Somewhere up above, someone or something

So yesterday I had this huge sigh of relief upon finishing my web project at work. Only, it seems I am not done. This is my face upon learning that: "Argh!"

It's not too bad, I guess. I can do most of it from home this coming week (the office is closed) but I'll have at least one, but probably two annoying days of work on it when I go back. I guess that's what I get for anticipating this blissful, cyber-shopping, work-free week. Heh, here's another disappointment: Last week, getting my check, I thought, "That's bigger than it should be." Out came my calculator (actually, I just opened up the Windows Calculator) and it seemed as if I had gotten a totally-out-of-nowhere $3/hour raise. This is my face upon seeing that: "Yay!"

But it was a mistake. Bummer. But at least I get to keep the extra bucks as a bonus.

This week my mood has been up and down like a rollercoaster. And it's not even time for PMS yet (that's three or four days away - all I'm going to want for Christmas is Tylenol and chocolate).

As far as Christmas goodies go, we've "only" gotten done so far the sugar cookies, the dipped pretzels, and the candied walnuts. Today I'll have to dive right in and start making peanut butter cookies like mad. I think the only thing other than that I'll have to do is the flan for Christmas day... I'll make it tomorrow night since we'll be home anyway. Mmm, sweet things.

I probably won't post again until after Christmas, so Happy Chrismahanukwanzaa to everyone! But you will see me again before 2006. I have a bunch of stuff planned for the site in the new year, which I will really have to shift my ass to get done since I'm also doing work-work next week. This whole "needing to work to buy stuff" business is really starting to cramp my style.
