Merry Christmas!

More Cashie/Wetlands Documentation

This is the first time I've been on my favorite little walk since Ida hit a month ago. Winter is here and its finally getting cold. I'm hoping this will help me not die when I go to the Pac NW in a few days, I've gotten way to acclimatized to the mild NC weather.

Now I think someone is messing with me

This was my Secret Santa gift today. I'm trying to decide if they're trying to be intentionally funny, or if they really thought I would like this. What will it be tomorrow, gerbils? Parakeets?

Secret Santa- terrible idea

We're doing Secret Santa at work. I'm not opposed to the idea of it in theory, but it really shouldn't be done among a group of people who don't know each other that well. I was bitching about it this weekend when I was shopping for it, like who is going to really care next week what kind of crappy $5 gift I got for them? I know I'm not. I was pleased with my person, as they're the one I know the best and are snarky like me, so I knew I could get them funny ridiculous things. I, however, was not so luck a recipient.

As if to prove my point that Secret Santa is a ridiculous idea, yesterday my gift was a little book called "Huggable Hounds." It has pictures of dogs and cutesy quotes next to them. Really? I don't even really like dogs, or things like this, which is just evidence that you shouldn't buy gifts for people you don't know. Now it is going to serve as a back up gift for my friends' white elephant gift Christmas party on Saturday.

3rd block's 5 minute poem

If I had a wish I would wish school away
and then I would never stay in it another day.
But then Ms. Pennell would cry
And she might just die
So I will just stay in school and let the time fly by.
