Normally some things in life bring us through emotional rollercoasters.<\/p>\n
For me it was this weekend, in particular. I laughed my ass off all Thursday night, and after work I was home just long enough to get the mail and go to bed. On Friday night I got home in time for a bite to eat and then I accompanied my sis and her hubby to the mall, which of course was crowded (god help me\u2013I hate malls AND crowds) The only nice thing about Christmas shopping at the mall is being able to get all the stuff I need from the toy store, B. Dalton, Dayton\u2019s, Sam Goody, Sears, Bath & Body something-or-other, all under one roof and in two hours.<\/p>\n
Upon my arrival home, I checked my voice messages and heard that I was invited over to a friend\u2019s house for an inpromptu gathering, which would consist of perhaps appetizers and a movie and some visiting. It wound up consisting of jello shots, exchanging gifts and general merriment that turned into just plain silliness.<\/p>\n
You see, my friend had made buddy-buddy with the guy that runs the sushi bar downstairs from her place, and she invited him and his friend up for a visit, so then there were five of us including them. The jello shots were sooo not shots, man, these \u2019shots\u2019 were made by pouring the mixture into coffee cups and you couldn\u2019t just toss the jello back, you had to eat it with a spoon. So even though there was a huge amount of green jello in coffee cups, for some reason we were still able to kill all those, and ended up downing the last of the Budweiser that was in the fridge. Then after some good old getting to know you b.s., we played a short but rousing game of charades which had quickly (and scarily) morphed into this freaky \u201cHey, name a movie so some of us can act out a part of it and then you hafta decide who\u2019s version was better\u201d game (?!)<\/p>\n
The night ended with everybody crammed into the couch and loveseat, in front of the TV, which was showing a rented copy of \u2018Scary Movie\u2019, and me falling asleep to it. So much for a review from moi.<\/p>\n
Today I got up early and dashed off to job numbah two, where I put in a couple hours and received my last check before the holiday.<\/p>\n
Now I think something\u2019s wrong with me. I just sat through a chickflick on the Lifetime channel. I bawled. I am surprised at myself. I\u2019d expect more from myself! Little did I know the affect Lifetime\u2019s Movie Marathon would have on me\u2026.a slightly neurotic, distracted, busy, but otherwise normal, and healthy woman.<\/p>\n
Perhaps it\u2019s nothing, probably just premenstrual, (I hope). \u2018Cause these flicks are REALLY reaching, lemme tell you. The first one was that \u201cFools Rush In\u201d from back in like, \u201895 or something, the one with Matthew Perry and Salma Hyek. The other one is on now, that \u201cMrs Winterbourne\u201d with Shirley Maclaine, Ricki Lake and Brendan Frasier.<\/p>\n
I need to go to bed soon and tomorrow I am up early to wrap these damned gifts I got from the mall, and try to figure out why my tree is only partially lit. I think there\u2019s a bad bulb in there somewhere. I hope it\u2019s just not plugged in all the way.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m out \u2019til later\u2026<\/p>\n
P.S. – Why on earth would someone buy this?
