Interesting day today. Got to spend it at the home branch with the Queen of Awesome herself.
And us working together is even more rare than myself and Slim Shady being paired up.
Needless to say the day flew by.
Got to catch up on a lot of stuff, though I kept getting blamed for things getting broken. Self-checks, Koha holds queue, etc. geez, think the building is still mad at me for leaving.
I miss the good old home branch but with the work branch there's so much more going on all the time. Which is good but can be bad as well.
After an extremely fast 9 hours the boyfriend picked me up and we headed over to Grams place for our annual pitch tournament Christmas party.
Every year it's a huge thing. Gag gifts, pizza, card playing, family stories - you know the usual holiday cheer. Got some interesting presents. A bath mat from my bathroom floor, candy, wine glass, dancing baby... crap. i just got rid of that thing. Its on.
Story behind the dancing baby is a bit of a mystery. It originated around 15 years ago and has been making the rounds ever sense. And its not like a nice cute doll. its ugly. and it dances. Well, its two pieces so when you shake it its upper body flails and it looks like its dancing. and its still in the package. If you get it you're stuck with it for a year before you wrap it up and give it to someone else.
Favorite sister in law and I were pitch partners as usual and dominated...the last game. The game we ended with zero points was a little questionable but to be fair it was much better than the negative score the hand before.
We made some crazy 7 and 8 bids to pull off the final victory. Got a stress ball and a bar of soap favor prizes as apparently working and taking classes is stressful and the soap was a present for those who swear, which I do occasionally.
Sketch is laughing I can tell.
But not in front of Grams. She did pretty well tonight with all the excitement. Usually she gets tired early but she lasted the whole time.
Alright on to the music. Off tomorrow so excited to sleep in. Have a good one.
Another slight change as last year's included Charlie Brown and as I can't post it twice in a row I'm switching it out with Run Rudolph Run.
Christmas Music That Doesn't Suck: Day Eight
Christmas song - Mel Torme and Judy Garland
can never go wrong with judy garland.
Blue Christmas - She and Him
love these guys.
Run Rudolph Run - Cee-Lo Green
yes more Cee-Lo, sorry Sketch.
For last year's Day Eight go here

"i ain't touching her heat button."
Ah, Thanksgiving.
Yet another family function filled with food, fun and frivolity.
Say that five times fast.
You can stop now.
Our family is pretty zen compared to others - well, at least the adults are. The kids on the other hand - there was a lot of running and screaming and video games and bingo while the rest of us were content to watch football, the Bond marathon, and look through all the ads in today's paper coming up with our own Christmas lists.
It's become this cheesy tradition and this year we all basically brought our own papers which made it even more entertaining.
Though last year's bicker and banter over who got to see what first was also amusing.
Add to that Second Sister's great app suggestion - Christmas List Pro - in which you can keep track of the people you're buying for, what you got them and how much you spent. There's more if you pay for the premium version but really that's all I needed. Got a lot of good ideas from today but the problem with me is that lately I have no idea what I want.
Book shelves and luggage is all I can come up with, and really, neither of those screams a good time.
Practical yes, party no.
Not that I'm a big party girl like at all really.
But you gotta have some fun stuff too and before that pretty much all I got was fun stuff. Video gaming systems, movies, CD's, computers, signed Charmed scripts, etc. Now I'm old and am boring apparently because before I was able to list off 5 movies that I wanted or video games that had just came out.
Right now all I got is luggage and book shelves.
And then of course my yearly Santa requests...
An endless supply of Diet Dr. Pepper...
A litter box that cleans itself...
yeah know, just the basics.
But not knowing makes it hard for people to buy for me cause I'm not able to give them suggestions, SO! Within the next week I'm gonna be searching ads and online trying to find good fun stuff.
And if you see something you think I'd like send me a note.
Where was I before this tangent?
Oh right, Thanksgiving stories.
Made some interesting memories tonight, slept in 'til 10:30. Woke up and turned on the parade - about thirty seconds later Second Sister called asking what I was doing so I was able to say "watching the parade" instead of saying "shutup i'm sleeping it's my vacation" isn't that nice?
Oldest and Second Sister's families arrived first, then I went to pick up the great aunt but kept getting phone calls about stuff I needed to pick up while in town. The lady at the counter kept laughing at me cause I kept coming back and trying to balance ice, chips and a paper. And listening to my ringtone for when my mother calls.
Let's just say it's highly entertaining, but awkward in social situations when you don't know the people around you.
So I picked her up and successfully jammed the walker into my backseat - always entertaining - then came home so we could eat. We jammed out, watched the Lions lose in overtime - what the hell is up with Suh? You know, when he was here in Nebraska he was the hero, he was awesome. Now he just has some serious anger issues.
