a couple of days off is always a good thing

Dec 23rd: well i'm glad all THAT's over...no more Christmas related packing and shipping for me. (or so i thought...)

Dec 24th: sure was nice to sit around the house for a few days, eat cookies and relax. Didn't go anywhere. Didn't do anything. It was fabulous. Well I take that back, we did go see Narnia on Christmas eve. Austin said it was cheesy but you know that's part of the charm. Of course a movie about kids hiding in a wardrobe and popping out in a magical kingdom is somewhat cheesy. As is the book it's based on. And all the others after it are based on equally cheesy premises. But hey, nothing wrong with it. I have no complaints, and granted the last time I read the book was 6th grade, but I don't think they butchered anything too badly.

Dec 25th: like I was saying, boy am i liking all this lounging around. weather's lousy anyhow although i did get motivated to walk around the neighborhood a little bit.
can you believe i still can harvest some herbs out of my garden at this time of year? granted they're mainly things like rosemary, but i can also count on sage, chives, celery, and thyme. there's a hawthorne tree across the street that's sparse, but the haws taste almost like apples. they're the best tasting hawthorns around.

Dec. 26: i'm a retard. i thought i had to work today. ha! i went and hiked all that way and opened up the store and realized we were supposed to be closed. shit. i'm so silly.

Dec. 27: okay now it's back to work for real this time. and boy oh boy does it suck. i totally feel sorry for anyone who works in retail right now...i didn't realize there were so many procrastinators. i think we had more people up in our hair after christmas than before. and i broke yet another thermos. what a craptastic day indeed.
