another exciting holiday down the tubes
2002-12-26 at 7:53 p.m.

Tuesday night I had the weirdest dream that I spent the night with one of my employees. She is extremely hot and quite flirty at times (but I think she doesn't realize I take it this way), but is going through a divorce, has 2 kids and a married boyfriend (scrump buddy..who knows).

So last week she had invited me over for Christmas Eve with the hagglers that had nowhere else to go and when confirming what I was bringing that day she says, "why don't you spend the night? I have no one to sleep with me." I laughed it off, then instantly remembered my dream and quickly decided I would be coming home that night.

Had to work late, so got there late. Had a nice time though. Same place I went for Thanksgiving. And luckily only 5 miles up the road. (which, when you live in the middle of nowhere, is actually just down the road) Many new faces and good food. Drank champagne, laughed a lot and didn't over-do it in any arena. Had to work early on Christmas day and sent my breakfast cook home early so it was just me all day. My maintenance guy is from Mexico and went on vacation for a week. Well, he never came back. Of course this is the busiest time since summer and he was supposed to do housekeeping that day. So who wound up doing it? yep, me. But it was ok. I managed to keep myself quite busy and didn't get out until 7:30pm. Ryan and I were supposed to get together, but I was totally whipped and could have gone to bed the minute I got home. He didn't answer the phone and heard he went to bed at that time last night too. So today was another early day, tons of guest shit to deal with. Plus the phone...and boss lady calling 5 times about nothing in particular. (have you heard she really irks me sometimes?)

So, finally got home at 6:30 tonight and really wanted to go to Dgo to deposit my Christmas checks due to lack of fundage. Unfortunately I just couldn't muster the energy for the drive since I have to go in tomorrow night to return my DVDs before they are late.

Oh, the Holidays. I must say this has been the LEAST eventful one yet. I didn't feel lonely or sad like I probably should have, of course I was too damn busy. Didn't even feel like Christmas to me. And now it is over already.

I miss the chaos that happens at my family's houses from 1pm Christmas Eve to 5pm Christmas Day. They put the 'D' in dysfunctional. But it is still 'home' and I think I miss/ed that this year. I am being selfish and not planning a trip home until they come see me (guess that will be a long time).

I did, however, have an interesting time at my aunt and uncle's in New Mexico, but that's another entry.

I bought an incredible sable fur hat from my uncle's showroom. It sells for $300, but got a great deal I couldn't pass up. And I must say, I look fabulously 'Marilyn' in it.

So, next holiday..New Years Eve. Yes, I have to work. But will make the most of it. I am up for new changes in 2003. I think primarily physical and spiritual. Nothing yet determined, but will think about it for awhile.

Or maybe I will resolve to get some more shit out in this online diary thingy....I think it helps.
