And Now My Life Has Changed In Oh So Many Ways

First of all, let me apologize for my lack of entries as of late. It is not from a lack of writing, it is mostly due to a lack of publishing. But I am hoping with a couple of days off, I should be able to bang out some really excellent posts for you all.

Somehow we finally made it to the end of the week. And what a long week it has been. With the anticipation of our time off work, the short five days of this week have really dragged on, and on and on. There are only five of us at the office today, and it really will be interesting to see who all plans on being here on the 27th. But thankfully I do have some extra days off coming to me at the beginning of January, so I don’t mind being one of the selected few working next week.

Okay, let me tell a weird story before I really begin. Maybe you all can make more sense of it. I work with a bunch of old ladies. Ladies who are definitely old enough to be grandmothers, but surprisingly, none of them have any grandchildren.

Today the lady whose office is across the hall from me, has spent most of the morning carrying around this doll. Now in her defense, sort of, it is one of those realistic dolls. When I saw it out of the corner of my eye first thing this morning, I really thought it was a real baby. This lady had received this “baby” as a Christmas present from one of her friends, and she has been going from office to office all morning showing everyone her new “baby.” So at about 9:00 this morning, she stopped by my office and I had to hold the doll and pretend to fall all over it like everyone else in the office had. In fact, the other ladies are taking turns watching the “baby” this morning. It is so weird. Right?

Moving forward. Last night we went to see ‘I Am Legend’. (Which really is a stupid title, but don’t get me started on all the stupid movie titles out there) And I surprisingly quite enjoyed it. Except the scary zombie guys! I guess I didn’t really do any research about this movie before I saw it, because I really had no idea what it was about or that there were weird zombie-like people in it.

But I loved his dog and all the funny conversation he had with her, (It made me miss our own quasi dog, Roxy) and it made we wonder how Will Smith can go from the Fresh Prince to Oscar nominated actor? All in all it wasn’t a bad movie, except the scary “bad guys”.

Well, I should get some work done today. Only a few hours until our own Christmas holidays start. I have started to count down the minutes that are painfully ticking by at a leisurely pace.

Here’s to:

Sleeping in, entertaining food, fun time with everyone.

Windows being closed while new doors are being opened.

Coming to a wonderful realization, “I think I might be over you”

Sitting back and just letting it happen, whatever that is.

Thanks to God for everything. Good Luck and Merry Christmas.
