It's pouring rain here, but they're having the Santa Claus parade tonight. They had the one in the city that I go to college in this morning... In the pouring rain! Tomorrow is the Toronto Christmas parade, and it's supposed to rain tomorrow too, and it might even turn into snow.

I'm sitting here chocolate truffles from the dinner my mom took me out to, they're good too. I don't feel like doing much of anything, it's cold... I'll probably just go watch my Torchwood DVD's, maybe I'll actually get past the first disc today :P

This entry is about yesterday....

I woke up to take my Mom to Walmart and the mall to find that Brad Pitt was on Regis and Kelly? That was.... Um interesting...

Walmart and the mall weren't too busy, so then I had to run to Herbal Magic (which only took five minutes thankfully)... Everything is good on that front.

Got home to make my mom's Christmas presents (I burned her 6 George Jones CDs) only to find that I had no coloured ink for my printer... So I ran back up to Staples (which wasn't that busy, but I had to go through the Walmart parking lot to get there)... Got back and Kelly stopped in... She was leaving for Niagara on the Lake, so she couldn't take very long...

Then I spent the rest of the afternoon burning the CDs... The early years one was almost the death of me... It was the only one where I ended up with duds (three of them)... I didn't even watch GH, or get through my flist (and it wasn't that busy yesterday)... As it was, I had to go before I got the early years done...

Mom wanted to leave for church for 5:30, so I went and got ready and then spent my time waiting for her typing the songs to the CDs...

Then I ran outside with the garbage, only to leave my purse inside the can... So I didn't have my purse with me at the service...

I'm not as a big a fan of Grandview as I once was... And the only word I have to describe Brad is "jerk."

We came home, I found my purse, made my supper and proceeded to make the last of the CDs. Got that done, wrapped them and her other present, and finally settled down to watch tv...

I watched, "It's a Wonderful Life" and "Scott Baio is Single and 45." I was even up late enough to see the beginning of midnight mass at the Vatican...

Today is quieter, even though I couldn't get back to sleep this morning...

Mom is making the chicken I got, and I get to tackle blanching the cauliflower and broccoli....

I kind of want to see Sweeney, but I don't feel that great (I can't stop sneezing again and my eyes are red). It's also not playing in town...It's not that far out of town... I just... I mean I know I saw Blood Diamond last Christmas... But I felt better then

The woman I work with is acting like a 5 year old... Who am I kidding? She ALWAYS acts like this... It's just that she's really getting to me today. There is the stupid thing with the fax machine, if she doesn't want to pick up the faxes on the machine, that's fine, but picking them up looking at them and putting them back down? WTF? Then there is the thing with the printer, I was reprinting invoices and I turned around to get them, she's hunched over the machine (we share a printer, just the two of us, isn't that special?), when the printer stopped she picked up all of the papers (without looking at any of them) and proceeds to walk away... With all of MY invoices!! Then it stopped (I think she hit one of the buttons on the machine), I got it going again, cause I needed one more sheet of paper. Her report comes off and she takes ALL the pieces of paper AGAIN!!! Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr...........

I didn't feel like waiting so I reprinted my fax, to only turn around once I was done with the invoicing and see my fax on my desk... I rather forcefully threw it in the recycling... I hate sinking to her level, but I feel kinda gross today, and it was just not the right time to do that in my presence... Did I mention that this woman will be sixty five years old in March?? Anyone who reads this can be amazed... I also never want to hit anyone and certainly not anyone older than me, but if given the chance I would make an exception for her, ESPECIALLY today

There now that I have ranted about that... What else? My brother didn't come back again (why can't he just stay gone??)

And I am SO sick of internet brats! I won't be specific. I'm just ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! Granted I only came back to message boards and such in the last year or so, but when did people get so much meaner?? And why do people force their opinions on each other? Like it's some kind of cardinal rule set in stone? I have an open mind, and anyone who doesn't like it, can get over it!

I'm done now... Ate cold french fries and have to go back to work... I'm going to put up the Christmas decorations today, maybe that will cheer me up... Hmmmm.....

ETA: Okay, coming back to make a few more points... Internet brats, that don't agree with you or a certain group of people (fandom, what have you..)... Some things are *offensive*? Whatever! Just because you don't like something or don't agree, doesn't mean that it's wrong or it's bad...Even if it does go too far (which is usually an extreme case)... I just.... GRrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.. I guess what I am trying to say is live and let live people!