The great aunt played bingo with the kiddos and apparently won all the games. Though I laughed cause they were playing with apple jacks as the markers.
This was sometime after the siblings had taken of the couches/chairs in the living room and had ads spread all over the place. But I found Squirt some cool Yoda slippers and Bek a giant stuffed rainbow unicorn plus came up with some other ideas as well. We had Bond on in the background later on - Goldeneye then something else, we weren't paying too much attention to the second one. I just remember it had Teri Hatcher in it.
But then we got distracted ate supper and played pitch instead. Dad and Oldest Sister challenged Bubby and I. They won the first set by a lot, we edged them out in the second set and then SHOT THE MOON and won the third.
I had AKQ962 in diamonds somehow majestically before the deck so I passed that on to Bubby. We dominated.
Oh and big Joe made a house out of dominoes it was pretty cool.
And then everyone took off around 8ish.
The boyfriend spent today home with the flu. I know, I was totally sad but I think he was content to lay on the couch and watch TV. I told BossLady I should have introduced them because she wants to catch the flu. Apparently she enjoys being sick and spending time on the couch. It can be relaxing but I'll pass on all the symptoms, thanks.
Actually she's not the first one who wants to meet him. Around work he's known as "the boy" "the boyfriend" or "the yorkster" which I enjoy. I was told to bring him to work some time though I'm not sure I want to subject him to the Spanish Inquisition from some of the more protective ones. I quite like this one, you can scare the other creepers away.
All in all it was a pretty great day except for the missing boyfriend part. Told some humorous stories, my favorite I'll get in trouble for posting but I'm going to anyway cause I'm still laughing was when Mom first got the new mower - and it's one of those massive riding mowers so very different than our previous one - she hit the pickup and she came inside and told my brother to move the pickup and "while you're at it, pick up the mailbox too."
Needless to say I did a lot of the mowing from then on.
The title is a quote from my brother. Mom has this fake fireplace unit inside our actual fireplace - bizarre but effective - and it has these lights that look like an actual fire but it's also a space heater. My brother was complaining it wasn't doing its job so I told him he needed to hit the heat button. He refused.
After all that Mom and I jammed out on the couch and watched that Michael Jackson documentary Bad 25, it was interesting. Totally didn't know Sheryl Crow sang backup to him on tour and that Annie are you okay was a reference to a CPR dummy. Totally makes the song different after hearing that.
apparently he made "short films" not video. cool to see the influence tie-ins now that I know what to look for. though i still have no idea how they did 7:14.
even though that is a classic the version i grew up with is this one:
love the sidewalk.
sleeping in tomorrow then watching the husker game while putting up the trees, woohoo!

I just want you, Oh darling, I just want you.
Happy Christmas Eve-Eve!
Worked until 4, did more supply rounds, filled out my first request to purchase form, woohoo! Then went over my TAB stuff with my YS mentor, she's great so she walks me through all the steps and answers all my stupid questions.
After work I picked up Grams and we met up with the rest of the family at the hotel for our pitch tournament. I partnered up with my favorite sister-in-law and we actually did pretty decent. We dominated the Bash Brothers in the first round, though they went on to win the tournament but we ended at the middle table. I think we won the most games, or maybe the second most.
It's just all about timing. You have to win at the head table during the last round, so you could completely suck the first few rounds then win three in a row and you'll jump from loser's table to middle table to winner of the high table. Lull people into a false sense of security then smack then down like the hand of god. But Teina and I do none of that lull stuff. She bid 7 our first hand and we made 9.
But we rocked it. About time too, the last time we were partners was Thanksgiving for pinochle and we got owned. It was sad.
We were the classiest so we got pretzel M&M's. Bash Brothers were hot so they got hot tamales, red hots and a gift certificate to Chili's. Oldest Sister and Squirt were cold so they got light up snowpeople.
Second year in a row for Oldest Sister. Though last year she was partnered with Dad.
Brother and Bubby won the Most Obnoxious award.
The surprise of the evening was when Second Sister and her husband ended at the winner's table when this was the first time he actually played pitch with us.
Quote of the night:
"Better books than booze" about our homeless population that visits the library.
So we rocked the night with our cranberry margaritas, ate our pizza, little smokies and peanut butter balls, and laughed a lot.
Cool Aunt rocks for setting this all up. Year Two was a success, looking forward to Year Three.
Okay, where were we?
Christmas Music that Doesn't Suck: Day Ten
"Wish List" Neon Trees
yes you know them from "Animal" but this song is fantastic.
it's their own christmas song! that they actually wrote! who writes new christmas music? ever? people just revamp old stuff, so I was excited about this one.
