I will update this post throughout the day.
THERE MUST BE A SURGE TODAY! Where is my phalanx of heavy infantry? These are the times I really need a boyfriend to be a willing slave. Although, I really enjoy being single. I don't have to deal with that pesky thing known as compromise. It can be my way all the time. I am babbling. MUST CONCENTRATE on decorating even though the small roast I tossed in the crock pot smells heavenly. I think I will do a a side of roasted squash (grown at the Petulant Farm and stored in the freezer), broccoli and onions. AND CHEESY TATERS! I must have CHEESY TATERS. Here I am babbling again. All that dancing yesterday made me ravenous today.
Here is a pic of about 40% I am facing. I have yet to pull everything from the garage. One Christmas, friends kept giving me Absente and the gift boxes make handy containers for beaded garland. I had real absinthe in Europe but could only drink it in small quantities. I am not a big fan of anise. There I go babbling again.
It took two episodes of Buffy (Season 2, ep. 7 & 8) before I got out of bed.
Mental Note: STAY OFF PHONE TODAY!
War in Defense of Christmas: Day One, Day Two, Day Three.
1:47 PM: One Buffy episode later, I managed to place ribbon on tree; remove ribbon from tree; place beads on tree; stare at tree and drift into somnabulism. I think I would rather drink Mountain Dew, eat Cheetos and watch Buffy. I am so healthy!
2:40 PM: Oh kittens, I have a problem. I spent thirty minutes trying to find ornament hangers. In a closet I found a STASH of decorations I bought last year during the after Christmas sales. I really need to find a support group. At the rate I progress, I fear this WAR will last well into Advent. If I can finish ONE tree today I will be very happy.
I did find my ornament hangers. I also use ones that are sorta shaped like a treble clef. I am certain I bought these at the Dillard's sale last year.
3:11 PM: I just unpacked some of my favorite ornaments. I wish I had more musical instruments. Sigh...
Higher resolution here.
4:37 PM: I got distracted by Ted, but still working on this ONE tree. Ornament placement is a tricky business and satisfaction ain't here yet. The roast was DELICIOUS btw.
I just want to go to sleep. HA!
5:45 PM: I am walking away for the day. There are some holes on that tree that are driving me mad. I need to develop a system of ornament dispersion amongst all the trees that creates a balance and other ornaments do not feel neglected. HA! Such thoughts require a hot bath and a couple more episodes of BUFFY.
I was cleaning out my email and I missed a VERY IMPORTANT EMAIL from World Net Daily on Friday. I think you will all be delighted to know that "Liberals are clinically mad, concludes top shrink." Update: I emerged from my daze and realized the damn book is over two years old. So, I guess I have been crazy for two years now. Oh well...
WASHINGTON – Just when liberals thought it was safe to start identifying themselves as such, an acclaimed, veteran psychiatrist is making the case that the ideology motivating them is actually a mental disorder.
"Based on strikingly irrational beliefs and emotions, modern liberals relentlessly undermine the most important principles on which our freedoms were founded," says Dr. Lyle Rossiter, author of the new book, "The Liberal Mind: The Psychological Causes of Political Madness." "Like spoiled, angry children, they rebel against the normal responsibilities of adulthood and demand that a parental government meet their needs from cradle to grave."
While political activists on the other side of the spectrum have made similar observations, Rossiter boasts professional credentials and a life virtually free of activism and links to "the vast right-wing conspiracy."
For more than 35 years he has diagnosed and treated more than 1,500 patients as a board-certified clinical psychiatrist and examined more than 2,700 civil and criminal cases as a board-certified forensic psychiatrist. He received his medical and psychiatric training at the University of Chicago.
Rossiter says the kind of liberalism being displayed by both Barack Obama and his Democratic primary opponent Hillary Clinton
can only be understood as a psychological disorder.
Happy Mental Disorders Kittens!
And Sweet Dreams!
