Mako's Message: So… Let's talk current events. Osama Bin Ladden was killed on May 1st(Mayday mayday!). This is awesome. I could give you a list of reasons why, but I wont. I will however say that I have a little over five "months" to figure out what Mindy will have to say about this. Which is unfortunate, since it'll feel weird to have her excitedly rant about it when she get's here… that is a really weird concept to think about… hmm… perhaps I should try to come up with a May Day Holiday Bonus… Eh. No. That'd be…lame.
Anyway, due to an erratic work schedule over the last two weeks that I expect to continue for the foreseeable future, and the children return home from their…vacation, the updates may suffer in frequency and quality. Hopefully this won't be the case, but just a heads up.
God damn. Are we really only one week into December? One fucking week? It feels like I've been seeing Christmas decorations for a month. Hell, I probably have. I wouldn't be surprised if it started after Halloween.
It's funny, the last time I checked, I actually liked Christmas. Hell, I've liked pretty much every Holiday. I was just never slammed face first in to them. I'd been an observer. The Holidays went on around me. I watched them happen. I wasn't surrounded by them.
And dear god Christ am I surrounded.
All the decorations at school, in the neighborhood, the adds, and the music. Dear god the music. Marcus has the radio playing on the All-Christmas-Music station. All the time. Everyday.
With Daddy, we just had a plastic tree we put up every year. That was pretty much it. We barely watched any TV at all so we only saw a few adds each year. The only time we really did get much Christmas was when we went out shopping.
Now… now it's everywhere. I'm surrounded. I'm already going nuts and there's still two more weeks until Christmas.
Still haven't been able to get Dave's present either.
I wonder if he's getting me anything… We never talked about it, I just decided to get him something. I know he and Katie will be exchanging gifts. Will he be getting gifts for Marty and Todd? Should I? Probably. I should get presents Angela and Jessi… fuck Snooki. I'll get Katie a card. Of course I need to get Marcus something, I just have no idea what.
Will Marcus give me money to get people gifts though, or will I have to dip into my stash? How would I explain how I got Marcus' gift if we won't give me money to get him one? I guess I could just make him breakfast or something and keep whatever else I get hidden from him.
My god this is a pain in the ass.
At least I have my night out with Dave. One night a week that I get to be myself.
God I wish we could go out more. I keep trying to just be a normal girl, I really am. I think I'm getting closer to it, but I'm not a normal girl. I just want to scream sometimes. I feel so free with him. Of course, when I'm alone with him, I have to fight off urges to jump him, but that's kind of fun.
I just want to get to christmas. All this craziness will end. No more insane work loads. No more adds. No more fucking Christmas music. I'll have a nice winter break. Hopefully see Dave more. Start a fresh new year for my new life.
Bleh.
