I am going through what I call the December Doldrums.

Here are the symptoms: Knowing Christmas is right around the corner and not really caring, procratinating on your endless holiday shopping list even though the internet is your best friend, drinking lots of warm beverages (coffee, tea, soup etc.), not shaving your legs and not caring (sorry boys), everyday feels like a lazy sunday, you get to catch up on your reading whether it be email, books, magazines, actual mail.

I'm sure we've all gone through it. And this is what I'm going through.  What sucks is that I KNOW I'm going through it  and I'm stuck.  I can't get out of it and I want to.  It's like I'm stuck in a boat in the middle of a lake completely surrounded by man-eating pirahnas. I CAN'T MOVE!

I've had the past three days off which is a miracle in itself because I am ALWAYS scheduled to work on weekends. I was planning on completely cleaning my room, finding things to donate to goodwill, take new puppy Luna to the park, get a haircut, buy more christmas presents. 

.....none of which were accomplished.

Even now looking at that list makes me feel really sad. Instead I was able to finish reading The Golden Compass in two days, read the latest Entertainment Weekly, adapted a no makeup look, went to a friends house to have two sucky parrot bay drinks, and thats pretty much it.  A three day weekend gone and wasted.

To top it off I break my phone by texting in the shower.  Yes I know I was practically asking for it but I had done it numerous times and sometimes you just need to let a cute boy know you are stand naked in the shower covered in a lather of grapefruit and jasmine scented shower gel. So I had to go back to my old phone.  I had just gotten my other one back in May.  I didn't want to get it but since I was opening a new account I had no choice.  So after I was in the shower texting I got out and was continuing my text conversation when all of a sudden all the buttons on the far left side were no longer dialable. I called my service provider and since I didn't purchase the insurance on the phone (I didn't want the phone to begin with!) I had to wait till March of next year to get any type of discount or pay full price for a new one.  So until March ole' faithful will have to do.

I hadn't realized how many new numbers I had acquired in the past six months.  It's an odd feeling to discover how many new people have entered my life and in someways changed my path forever.

One in particular had me contemplating the horrendous "c" word.....COMMITTMENT. To which he then preceeded to show me his committment to the word by sleeping with a skanky co-worker not more than an hour before he called me to go over....I know what you are thinking "What a winner!".  Yeah, he won't be missed.

I bid you all adieu for now.  Heroes is on and I am not giving it my undivided attention.
