Damn the lady in the office walking around singing Christmas carols when Im trying to work! I find myself singing them constantly without even noticing. When I do notice, I stop myself immediately… because we already have an office caroler (see first sentence). 
No, seriously… she sings Let it Snow in June. She starts counting down to Christmas in August. Its a tad annoying. I love the holidays. There is something warm and inviting in the air… but come on! I need a friggin break.
Well we are officially going to Florida for 5 days starting the 19th to visit D’s older sister. Myself, D, Baby Girl, and D’s brother are flying down at 7 am, meaning we have to get up at the wee hours of the morning… ick. Im hoping Baby Girl will do alright this time. She flew with D down there in February when she was only 4 months old and apparently slept the entire time (on both flights). Im excited to be going and visiting with family we never see, but Im not too excited about traveling with a busy 13 month old that only wants to run and play. Lets hope she’s still tired and will sleep the whole time again. Doubt it though 
Although I did just say that I need a break from all the Christmas-ness around the office here, I did put a string of lights around my cubicle. Its that one time of year you can actually get away with it. I think its cute.
Also, since I think I am possibly the most pale person on the planet I started tanning. Its been a really long time since Ive gotten some sun exposure and I think my skin was so light that I was see-through. And thats just not good. Im not looking for a fake orange-y leather skin tan here… just a nice glow I think. Plus its winter in Detroit and Im not getting enough Vitamin D from the lack of sunshine Thats my story and Im sticking to it.
Oh! And lost this week in fantasy football but Im still ranked #1 going into the playoffs. So wish me luck for the next couple weeks. I’ll need it, and I could really use (and want) the prize money.
I’m with you I like the holidays, it’s just a cheery time of year, but I do dislike the people that ooze it from their pores. I’m at home now but when I was at work we had someone like that. I wanted to shove her in a chimney come Nov. But I didn’t. I do have some christmas spirit.
Enjoy your trip!
