jingle bells and crap
Hoo lawdy, it's been a long time since I posted. Sorry about that. Work has been utterly crazy lately. On the upside, I received a bonus for all my hard work. I'm also on vacation this week. I finally managed to get caught up on sleep and put a dent in my Christmas shopping. I still have a fair amount to do but the bulk of it is taken care of.
Let's see... what else? Oh, I went to a Christmas party at my younger sister's place and ended up hurling in the Path station afterwards. A sure sign that a good time was had. You know, up until the puking. But damn, I felt better afterwards.
On a more serious note, Best Friend Since Kindergarten is going through the emotional wringer right now. A good portion of my time has been spent fielding her phone calls and text messages to help her through a rough time. I can't and won't get into the specifics because it's her story to tell, not mine, but, while it's no burden whatsoever to support a friend, it's really taking an emotional toll. I simply cannot stop thinking about her.
It's sometimes hard to find the right words so I just listen without prejudice and try my best to give her helpful, honest encouragement and support. One of the bits of advice I gave her is to do what I did here -- write it out. She doesn't have a blog nor do I expect her to start one but she seemed open to the idea of sitting down and writing down her story. Here's hoping her experience is as helpful and therapeutic as mine.
In other news, my other blog, American Midol, is up and running again in anticipation of the new season (starts January 15). Other than updating the season premiere graphic, I haven't done a damn thing over there. All credit goes to my talented co-bloggers. Speaking of which, Melissa McGee, a frequent commenter here has joined our ranks over at Midol and we are beyond elated. She's a clever broad, that Melissa McGee.
Okay, I need to split but I do promise to write again before Christmas. Here are some holiday-themed posts to hold you over until then:
:: They Do Know... They Just Don't Care
:: The Alan Alda Sensitivity Project: Holiday Edition
:: 10 Things I Can Be Sure of over the Holidays
:: Season Greetings from Curly and The Hoff
:: Kipper
