Christmas Eve Phone Call
Monday, December 24th, 2007To the telemarketer who called on Christmas Eve, I’m sorry I was grumpy and rude. (I don’t expect you to ever read this, but let’s play along, right?)
I wasn’t really expecting you to call today, then something you said caught me up short. I asked you why you were calling me on Christmas Eve and you said you were only doing your job.
I hope you have a merry Christmas. May God bless you. Go have yourself a beer.
Christmas Eve Eve Haiku
Sunday, December 23rd, 2007
The tree doth explode
Spills Christmas into the room
Such strange traditions
No time to savor
But the needful is achieved.
And our jobs are done
BJ’s phone was stole
But they didn’t steal the bill
Three hundred dollars
My back door is fixed
And an offer has been made
Loose ends get tied up
Lady’s long work week
Dims her appreciation
That I’m off 4 days
Its Christmas Eve Eve
And these days are the good days
Unless you’re a tree
—
Happy Festivus!!!
I forgot it was today
Should make tonight fun…
Got Me a Laptop, Again
Saturday, December 22nd, 2007Quick, I’ll cut to the chase. I got a laptop, again. You can see a picture of the back of it and me and the kids looking at it here.
It’s fun. It’s tiny.
It’s what I was looking for.
It’s called an Asus Eee Pc.
Even on a hard day
Saturday, December 22nd, 2007I love you, little Bell. Hope today gets better!
