It's beginning to smell a lot like Christmas.

I should have know that if Jennifer and I went Christmas Tree shopping, there was no way we would buy one that was straight. Damn if that thing doesn't list waaaaay over. I was bummed about it for a while, and then it started to grow on me, but when I mentioned it to my mom, she was all, "If you want a perfect tree, buy a fake one." She knew that would irk me, that I hate fake trees. We got to talking about how we would go tree shopping (me, smurfbrother, Mom, her husband) - John and I were totally anal about trees (that one has a hole, that one is crooked, that one isn't fat enough) and Mom and Baga didn't really care. Ha! I am /still/ anal. Now, though, I love my tree. It's so cute and crooked!

I took my mom to the Short North Tavern last night. Press Grill was too full. There was a band there (Shrunken Heads) that my mom really liked. I got tipsy because I hadn't eaten dinner. Ha. Tipsy with my mom. I got so chatty - I am a sentimental tipsygirl - everything was Jen this and Jen that and Jen Jen Jen. Mom didn't seem too uncomfortable this time, which was nice. Really nice. <3

I slept alone last night. I would have had a hard time falling asleep, but I was fairly intoxicated. Heh. I used to sleep in the middle of the bed, and the bed sort of caved in centerish. I went to sleep in the middle last night, and found that it was raised in the middle, from having two bodies there all the time. I rolled over onto "my side" with my pillow and it was like she was there with me, but it wasn't as warm.

Jeeeeeez, woman, you're not str8, but you expect the poor tree to be? It's just trying to fit in!

Poor tree. Ralph (my cat) managed to knock it down in the middle of the night - tree is trashed and so are most of the ornaments. :(

I am all about fake trees. I don't like to kill a plant just for me to hang ornaments off it. Our fake tree is so fake it's beautiful. it's silver with purple and white fiber optics :) Disco christmas!!

I'd really like one of those silver plastic trees that you shine colored lights on. I hate fake trees except for those. We had a fake tree when I was younger and it was SOOOO ugly.

I wish I could meet your mom!

You should come to Sean and Bart's tonight to watch The Sopranos, then!

You shoulda gotten a Charlie Brown tree. My mom and I had one when I was in high school Cub Foods was giving them out for free a few days before Christmas, and the only one left was a pathetic, bare tree. :P

I've got a fake one this year, sadly.

awl and I did that a few years ago. We went hunting the most pathetic, scrawny, sickyly tree we could find.

At "Big John's Christmas Trees" there was a pile out back of all the ones that no one wanted. That's where he found his tree. He even bent it over and hung one single ornament off of it, if I remember correctly.

Awl, you still have pics of it?

=)

Now that it's fallen on the floor and broken all the ornaments, it really /is/ a Charlie Brown tree!

eep!

I've had that song in my head all day. Randomly I will be like, "I'm in love with your mom!!" to my roommates. hehe, the looks of confusion are priceless. :)

I'm in love with /your/ Mom. Though I just met Ryan's mom.

You make me want to go Christmas tree shopping! I have no idea where I'd put one.

We bought a rosemary plant trimmed into a tree shape a few weeks ago, but I'm still figuring the logistics of putting lights on it. (:

That said, it is weird sleeping alone after sleeping together. When Robert's on shifts that keep us from sleeping at the same time, I sleep on the futon in the living room -- I have less trouble falling asleep on a folded-up futon.

Mmmm, I love the smell of rosemary plants.

I am so seriously going to pee my pants now.

Sorry.

I'm glad I was able to pamper you with amusement. :)

If we had three legs, would we have to wear triapers?

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

Depends.

(You're such a funny dork!)

Re:

[jeffholton.livejournal.com]

I fell right into that.

Serves me right.

I can't even think of a snappy comeback, but the anus is clearly on me to think of something!

I'll work on it. ;)

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

Mmm, you said "on me."

Re:

[jeffholton.livejournal.com]

Which, backwards, is, "Em no," which I believe is a line Dorothy said in The Wizard of Oz when Auntie Em was trying to take Toto away to be destroyed.

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

Tee hee hee hee! You make me giggle.

Re:

Imagine what I could do if I could touch you!

No, on second thought, never mind.

Don't imagine that. :)
