C James Posted December 23, 2006 Posted December 23, 2006 I finished it this morning (Saturday). We've still got several presents to wrap, though... and one major one to put together. I'm thinking of leaving that until the 26th, but I might be under pressure from the ankle-biters to put it together earlier. The person below me is spending Christmas somewhere special. Yep! At my Mom's house. Fortunately, she's only a few hours drive away, so no having to deal with the typical "Holiday travel" horrors. The person below me still has Christmas cards to send out.

rknapp Posted December 24, 2006 Posted December 24, 2006 I can't, I'm done. Though I AM still christmas driving, which includes taking a jughandle onto a road, turning left the second the traffic clears, the gunning the motor to catch the yellow light while switching into the legal straight-through lane, then slamming on the brakes after negotiating the intersection (at which point the light is now red) to avoid slamming into another car. Fun fun The person below me got some Christmachanukwanzayule presents already.

Fun fun The person below me got some Christmachanukwanzayule presents already. Yep! My side of the family celebrated Christmas on the night of the 23rd. I've spend half of today helping the boys with their presents -- some of which are cruel to give to young kids (that's cruel to the parents -- the boys love them!). The person below me has just heard that seven is middle-aged... and wonders what that makes a teenager. Five- and seven-year-olds can have some fascinating conversations at times. Conversations older folk (anyone over ten) really aren't supposed to overhear.
rknapp Posted December 24, 2006 Posted December 24, 2006 If seven is middle-aged, then (at 20 next month) what the fudge am I? Hehe, my dad's side celebrated on the night of the 23rd as well. I got 50 bucks straight up, a 50 dollar VISA gift card, and lots of popcorn (like every year, I love the stuff actually). Weeee! The person below is immersed a new book that has actually been out for quite some time already. Damn you Christopher P. Lydon and your divine writing talents... as a physics major in pre-engineering, Falcon Banner hits every single passion that I have. Thank god I didn't start this during the semester, or I would surely be booted from the dual-degree program for piss-poor performance.
C James Posted December 27, 2006 Posted December 27, 2006 The person below is immersed a new book that has actually been out for quite some time already. Yep! It's been out for nearly 50 years! LoL! (a guide to Arizona Ghost Towns, and I like the older books on the subject). The person below me mailed the last of the Christmas cards today.

(a guide to Arizona Ghost Towns, and I like the older books on the subject). The person below me mailed the last of the Christmas cards today. Sorry, no. If I mail anymore cards, it'll just be getting in early for next year... The person below me is experiencing present overload (the boys got too many toys for Christmas)
C James Posted December 27, 2006 Posted December 27, 2006 Sorry, no. If I mail anymore cards, it'll just be getting in early for next year... Given the speed of mail delivery in this area (I've seen a letter take a week to go five miles) they might not be THAT early for next Xmas. The person below me is experiencing present overload (the boys got too many toys for Christmas) Nope, not here, though you have my commiserations! The person below me has already taken down their xmas decorations.

Nope, not here, though you have my commiserations! The person below me has already taken down their xmas decorations. Nope...actually it doesn't even feel like Christmas has come yet let alone over! The person below me is feeling 'left wanting'
The Reaper Posted December 27, 2006 Posted December 27, 2006 Nope...actually it doesn't even feel like Christmas has come yet let alone over! The person below me is feeling 'left wanting' Not for xmas lol. Although i AM left wanting more of what xmas has brought me (and im not talking about all the badass presents i got). The person below me is going to go watch (consecutively) the 2 xmas Futurama episodes..........then wondering why its taken so long to bring it back on the air.