"God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen" Glee Cast Version
Mercedes and Santana rock it. and of course Rachel. Rachel's always fantastic. Even though she's really obnoxious and a lot of time I just want to smack her.
"White Christmas" The Drifters
if you're a Home Alone nut like me you'll recognize this one from the aftershave scene. I love those movies. Well, the good ones.
The first one rocks it's a total classic,
the second one's crap though I do love Tim Curry,
the third one's surprisingly fantastic Alex D Linz pulled it off,
the fourth is crap and that's all I have to say about that. You probably didn't know there WAS a fourth. Don't watch it. It's awful.
"Welcome Christmas" Glee Cast Version
yes there are two glee selections, but no She & Him, so there! I can't help it if their remakes are fantastic.
the whole Christmas album is pretty great, both of them now that the second one is out.
"How the Grinch Stole Christmas" (the classic version no offense jim carrey) is an essential part of Christmas. I watch the movie and read the book. Though I don't need the actual book present as I can recite it without looking.
That and Doris Day. I listen to a lot of her music as well.
But it still doesn't feel like Christmas without the snow. Just an extended weekend. Is this what it feels like every year for people who live in civilizations without snow? like Florida?
Looking forward to sleeping in tomorrow, woohoo!

Christmas Came Indeed!
Even though I didn't watch the Grinch - will have to tomorrow - or listen to any Doris Day - left cd at apartment - or watch Home Alone - watched old dvr'd xmas episodes of favorite shows instead, Christmas did indeed come.
My great aunt came out after church and we played some pitch and watched the parade, (hooray for Amber Riley!!) Dad and I won 3 games out of 4. After she left we opened presents, ate more food, mom and dad danced to Squeezebox - long story - then we laid around and watched tv. Well, I laid around and watched, Mom fell asleep in her chair as usual, and I'm sure Dad watched football or something in the other room. We're very social. The presents were fun, Dad was excited about his The Who cd which he put in immediately and Mom liked all her stuff from me - asti, earrings and bath n body stuff. Some of my highlights were pajama pants, a sweatshirt with headphones in it as the strings, fancy vodka with shot glasses (my aunt picked out. mom was like "how does kathy know you collect shot glasses?" Cause I got one in Kansas when we went to the last Husker game down there. Mom thinks it's bizarre that I collect them but I got it from my brother - he does it too.) and wine in a bottle shaped like a cat. Seriously. It's awesome. I'm going to have to upload a picture.
All-in-all it was a good day.
Xmas episodes I've watched this weekend - NCIS, The Closer, Bones, How I Met Your Mother, Glee, NCIS Los Angeles
Wow, I totally need a life. But it's Christmas. I'm entitled to be lazy, right?
I'm actually kind of sad that it's over. It always feels so weird, that you wait so long for it to come and in like 24 hours it's over. Oh well, technically ours isn't over since our family xmas isn't until New Years. Since all my siblings have in-laws and lives and stuff it was the only free day. This means I get to go back to work this week and buy more stuff, woohoo!
I'm still missing something for my sister. And I think I'm gonna go find more for mom since we're getting her one big thing - which she'll love - but I dunno how much other things they're getting her. And I gave her all my other stuff today.
I'm not allowed to buy my niece anything more - or so my sister says. I've spent far too much on her, but honestly I spoil her. It's true. She's the oldest and she thinks I'm the cool aunt and she's funny. So's my nephew. They're both really funny. But she takes after me with the writing and the one-liners she's stolen from me and the red highlights - her mother hates me for that last one. I hope she doesn't inherit my talent for procrastination. And she's taller than me already. I honestly can't stand next to her anymore.
I mentioned last time that I love the songs. That's one of my favorite parts of Christmas, right after crazy moments with family. My all-time favorite xmas song is Oh Holy Night - well, depending on who's singing it. Christina Aguilara's version isn't my favorite, Lea Michelle did it justice on the Glee xmas cd. Another gift from mom. But my second favorite is the 12 Days of Christmas. Relient K has a great version but no matter which version I listen to the only ones I end up singing over the actual lyrics are Jeff Foxworthy's or Janice Dickinson's. Weird combination, huh? Especially when it ends up as something like "5 Flannel Shirts, 4 Italian Suits, 3 Former Husbands, 2 Giant Breasts and some parts to a Mustang GT."
Since it's officially Christmas I'll share my favorites.
Number one xmas video on my list is of course Janice Dickinson's. I die every time I watch it. It's highly inappropriate but it's sooo funny.
