Stories from an ordinary life

Hooray for Christmas trees!

So yay, I finally got my very own Christmas tree! I think I did a pretty good job decorating it, if I do say so myself. It turned out to be a bigger undertaking than I imagined. I knocked it over twice trying to put on the lights and I had buckets of needles on the floor, but it's all done now and hopefully it will stay standing (as long as Champ gets over his desire to leap at the ornaments). And if anyone thinks my tree is ugly, keep it to yourself!

Anyhow, I really don't want to go back to work tomorrow! Everyone else got a four-day weekend; I had two days off, worked two days and then had two more days off. And I'll be working Christmas so I don't really have any holiday to look forward to. I guess I can't complain too much though; I didn't want a regular job -- I love my odd hours that allow me to sleep in, and the price of that is not getting normal days off. If I wanted lots of holidays, I would have been a banker :-P.

I don't have much to say tonight since all I've done for the last two days is sleep and Christmas shop, but I must quickly comment on something that bothers me. The damn girls from "Dawson's Creek" ruined the show for me. That show like defined my high school years, now the girls I thought were so cool have illegitimate children while still in their mid-20s. They're supposed to be out there living it up, enjoying the Hollywood hype with men I can only dream of -- but no, Katie Holmes had to get impregnated by stupid Tom Cruise. I've lost all respect for her. Michelle Williams is a little more forgivable. At least her could-be hubby is hottie Heath Ledger who hasn't shown any signs of missing a few screws. (P.S. this rant comes after much watching of E! this weekend which has been showing previews for the E! True Hollywood Story of the Dawson's Creek gang, which I will probably still watch.)
