Thank goodness it's not snowing.
The few days we had snow in this area sucked ass.
It was WAY to fucking cold and most people in this area can't drive for shit in the snow or ice.
The good thing was that it looked really pretty and the man got to work from home for a few days rather than risk life and limb trying to get to Seattle.

..and yes he's still doing the commute..least till we move up yonder.. no make that down yonder.
Hopefully it's before the New Year but it's so slow going, I'm beginning to wonder.
Of course with the Christmas season creeping up our asses to add to the stress doesn't help. Folks forget why we have the holiday and stress even more about buying shit. I'm not materialistic so it's not a big thing. I like the lights the smells and the food. Course that doesn't help my ass fat:) But at least I don't need a rag on a stick to wash myself....

Christmas does make me really miss my mom, though.
It's hard to fathom it'll be 4 years in January since she's been gone. It doesn't seem that long.
Time is supposed to heal wounds but I think with a loss of a loved one, time just scabs it over till your next big reminder that that person is no longer here to share something with. It does help to have some family members on eis close with. I have a few, the others...well I am the type to try and keep in touch but after awhile, when you're the only one calling or writing and ya have to initiate any contact it gets real old-real fast. The phone works both ways and if you don't have the time for me, the fuck if I'll bother to call you, either.

There appears to be progress on the Sperm Donor front...and I repeat "appears".
I'm betting his few acts of kindness and doing the right thing is a precursor to something that's probably no good.
I could be wrong and the leopard coulda changed his spots-But I doubt it.
Time will tell though. and I always seem to hold onto that thread of hope for folks. Though I've learned not to put my whole heart into that hope...even though that took years.

Although I've movin, Christmas and family stress, I don't have the stress of an upcoming wedding to add to it. A very dear friend who's more like a sister will be married in January. Though it is techinically her second (and his) marriage, it's probably closer to a first in all the ways that count.
I truly wish her and him all the best-though I Still don't know what they need as in wedding gifts so I may just send her a a case of Lube and a box of Calgon...or a big stuffed Winnie The Pooh bear:)

And if ever comes the day when I do "tie-the-knot", it won't be one of those huge affairs, as that's just not my thing and never has been.
I like to keep things simple. like a Justice of the Peace, a few friends, some family and leave it at that. But I will insist on the fella wearing a suit or tux. and if it takes nagging, whining, bitching, throwing a tizzy fit, it'll happen. (Hell, I'd even resort to that too often used by bitches tactic of crying....if that's what it takes.)
I don't see me having to worry about that anytime soon though, and that's okay.
I'm happy, and that's all that matters.


So if I don't get post to this thing again before Christmas, have a good one.
Enjoy the little things in life that make it all worth while, and smoke'em if ya got'em, green or other wise.