I love 1:03 I literally fall over laughing at that part and 1:13...and 2:12...too funny.
Second is Jeff Foxworthy's Redneck Xmas which you can find here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VJOe3CXE-mA
Is it just me or does the Mustang GT part recipient look suspiciously like Jim Carrey?
And a close third is the Indian 12 Days of Christmas. Very funny. And catchy...
Love the look on the wife's face.
Peace on earth.

Happy Christmas Eve Eve!
Friends Phoebe reference.
Another journey back home means another list of artists my cat does not enjoy. The new list includes Bonnie Tyler, All American Rejects, Snoop Dogg, Owl City, Cobra Starship, and yet he went completely silent for Dracula from Houston - was he in shock or did it drive him crazy? Oh Carter.
So, home for the holidays, woohoo! The trees are set up, my presents are almost all wrapped, my cat is sleeping happily in the basement (his favorite room of the house) and I'm off to bed.
Today was great - line of the day came from my boss. First thing she says to me, comes up behind me and whispers "Do you have a hangover?" "WHAT?!" I told her about the pitch tournament yesterday and how there's usually a lot of drinking. It was just funny at the time because I was like, "Do I look that bad?!" Oh Superwoman.
The pitch tourney was still the highlight of the week. That and Grams opening presents. She ended up with a Huskers sign for her "apartment" door compliments of the grab bag. She said she'd put it up and then said "They probably don't even know who the Huskers are. They're OLD People!" The tone of voice when she said 'old people' made me keel over. I wasn't the only one. Oh Grams.
But tonight when I got home Dad of course made me watch some dude playing guitar on HeeHaw which is what he does every time I come home, and Mom all the sudden broke out with "These are old people! Who are the Huskers?!" Hilarious.
Hope you have a happy christmas eve eve. And that I remember to post again tomorrow night.

Another journey back home means another list of artists my cat does not enjoy. The new list includes Bonnie Tyler, All American Rejects, Snoop Dogg, Owl City, Cobra Starship, and yet he went completely silent for Dracula from Houston - was he in shock or did it drive him crazy? Oh Carter.
So, home for the holidays, woohoo! The trees are set up, my presents are almost all wrapped, my cat is sleeping happily in the basement (his favorite room of the house) and I'm off to bed.
Today was great - line of the day came from my boss. First thing she says to me, comes up behind me and whispers "Do you have a hangover?" "WHAT?!" I told her about the pitch tournament yesterday and how there's usually a lot of drinking. It was just funny at the time because I was like, "Do I look that bad?!" Oh Superwoman.
The pitch tourney was still the highlight of the week. That and Grams opening presents. She ended up with a Huskers sign for her "apartment" door compliments of the grab bag. She said she'd put it up and then said "They probably don't even know who the Huskers are. They're OLD People!" The tone of voice when she said 'old people' made me keel over. I wasn't the only one. Oh Grams.
But tonight when I got home Dad of course made me watch some dude playing guitar on HeeHaw which is what he does every time I come home, and Mom all the sudden broke out with "These are old people! Who are the Huskers?!" Hilarious.
Hope you have a happy christmas eve eve. And that I remember to post again tomorrow night.

Pitch tourney + The Hero of Canton, the Man They Call Jayne.....
Ohhh, emotional high. Such a good day. Went to work downtown this morning, and aside from the creepy guy in the lab staring at me (like i moved and his eyes followed, it was creepy) that was fun. Short and sweet. Then went to Barnes and Noble for some last minute shopping, then came home to wrap and THEN family xmas at my aunts! Not like immediate family but aunts and uncles xmas. We used to have these big pitch tournaments that lasted all night and we thought we should bring them back. It was awesome. I got partnered up with my cousin and we finished the night at the winner's table! Yeah!! Took down my undefeated sister and brother but then lost to my nephew and sister-in-law. My nephew somehow ended up with the perfect hand on the last hand. AKQJJ2. Seriously. Who gets those? Ever?! So they won toasters for being "hot" and my dad and sister got snowmen for being "cold". They were the ultimate losers. Ha. Too much fun.
And I got some awesome presents. This wicked cool hat from my aunt. I loved it so much I wore it for the rest of the night - tournament included. Got a bunch of pics taken, will have to upload one. It's very "the man they call jayne" except black and multi-colored instead of yellow and orange. If you get the reference.
Tomorrow is work then head to the farmhouse with my cat and all my presents since I have 24-26th off. Woohoo!
Now is eating breadsticks, watching the Nanny and then crashing.
In case you don't get the reference, here's Adam Baldwin singing the song from his favorite episode and wearing his hat. Video of the week.
Have a merry xmas!
