Get The Lead Out
This time of year I always think that I am far, far behind where I should be. The apartment should be tidy, the creative juices should be flowing, the presents should have been bought and wrapped by last month, the Christmas card should be sent out. I should be reading books and watching movies all day long for Christ's sake. But then, everybody feels this way. That is why there are more suicides this time of year than any other. (Or that is what I hear anyway. It's probably not true at all, just like all the things you hear 'global warming'.) It's also why everybody is so happy come Christmas day - no more worrying about the build up. Unless you messed up and believed your wife when she said, "Let's just give each other Love this year."

The last line is hilarious. Even more hilarious when I consider that my man and I decided not to exchange gifts this year.
(Except I think I meant it...uh oh?)

I thought that last line was trite and derivitive. Since when do you make jokes about wives? What you should have said was "Take my wife joke, please!" And then you could mug to the camera like jerry lewis. You hack.

I think I will have to survey more people to get a more accurate reaction to my wife joke. How about we rate it on a scale of 1 to 17, where 9 is good and 11 is bad?
Marissa, if I were your husband I wouldn't believe you for a second even if you insist that you are being sincere. Maybe I’m too used to Marigold’s lies.
However, I believe Mandy hates it because she wouldn't know what it is like to be in a real relationship between two loving people that happen to have budget issues. She is a rich bitch that isn't loved by anybody. Oh, Boy! ROTFL! :o
Honk!

I'm gonna give Natalie a great big hug for Christmas!
I just beat an 'easy' online websudoku in 9 mins and 46 seconds. It made me happy. Last night, it took me over an hour to finish the one in the newspaper with the highest difficulty rating (5 star). Do you guys have them in the paper over there?

Wow, I am so much better at sodoku than cory is. Or steve, most likely. But not 43% of people who play it.

Wow, Mandy you are so much more of terrible person than Cory or I am. But not 43% of other people who look down their noses at even you.
At least you are mediocre at soduku. That probably makes up for you internet personality!
I think my best time is somewhere in the seven minutes. Don't pity me.
