You know the holidays. It gets busy, and I guess that's what I've been.

I hope everyone had a great Christmas. My Christmas was about six days long. I had the most wonderful weekend you can imagine right before Christmas. It felt more like Christmas than any Christmas Day I've had for a long time. Everything was just as I had hoped and imagined it would be, and when you build a weekend up in your mind, you know how hard it is for the weekend to actually live up to that dream. It did and then some.

So, it turns out the Deathtrap really enjoys a Challenge. Maybe that's why it drives like such shit on a regular basis - it's bored, so it doesn't care. However, once the blizzards begin, that puppy laughs at any snow heap and drives like a dream. No...not really a dream. That's such a gross exaggeration. It drives. That's about it. This blizzard on Christmas was pretty horrible, huh? New Englanders? I have to say, it's a beautiful day today though because of it. Blue skies, every limb completely coated in white. Well, actually, only one side. If you're driving up Comm Ave, everything is white, the other way it's brown. I guess the snow just blew in horizontally.

I'm a waitress now. Did I tell you that? Yeah, I guess you could say I've been demoted. I only have two shifts this week, but I made good money that first shift, so it looks hopeful for when I'm on more. I'm not complaining because if it turns out I have just as few shifts this upcoming week as this past week, well, for social reasons, that will be spectacular. For financial reasons, not so much.

My sister got me two Betta fish for Christmas. I named them Jack and Billy. Jack is blue, green, purple, and with a stripe of red, and he is very fiesty. Billy was a bit subdued. He just sort of hung out, and didn't really fight/play with Jack. (Betta are fighting fish). He seemed old and tired, but Kim said he'd perk up soon enough. I woke up this morning, and dear little Billy was lying on his side, eyes gone white, fins no longer flipping. Billy has passed. I didn't want Jack to be lonely, so we picked up a new friend for him - Tyson, a red fish with a silvery turquoise body. Not as fiesty as Jack, but a good rival. Jack has been flipping out about it. He has not stopped flaring and shaking and threatening. Tyson fights, but I think he picks his battles. Sounds like most relationships I know. Tyson knows how to piss Jack off too. He just ignores him. I hate when that happens to me.

I also cleaned my room up a bit. Getting really gaudy and cluttered looking. I took down pictures that do not belong on my wall, and replaced them with pictures of people I love. I have the Bostonians up there, Laura, Oly, Mike, Katie, and Meaghan. I have Erin, Aine, Dave, and Jim. I'm pretty excited about it.

Haven't had many significant thoughts worth sharing. I haven't been reading enough. Watching WAY too much TV. If you've been watching as much as I have, then you may have stumbled upon the commercial of Paige Davis doing a musical number about Trading Spaces Las Vegas. It's pretty hysterical. For those who didn't know she was once a Broadway chick, I think people will be very impressed. She's definitely a dancer. It's just funny to see her kick her leg up, sing, and all those lifts and stuff while singing about Trading Spaces, you know? And the quality is good too. This is not a typical TS commercial - they put money into this one. It's weird.

I've been watching nearly every episode of Cosby Show a day - which is around four or five. God, how much money are those people getting for all this play back? You can't go wrong with Cosby Show. And Jamie and Paul (Mad About You) still know how to give me chills (in the good way). The first episode was on, how they met, and I got chills. Such a geek, I know, I am totally aware, but I can't help it. How can one not be moved by two people falling in love? It's the greatest thing if done well enough.

Yeah, I'm sorry, I've been feeling a bit bored with myself lately. Haven't had anything funny to say.

My show is coming up. Well, I mean the show when everyone is in Jamaica and I happen to be there too. Hardly my show. We won't be seeing much of me on it. Why, I cannot tell you, but trust me - you'll wonder if I'm even on it.

You know, I'll write more when I can think of anything to share. I'm going to run some errands now even though it's really cold out and I don't want to leave my bedroom.
