Just a heads up.

I plan on doing some sort of year end retrospective.  Possibly even a list of some sort.

Don’t mind me.  Just be prepared to learn about my year.

#Now it will never happen.

I was wearing the “I have given up” beard. Now that I have shaved my neck I have the “I still don’t give a shit, but I’m a lumberjack so fuck you” beard.

Mickey's.

Got early lunch at Mickey’s diner in Saint Paul this morning.  Old Chicago roommate was in town visiting, so before he headed out we got some food.

Love that place.

Tonight I have to work.  I don’t want to, but it is the better of my two jobs, so I am glad that I only have to work there.  About to have a long weekend in which I will feverishly look for a new job.  Maybe something in an office.  Maybe something that pays a livable wage.  Should have found a really good job before I moved.  Lesson learned.

Love you, and please say hi.  Let’s chat.  Let’s get together.  Let’s get coffee.  I’d love to.  I have time.  I am a interesting person.  With hobbies.  I love adventure.

I hear you do to.

Fell asleep in church.

Merry Christmas.

I think my mom finally gave up on trying to get my family to church on Christmas because we inevitably fell asleep, and my sister and I were like the Rivers on the Red Carpet - just being completely snarky and laughing at people.

Yeah.  When I wasn’t asleep.  I was staring at my sister until she laughed.  My dad slept the whole time I think.  Then I made hand puppets for a while with my mom.  I guess none of us wanted to be there, but my mom still felt that we had to go.
