bad taste in my mouth
i never understand how you could want to stand so near
'cause if i had the time i would be anywhere but here
tell me if all the things i feel are always wrong
tell me that if i got you down would that be wrong?
