The tragedy in southeast Asia is just unfathomable. The utter death and destruction caused by the tsunamis is beyond words. It just breaks my heart. I urge everyone to make a donation to the relief efforts. Any donation - no matter how small - is needed. You can find a list and links to various charities on CNN.com and Yahoo!'s areas that are devoted to the disaster. TTFN. Peace.

Merry Christmas!!

Ok, it is too early for it to be this cold. It is fucking freezing outside! The temp is 12 F and the wind chill is about 5 F. Other than freezing my tatas off, I'm feeling alright. I got most of my shopping done this past weekend. The stores were mobbed! I want to pick up one or two more things.

I had a nice birthday. I know I didn't really show it, but it was nice. I had my period - what can I say? At work, they got a cake for me. I also celebrated 2 months sober. Yay! And, on top of it all, I got a raise. My hourly pay went up 68 cents. It kicks in this next pay - on Christmas Eve of all days - and is retro-active back to November 1st. WOOHOO! Ok, I'll write more later. TTFN. Peace.

Happy birthday to me.. Yep. Today is my 31st birthday. I share my b-day with Beethoven - the date (December 16), not the year. :P . My parents got me a nice blazer, slipper socks and an Eagles sweatshirt. Ok, More later - time for work. TTFN. Peace.

Gosh - it has been a while since I last posted. I'm doing well. I'm still sober - 7 weeks. I'm all caught up at work so that makes me feel better. I don't feel so rushed. Needless to say, my boss is very pleased. I went back to work on November 8th and was almost 3 weeks behind. I worked my ass off and by Thanksgiving, I was caught up. I still want to get a new job. I may be caught up, but that doesn't mean I'm happy with my job. I am not holding my breath on getting a raise because I'd be dead. I need to work on Bullshitting 101..I mean my resume.

I still have to start my Christmas shopping. Ugh. It's not the shopping that I don't like, it's the crowds and traffic. I don't know what anybody wants. We get paid this coming up week, on the 10th. Thank God because after I pay for my eBay auction and last Thursday's check is deposited, I'll be cutting it close. I'm hoping my psychiatrist and therapy on Wednesday and Thursday, respectively, checks don't clear until Friday or later. I need more money. Those fucking pinheads at work sure as hell won't give us holiday bonuses. Hell, I'm even contemplating getting a night job, part time, at the mall. Considering I don't like retail, I'm willing to make an exception. Too bad that if I would get a job at Best Buy, that they wouldn't give me a free plasma screen tv..hehe. Ok, I gotta get some more stuff done, then watch the Eagles spank Green Bay. TTFN. Peace.

E-A-G-L-E-S!!!
