I’m still not done with my Christmas shopping yet. I know it’s probably a sin but I do truly think that I will be done after tomorrow. I only have one more person to buy for and I actually have a good idea of what I’m buying, so we’ll see. Once I get done with that then I will have to wrap the presents. That’s one thing I never really understood was the whole wrapping ordeal. I buy you something, something you probably won’t even like by the way, and then I have to conceal this item with colorful paper when I give it to you. Once I give you the present, you will then rip the pretty paper off of the present with no second thoughts. Then again, there is the other type of person, and sorry ladies, but usually it’s a woman; this person will carefully remove the paper from the package like she’s working a crime scene and try and save it. Why are you saving it, the paper only costs about $1 for 50 feet of it, and you know if I own it my cheap ass bought it last year after Christmas for only 50¢. I don’t know why some people have to save it but regardless if they save it or destroy it I already know that the present is probably going back… why you ask, because after spending 10 minutes on the paper, the present only gets about a 10 second look and a quick thanks then it’s onto the next one.
We had our first major snowstorm of the year yesterday. I still left for work at 4:30 in the morning and drove in the shit Wednesday. The prediction was that we would get anywhere from 9” to a foot of snow and it would really pick up midday Wednesday. I went in early and ended up leaving around 7am and I took today off. I think I should have worked because I ended up retiling a bathroom. Luckily it was vinyl tiles and not ceramic tiles because even I’m not up for that kind of shit. My body is sore in places I didn’t know it could be sore in. I think I’ll be up for a little pain tomorrow because I’m sure after I sleep on it it’ll hurt even more in the morning. Hey, I was talking about snow wasn’t I? The one think that was nice about the snow is that my snow blower started up right away yesterday and I was able to go out and take care of that shit right away. If you’ve ever been in a snowstorm and you’ve just snow blown, then you know what comes next. I would say roughly five minutes after I did the driveway the snowplow drove by and filled the end of it. Bastards.
