this year at christmas…
* i discovered that my mother’s favorite curse word was “shit.” she said this a lot…well, until i used it correctly as a one year old.
* my sister gave me some mac eyeshadow (“it’s called amber lights and it looks good on everyone. everyone loves amber lights…”) and a grindhouse burger gift card.
* my parents gave me a sensible sweater and that goofy hat shown above.
* i blew a fuse trying to plug in my space heater. we had to eat dinner in the breakfast nook.
* my mother vetoed pot to help her when she starts chemo next month, which is a relief because i haven’t the slightest idea where to get some.
* we seemed to do nothing but cook, eat, and sleep.
* i got the sweetest text from my closest comedy comrade. brought a tear to my eye.
* i learned more about donnie mcclurkin than i ever wanted to know.
* i made it back to my lair in one piece, where i drank hot tea & watched “the station agent.”
so overall, success.