I would if they were shown in Australia.... The person below me has just been told he's going to go see Happy Feet tomorrow.
C James Posted December 27, 2006 Posted December 27, 2006 (edited) I would if they were shown in Australia.... The person below me has just been told he's going to go see Happy Feet tomorrow. Nope... But happy movie-going! LoL! The person below me is (unlike me) a postaholic. Edited December 27, 2006 by C James
Kurt Posted December 27, 2006 Posted December 27, 2006 I am indeed NOT a postaholic! The person below me thinks that CJ needs to realize that he is, indeed, a potaholic so he can get some help.
C James Posted December 27, 2006 Posted December 27, 2006 I am indeed NOT a postaholic! Hmmm, a postaholic in denial! The person below me thinks that CJ needs to realize that he is, indeed, a potaholic so he can get some help. Certainly not! I'm glad I got to this post before Graeme! The person below me is wondering how many months it will take them to stop writing "06" when writing the date.
Site Administrator Graeme Posted December 27, 2006 Site Administrator Posted December 27, 2006 Hmmm, a postaholic in denial! Certainly not! I'm glad I got to this post before Graeme! The person below me is wondering how many months it will take them to stop writing "06" when writing the date. From previous experiences, it takes around a month. I used to work with hospital administration software, and I would still be finding patients admitted with the wrong year near the end of January. It usually showed up when they went to print the bill and found the person being charged for 366 days of accomodation instead of one.... The person below me is about to make themselves something to eat. PS: CJ, there was no need to worry. I would have disagreed with Kurt anyway. -- You ARE a postaholic, but I don't think you need to realise this, and you certainly don't need help. It's these harmless little quirks that make people (and goats) interesting.

The person below me is about to make themselves something to eat. Not me, it's after midnight and I ate hours ago. The person below me is driving a long way to a new year's eve party.
Bondwriter Posted December 28, 2006 Posted December 28, 2006 No, I'm not. I'll stay at my sister's where I spend the holidays since she lives in the US and I was missioned by my other relatives to come over as she can't travel with her husband who got out from the hospital 3 weeks ago after a motorcycle accident on October 13th. He's doing fine, so he's been our walking Christmas present. The person below me has decided to stay sober on New Year's Eve.

He's doing fine, so he's been our walking Christmas present. The person below me has decided to stay sober on New Year's Eve. I may not stay sober, but I won't be getting drunk. I'm on call over the New Years weekend (starting tonight). The phone will probably never go off, but I should be prepared to help if it does. I had one one-call time when I was drunk (friend's wedding) and the phone went off at 1am. I was on the computer from 1am to 3am trying to help this person.... The person below me is about to start a new post-christmas project. In my case, painting the ceiling and one wall of the living room.
Mikie Posted December 29, 2006 Posted December 29, 2006 Well it's a project per-say. Learning Irish Gaelic... Yup I have my work cut out for me. The person below me hates the fact that one of their best friends is in another state right now... All the way in Tennessee
Site Administrator Graeme Posted December 29, 2006 Site Administrator Posted December 29, 2006 Learning Irish Gaelic... Yup I have my work cut out for me. That sounds really cool! I had an introduction to Welsh gaelic when I lived in the UK, but that's more than 10 years ago and I can't remember any of it. The person below me hates the fact that one of their best friends is in another state right now... My best friend lives in the USA and I've never met him. I'd like to, but I don't know if it's ever going to happen.... The person below me is tired from working too hard today.
Kurt Posted December 29, 2006 Posted December 29, 2006 No... but I am tired because I am sick. The person below me is sick of bein sick.
Myk Posted December 29, 2006 Posted December 29, 2006 No... but I am tired because I am sick. The person below me is sick of bein sick. Yup, I was sick for a month!!!! I actually still have bacteria in my throat, mmmmm, but they don't seem to be making me sick anymore. Stupid colds The person below me slept in too much and is worried about getting some work done.
kojaky Posted December 29, 2006 Posted December 29, 2006 Yup, I was sick for a month!!!! I actually still have bacteria in my throat, mmmmm, but they don't seem to be making me sick anymore. Stupid colds The person below me slept in too much and is worried about getting some work done. I did sleep in but since I'm on vacation, I'm not too worried to get my work finished yet. The person below me needs to clean up their desk.
rknapp Posted December 29, 2006 Posted December 29, 2006 *Looks to his left at the empty Mt. Dew bottles, then directly in front of him at the college books, online purchase printouts, swedish fish, American Pie Naked Mile dvd, new hard drive, random candy wrappers and car badges, then to his right at several more empty Mt. Dew bottles, cd cases, cd books, cd towers, deoderant sticks, and cheesy poofs* What? The person below me is hungry and needs to pick up their paycheck.

Just finished having lunch and my pay is put directly into my bank account each month, so 'nope' to both. The person below me is planning to be in bed by 10pm on the 31st December 2006.
