FRIDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

---

Nothing here. I provide my own. We don't even have any kind of holiday party. It's not like it used to be around these parts. I do have a lunch one day next week, with my birthday dinner girls. And maybe another lunch. Not sure yet. After today, I have three work days left for the year. Now, if I just finish shopping, I'd be a happy camper. My brother and sister-in-law once again have me at a loss.

G'morning.

Grading today. Hehehehehehehehehehe.

My Social Tourettes Moment of the Day (and it's barely 8:00 am):

We have a neighbor in our building, let's call her Blucher. (cue the horses). She's probably in her early 40s, two kids, husband, career -- totally driven, humorless bitch. She's pushed people out of her way while on her morning run in the park (us included), she always tries to close the elevator doors when other people are trying to get on (us included), she's walked up a block to grab a taxi when other building residents are waiting in front (that's where I draw the line and just walk up ahead of her...) The type I would have thrown out of my office if we'd ever had the misfortune to work together. Nevertheless I always smile and say good morning, because Max likes the kids and vice-versa (and that bothers her. ).

This morning she's crossing the street with her husband and the two kids tucked securely between them. Max sees them and starts wagging his tail, the kids respond. I do my usual smile and "good morning," Blucher tightens her grip on her kid, stares straight ahead with that stone-faced grimace and just keeps walking. Maybe it's from the stress of yesterday, maybe I'm just tired of her non-responsive humorlessness, maybe I really am a bitch too (shut up), but I couldn't help myself and I said "Jesus F*cking Christ, it won't break your face-lift to smile once in a while."

Melissa's cupcakes! Good idea

Happy Friday.

I am off today - heading to CT for a bunch of doctor's appointments. i've been remiss all year, so have to try to squeeze in whatever I can before the end of the year. Then I'll run around and try to get other stuff done.

Had a fun surprise yesterday - was given tickets to tomorrow's SNL (with Sir Paul!) by my friends at NBC. So excited. Our very own Sir Paul is going to join me! (However, trying to get a dinner reservation last minute at a restaurant near the tree is a bit of a challenge!)

I'm going to try to stay out of BWW trouble today.

Squeel!!!!!!

Morning!

Using my last 1/2 day PTO today so just gotta make it to noon. Then to the dentist cause Addy and I seem to be on same page.

I watched Rock of Ages the movie last night. At first was cringing but they kinda pulled it out at the end to something somewhat enjoyable.

Oh, and Addy - did I ever tell you that my best ideas are always stolen (borrowed) from you?

I missed the school's Holiday Party this year. Damn, I kinda miss it every year. But I'm going out with a collegial group of colleagues tonight for Stiltons and Fondue to celebrate the end of this dreadful semester.

---

As it did for many people! Well...except for a certain family on the UWS.

Thanks for the morning giggle Deet.

We had a company wide annual meeting and then holidayish thing on Wednesday. I left - there were long lines for food, and I would rather poke my eye out then wait for crappy food I don't really want or need.

The company closes early a couple of days, otherwise, I have contracts that have to be finalized and signed before year end so the vendor's can report the revenue in this fiscal year. End of year is one of the busiest times for me - I think it may have been the inspiration for my screen name...

Ho Ho Ho.
