The Gagging Sounds are Coming from Me

In all honesty, while neither is my first choice of beverage, I have no prejudices against Budweiser or Clamato.
It is the thought of the two of them mixed together that makes me wretch.
I have a one day turnaround.
Yesterday I got home from Albuquerque and tomorrow I leave for Hot Springs. Today consists of doing laundry and trying to procure a broadband card so that I can do my job while on the road. I also had library books to return (the library is becoming like the video store for me. With all of my late fees it will soon become cheaper to just start buying books again.) and grocery shopping. Then I have to repack for myself and the kids before we leave in the morning.
It took me a while to wrangle up the Goon Squad and convince them that we had to go get a broadband card. I can’t imagine why they weren’t excited about it. Maybe if I had mentioned it would enable me to show them YouTube videos of transformers and princesses in the car they would have been a little bit more motivated.
So just as I was thinking this was going to be a pretty crappy day the greatest thing happened.
The DHL guy showed up at my door. (DHL, that is the yellow one right? You know, not Fed Ex, UPS or the Post Office, but the other one.) He had a big heavy box for me.
This particular box sloshed and it required someone over 21 to sign for it.
It was beer! For me!
I had completely forgotten but back in April I was in a wedding. Two of my favorite people married each other and for my bridesmaid gift they gave me years membership to The Beer of the Month Club.
Now you see why they are two of my favorite people.
I know I said beer of the month, but actually I get a mixed 12 pack every other month, or maybe it is every three months, but today was my lucky day!
Ever since that nice man brought beer to my door I have been in a good mood. I haven’t even had any yet but just knowing it is chilling in my beer fridge makes me happy.
My friend Lori sent me this.
I have no idea who drew this or where she got it but it makes me laugh.
Indeed it is the most wonderful time of the year.
I love December. It’s got everything - football, Christmas, my birthday, playoff football, special holiday beer, lots of cheese, bowl games, Christmas music (not the radio crap, but the classical stuff that makes Gabe nuts), excuses to buy expensive wine, New Years Eve parties…
December is my favorite month.
Oh, and if you are a moron that doesn’t understand the mirror/camera/blog picture concept, it might also look like this:
Dear Florence, SC,
In my recent travels I happened briefly upon your fair city and I am left with a few questions for you:
No alcohol on Sundays? At all?
Not even beer?
How do you people watch football?
Your prompt response would be most appreciated.
Love,
Sarah
