Seriously?!?!
Ok just a quick little vent: why is there a chick hanging out in my area wearing slippers instead of regular shoes?!?! This IS an office isn't it!? Not her living room!??! Casual dress does NOT mean your pajamas people! Have some sense!! If I can manage to get all THIS (finger pointing at my fabulous self!) ready and looking good everyday the least you can do is throw on some regular shoes and not your house slippers and bathrobe!!! Gosh!!!

Story Time!!!
Ok I’ve got a lot to catch up on people so hunker yourselves down for story time!!! Let’s start with some Christmas items!!! I started my annual candy making project yesterday and things are in full swing!! I’m in a bit of a time crunch here so I’ve had to use my time wisely! You see when you’re popular like me and have events every night it’s hard to find the time to get candy making done so you’re forced to squeeze it in wherever you can!
Here's all my candy making provisions-I've got a lot to do!!!
Yesterday during lunch I was a multi-tasking fool!! With one hand I was stirring a pot of melting chocolate and with the other I stirred my lunch! Then after my lunch was done cooking I began pouring my chocolate out onto the pan while sneaking bites of my lunch in where I could-don’t worry that at one point I had a mouthful of piping hot noodles but I soldiered on!! I managed to get 2 of my candies made, my lunch eaten, my mouth burned, and the kitchen mostly cleaned up! Go me!!! After work I began working on some of my other candies until Jon came over to help me make caramels!! This was my 1st attempt at making caramels and it showed!! Jon read off the directions for me and I put everything in the pot. Side note: Jon Judy is a caramel making expert and I don’t know why but it is so random that he makes them!!
Ok back to me!! I get everything in the pot, turn on the heat, and hunker down for the alleged 2 hours that it takes to make these caramels. Jon stayed in the kitchen for the 1st few minutes and chatted with me while I stirred but quickly got bored of that and plopped down in the living room to watch a movie. About 20 minutes later I look down at my pot of boiling caramel and it’s awfully dark for how long it had been cooking. It’s burning!!! Jon comes in to take a look and sure enough I had somehow managed to cook the 2 hour caramels in 20 minutes! They were gross!!! Well crap Jon-why weren’t you supervising me better!?!? So we pour that batch out and scrape the remnants out of the pot (and by WE I mean Jon!!)!
Me during round 1-Look how i'm so excited to be making caramels like I know what I'm doing and I'm not about to ruin them!!! Side note: Jon refused to have his picture taken to document this little project! I don't know why he has to act like that!! Gosh!!!
So Jon decides that maybe my stove is just hotter than his so it cooked faster blah blah blah so we decide to go down to his house and use his stove. After making fun of me for a few minutes (and rightfully so!!) we got back down to business and Jon paid a little bit more attention to what I was doing! I was a bit nervous as I poured everything in the pot and began stirring! Jon would never shut it if I ruined a 2nd batch!!! Things went better this time around so don't you fret!!! My caramels turned out smashingly!! I can’t wait to hand them out!!! Thanks Jon Judy!!!

I Love My Big Gay Tree!!!!
Ok so check it! I got my Christmas tree last night!!!!Fa la la la la!!!! So last year getting my tree was QUITE a fiasco!! It took me forever to pick him out and forever to get him situated in his little tree stand (mostly cuz I don’t own any tools so we were hacking at his stump with a steak knife or the claw end of a hammer or some such nonsense!!!) and then when I finally did get him situated he seemed to be leaning an awfully lot! No matter what we did he was always leaning and then I discovered that his trunk wasn’t quite straight-he’s gay!!!! I named him Sebastian and I loved my big gay tree!! So last night I went to the tree lot and scoped out the trees. The 1st one I saw was just too big and then I saw the perfect tree! He was just the right size and appeared to be standing straight!! Wrap him up I’ll take him to go!!!!! so we get him home and in his little tree stand with minimal fuss and I think he’s perfect and everything is going well! Yeah too bad he also leans a little and doesn’t stand up straight! Another gay tree!!!! Oh good grief!! But he only leans just slightly as if he just hasn’t quite decided if he’s gay or not!!! What can ya do?!? I love my little gay tree!!! I’m gonna name him Wentworth!!!! Pics will be posted as soon as I get him all gussied up!!! Merry Christmas!!!!
