Guess what? Sweety and I have begun the Rebirth Of The Living Room.
This photo shows you what was on the wall. That blue heart border. White on top and tan on bottom. It was here when I moved in and I just wasn’t motivated enough to yank it down.
But Sweety did it for me on Friday night! And he said he doesn’t care how I decorate the living room. I immediately began a booze fueled hunt on eBay for things to put on the walls. This and this arrived today! They are 8×10 and on canvas. I’ll get them framed up soon. And? I have two paintings on the way featuring (drumroll please!)…..WOMBATS! I know you know how much I LOVE WOMBATS. I am most excited.
We always do our Thanksgiving dinner on Wednesday because the boys are at their mother’s on Thursday. We’ve finished dinner and the kitchen is clean. The dishwasher is singing merrily. Tiny Dog and Stinky Dog are snoring with bellies full of mashed potatoes and peas. Have you ever seen a dog eat a plate full of green peas? Hilarious. They kept falling out of Stinky’s mouth and Tiny sucked them up one at a time as they fell out.
I have to freaking work tomorrow because I didn’t request Thanksgiving day off properly in our computer system. Meh. It all works out though because I’m taking that holiday time off on December 23 and my Mom and stepdad will be here then! Fantastical Sweety bought their plane tickets so they could come down! They’ll be here from the 21st through the 28th. I can’t wait! I can’t remember the last time I had a Christmas with my Mom.
Speaking of work…
I don’t like having something shoved down my throat. Sure, it’s nice if someone wants to do a payroll deduction and donate money to a charity. But don’t tell me that it’s sad how selfish people are because they’re not doing that. You don’t know me. You don’t have any idea what I do with my money away from work. On top of that, it’s none of your business. Leave me alone. Dare I say – fuck you?
Ahem. So maybe that’s not the nicest thing to say this time of year when we should all be thankful and sharing. I’m really tired of hearing this though. I actually used to donate to a charity through a payroll deduction but canceled it a couple of years ago after having to attend meetings that were to drum up more donations. It really pissed me off how higher-ups were pushing for them. I decided I’d rather hang on to my money and do something nice for someone when I run across the opportunity.
The turkey coma is descending. It is time to snuggle up on the couch with Stinky and Tiny for a nappy-poo. Nappy-poo? I really just typed that, huh? Nappy-poo.
I hope you all have a nice Thanksgiving!

Payroll deductions going towards charitable organizations? Something about that doesn’t seem right to me… something about that seems like, sure we can tell you your money is going to feed hungry people in South America, but REALLY it’s going to pay for the mortgage on our fourteenth house….

Here Today, Gone Tomorrow – Thank you! It was a delicious nappy-poo!
Bekah – I can’t believe that I hadn’t thought of that before. I just feel like it’s another way for them to be nosy when they shouldn’t.
Rebturtle – Go with no pants. Or elastic.

I don’t mind contributing to charities, in fact I make a lot of DIRECT contributions; but I really, really don’t like some bigwig at work who decided that we worker bees are not worthy of a pay raise because they need to keep profits up “encouraging” me to do so.

TheMom – Thank you!
Midwestern City Boy – Oh yeah, in that same meeting – we were also given a memo saying all merit raises were on hold. Pfft.

Sweety is definitely living up to his name sending your Mom & Step-dad plane tickets. I love you are spending the holiday with your Mom.
I didn’t give to U*nited W*y for the first time this year and you know what? Screw em’. I also told my Dept. to exclude me from any Christmas activities. Let em’ talk about me behind me back. I don’t give a shit.
