I'm Back

Not that I was away, but I didn't write yesterday because I was in a sucky mood, and now, we just got back from -- are you ready? A cocktail party! I went to a cocktail party; can you believe it?

Okay, as Bill Maher would say, NEW RULE. If you live out in the middle of deep dark fucking nowhere, and there are no street lights and no lights on the street signs or anything, you cannot throw a party in the winter, or at any time of the year after dark. I'm just saying.

So it should have taken us 45 minutes to get there, but it took an hour and fifteen minutes because we couldn't find the damn place. When we did, we turned into the driveway and the sign on the gate said to pull up to the gate and it would open. And it did. I don't mean a garden gate, I mean a big high gate attached to tall stone pillars. A gate.

This house was just big. The closest I can come to comparing it would be to Richard and Emily Gilmore's house on the Gilmore Girls. The guest house -- there was a guest house -- was roughly the size of my house. We sat for the evening in the one of the smaller rooms, which I guess is the bar room, about the size of my living room, but with a higher ceiling.

Two people live in this house. I don't get it.

Anyway, my $72 Home Depot Christmas tree looks very nice, and I'm happy with it. K and I did our food shopping today too, so tomorrow looks like a relaxing day, other than a brief visit to my sister to drop something off. We even went to Target today, so, no shopping tomorrow!

And now to collapse.
