Can we do this?
I have two.
1) My DCP is now transitioning DS up to the next toddler room. While I should be excited about this, I am not--mainly because it means that I'll have to buy 4 Christmas gifts for teachers rather than just the 2 I had originally budgeted for.
2) I wish I could afford to buy clothes at Anthropologie. I get irrationally angry at the world that I cannot do so.

Re: FFFC
I do the same thing with the mail. Every time I check I'm hoping for some sort of money gift from somebody.... it never comes.

People that say "Yooj" instead of "Huge" irritate me. This also applies if you say "Yuman" instead of "Human".
Weird. I know.
This year we will be celebrating Christmas 4 different times. Tomorrow with DH's parents and family, the 23rd with my father, the 24th with my sister, her bf, nephew, her bf's parents and my mom. Then on the 25th we will be celebrating again with my mom and brother.
I can't stand the fact we have to do this because no one gets along. My parents divorced when I was older so I never knew what it was like to actually split holidays. I know DS is too young to understand what is going on but I feel bad dragging him everywhere and knowing this is how it is going to be for a long time.

Ugh, as in Mariah's versions of these songs. Awful.
HA!! I wasn't sure if anyone would even notice my incredibly flameworthy confession : )
I'm happy that I'm not the only person that notices such things.
For someone with such a powerful voice she sure does an awful job of showing it off.
I wish I could live down south during this time of year. If I never saw another northeastern winter again, I wouldn't miss it.
Also, I don't understand why cookies are so closely related to Christmas. I was invited to a x-mas party where they will be doing a cookie exchange. It took me 2 hours to make 3 trays of rum balls last night. I'm not signing up for anymore parties like this.
Also, I don't like when things become a "tradition". As in, I brought cake and caprese salad last year. So it means that I'm obligated to bring it again this year. Or if you offer to host a party at your house one year, everyone expects to gather at your home the following year.
I find it more annoying if one says "yooj " but still says "human". It's like they think they're cool or something (ex boss).
I hear ya on #2. Except I really want their home stuff too. I splurged on a sweater their once and wore it until it had holes in it.
my fffc: I keep checking my Amazon wish list {which only has items for DS} to see what my MIL bought for him {she asked me to make it} so I can figure out what to buy him.
I don't drink because I enjoy the taste of alcohol. I drink because I like the effects of alcohol. In other words, I won't drink a beer because I like beer--I'll drink a beer because it will likely lead to another beer and therefore a buzz.
I only drink one or two times a month so I don't see this attitude as problematic.
This is the same reason I drink.
I've been feeling the same way this Christmas. I think it doesn't help that we are in a pretty nasty place financially and I feel badly that I'm not able to buy the things I'd like for the people that I love.
1. One of our cats ran away last night for about 5 hours. I'd been telling DH for 5 years, ever since we got the cats, to supervise them when he takes them outside. They're indoor cats but they love eating the grass in the grassy knoll by our front porch. DH let the cats out and then went back in the house to get his phone. In the time it took him to do that, one of the cats took off. We spent hours last night looking for him and I was terrified that he'd be injured or killed by another cat or a raccoon. And it was well below freezing last night, so I was worried he would freeze to death.
I was incredibly pissed at DH for letting them out in the first place. The cat was my cat and I love him to bits. I was so upset that after the girls went to bed for the night, I told him to leave me alone, went upstairs to our room and shut the door.
About an hour later, DH comes in and wakes me up by putting my cat on my chest. I was happy kitty was safe, but I was still pissed at DH.
When I left for work this morning, I noticed a pile of stuff on our front porch.
DH had created a little cat bed for my cat, just in case he couldn't find him last night and so kitty would have a warm and safe place to sleep. He also put out a little bowl of food.
That made me feel super guilty for being pissed at DH.
2. I agree that the hippopotamus song is dumb. "I'm getting nuttin' for Christmas" is infinitely better.

I also drink for the buzz, but the buzz lately has resulted in massive headaches and generally feeling like crap.
Alcohol has decided it hates me and wants me to never consume it again.

Me as well. I don't drink unless I am planning to get a buzz. Which I do about once a month. There is a benefit to having a DH that thinks he is too cool to go into a bar.
This. Even if I wanted to bring something else I can't because I'm already slated to bring the "traditional" item.
I had this happen before. I switched up my drink and everything became ok again! Try something new. Try something blue!
This is going to sound horrible. I took a new job in May and absolutely LOVE it! When I left my old company, I had some people that said I wasn't qualified for this new job, blah blah. They are clearly just jealous.
My new job requires me to provide support to my old company. It's fun watching people who criticized me before look stupid when they submit an incident they say is "wrong" when clearly it isn't. I respond very nicely and when they feel stupid, I feel better.

Haha this cracked me up.
My FFC: I have gummy bears soaking in vodka in my fridge right now. I am a little sad I can't eat them tonight especially with the way the workday is going.
I'm from Maine, but for the last 11 years have lived in warmer climates (I am in New Mexico now). I never thought I would miss the snow, but I do. Especially around this time of year. Christmas just doesn't seem the same without snow.

My DH uses those pronunciations and it drives me batty. I correct him every time he does it.
On the Yooj/Huge debate:
The word "yutes" will always be funny:
Vinny Gambini: It is possible that the two yutes...
Judge Chamberlain Haller: ...Ah, the two what? Uh... uh, what was that word?
Vinny Gambini: Uh... what word?
Judge Chamberlain Haller: Two what?
Vinny Gambini: What?
Judge Chamberlain Haller: Uh... did you say 'yutes'?
Vinny Gambini: Yeah, two yutes.
Judge Chamberlain Haller: What is a yute?
Vinny Gambini: [beat] Oh, excuse me, your honor...
[exaggerated]
Vinny Gambini: Two YOUTHS.

The guy that played the judge (his name escapes me) has one of the most authentic Southern accents I've seen portrayed on film. And IIRC, he was just as convincing as an old Mainer in Pet Semetary.
I say I only want 1 child, but really I'm secretly jealous of all you ladies who are pregnant again. I want Elijah to have a sibling but I'm too afraid I will end up with another crappy baby daddy/husband.
In fact I just stay away from men all together. true story.
LOL! I love My Cousin Vinny.
