Season's Beatings

The holidays are almost over. We did Christmas tonight, since we're leaving early tomorrow for Rhode Island. We'll see if we can beat the snowstorm. It's not like we've never driven in snow before...

The loot list is as follows:

a new pair of knee high boots

a new thing of Babydoll perfume

fleece pants

four movie tickets

a $20 gift certificate to Newbury Comics

some truly ugly purple and mulberry polar bear socks

a Christmas goose ornament (honkEH!)

a Hello Kitty keychain

hair goo

various candy

I've done the Christmas party thing and I think I'm all set for now. I've been having a kind of shitty week. I remember loving Christmas as a kid; I'm must be turning into the fucking Grinch.

Anyhow, the city was a zoo today with all the holiday madness. The traffic was irritating, but the people were ok. It was friggin slow, though. Finally got my last paycheque from the gift wrap place. They shorted me two hours, but at this point, I don't even care. It's basically enough money to get the DVD player I want. Steve and I went out to Cannoli's in Weymouth, which was probably the highlight of my day. He's been in a haze for the last week, with all the problems he has with the wife and all the hard decisions he has to make. I feel so bad that there's nothing I can do to make it better. It drives me up the wall; I hate watching my friends hurt and being helpless.

I got home, picked up Matt for Jack's Christmas party, but he got sick and bailed early. Steve was supposed to call me, but never got around to it. I assume that, like last night, he fell asleep early and I'll hear from him tomorrow or something. I would have liked to do something else tonight, but I guess it's not in the cards and plus, I'm starting to get tired as hell. It's just kind of aggravating, but I suppose I was in a bad mood to begin with, so it's not a huge deal...

Oh, christ, and two more people I went to high school with are fucking getting married. Sean Fitzgibbon asked Ally Whose-last-name-i-cant-remember to marry him today in the parking lot of my high school. I missed seeing the happy couple tonight, thankfully. Depressing... I'm never getting married.

I'm going to go be cranky elsewhere.
