5. After the first of the year, the full assault begins.

I'm glad to have some sort of network there. All my friends are looking out for me. I have good people in my life. :)

9. My mood is much better but

I have a terrible head cold. I skipped my family thing tonight - I just wasn't up to the drive. Oh, well, there's always tomorrow.

11. Sorry about the cold.

Hopefully once you stop working so much you'll stop being sick all the time.

I'm seeing my parents tomorrow, but then that's my only family thing.

13. I'm not sick all the time

This cold I'll attribute to being run-down. In November and September I wasn't exactly sick - just suffering for Eve's sins.

I'm not looking forward to Boxing Day. It's much like the day after Thanksgiving for you.

16. The day after Christmas is traditionally busy here, too.

Edited on Sat Dec-24-05 11:58 PM by GOPisEvil

All those returns of unwanted or wrong-sized/color gifts to cap off retail workers' hell. :)

20. Many stores here don't allow returns on Boxing Day

Too busy with all the big sale items.

The store I work at is pretty cushy as far as retail goes. There's always lots of staff, and and upscale but not snotty clientele.

I have to credit the camera a bit too. Thank goodness for Image Stabilization. This camera did really well at making what I saw in my mind come turn out as a photo. I think it's smarter than me. ;)

I've always really liked California a lot. I've made about 10 trips to various locales in CA over the years.

You're very good at photography. And I mean it! I don't have a critic's eye but those pics look darn good to me! I hope you had a great time in SCal! Can you do some nude shots of me? Or do you just do landscapes? :evilgrin:

Ya know, I talked to matcom last night. My cheeks hurt about as much after that call as they did watching you go 15 rounds with your ice cream.

49. Today's forecast is 5-6 ft southwest swells (up to 8 feet this afternoon)

and a water temp of 57 to 60 degrees...would be perfect to go out right now while the water and air temp are close...

51. Damn it!

Now I'm homesick. :cry:

It's gray and crappy-ass here in Nebraska. I walk outside and whimper, and my mother says "Whaaat? It's warm!" Yeah, no, cuz when you opened your mouth to say that, I could SEE your breath. That, my friend, is a fairly sure sign that it is not, in fact, warm. Boo.

We need more progressive types here in San Diego.
Did you happen to see the sea lions at the La Jolla Childrens Pool?

My pictures of them didn't come out as I'd hoped though.

San Diego is one of my favorite places on earth. I tried moving there once before.
