In preparation for my travels to my very small family Christmas gathering (Ill be leaving tomorrow afternoon and will come back here on Christmas night very, very late):
A Almost ready. But not quite. Theres still a bit of shopping and packing to do. So why am I sitting here doing this? Because Im one of the worlds best procrastinators, thats why.
B Big suitcase. I gotta get the biggie out so that I can pack all my presents to take to my parents place tomorrow. And to haul my loot back here! Gah! Im terribly presumptuous, arent I? More like a 35-year-old spoiled brat.
C Cookies. Every year I bake those cream cheese press cookies with my mom. Wreath-shaped with red hot candies as the berries. I love them. I do. Mom and I got to talking and laughing and joking in the kitchen last year, and we screwed up the recipe! They came out blobby and misshapen. We ate them anyway!
D Dreaming of waking up in someones arms Christmas morning. Wont happen. But a girl can dream, cant she? Maybe this idea should also go under F for Fantasizing. Or W for wishing. P for praying??
E Eat. I do that well this time of year.
F Frost. Thats Jack, nipping at my nose (dont I wish).
G Grumble. What my brother does the whole time when we have these little family gatherings.
H Hope. I do have some left for the world.
I Ice. Heres to there not being any on the roads as I drive to the airport tomorrow. I just got my car out of the shop!
J Jelly. What I hope my belly doesnt shake like a bowl full of after this holiday season.
K Killer abs. Oops. Sorry. I was just thinking about Canuks stomach .the complete opposite of jelly belly.
L Lake. My parents live in a little lakeside community with lots of little old weekender cottages in their neighborhood. I love to walk down the windy roads and wave to the year-rounders. Interesting folk.
M Mistletoe. Ive had no mistletoe kisses this season. None. Nada. Zip. My lips are aching with mistletoe desire.
N Nookie. Likewise with the holiday celebratory sex.
O The big one. Do I even need to get into this one?
P Probability of getting Christmas nookie = 0%. Okay. Sorry .I just got carried away on a little tangent there.
[ahem]
Q Quiet. I love the calm, beautiful quiet when I wake up Christmas morning. Always have. Im sure I always will.
R Rest. Im sure Ill get some on the plane.
S Santa Baby, please bring me some holiday sweetness. Please?
T A Toast. To all of you, my OD friends. Heres to a safe, happy, and healthy holiday . *clink*
U Upheaval. What my year has been like .especially the last couple of months!
V Vent. Thank you, OD, for giving me a place to do this. Im sure my holidays will be less stressed because I have a spot to write it all out and send it all out into cyberland.
W Welcome Winter 2002!
X X-mas comes but once a year. Thank goodness.
Y Yawn. What I will be doing all day at work on the day after Christmas.
Z Zoo. I cant wait to get to the airport!
