Yes, it's been a good long while since I last posted and sad to say, I don't really have an excuse as to why I haven't posted. I'm still unemployed and starting to freak out about it. I do have one semester of paralegal school over and done with. Just 24 more units to go and I'll be the proud recipient of a paralegal certificate!
Been struggling with a bit of depression - which makes it super hard to get to the gym where I know I'll feel better but when it's hard to get out of bed in the morning (and I've NEVER been one of those annoyingly chipper people who BOUND out of bed eager to start the day) it's usually an upward struggle from there.
Roomie and I went to see The Nutcracker today. As always, it was beautiful. Normally, I don't even mind the little children that are present. I think it's cute when little girls show up dressed in their little holiday dresses and ask rather loud questions about the plot. Today, however, this little anklebiter kept pounding up and down the stairs that were right by me and I wanted to clobber him. We were in the balcony section (first row) and he and his mother had seats in the last row. For some reason, she felt it would be perfectly acceptable to let her child run up and down the stairs from top to bottom throughout the performance. I restrained myself from saying something for the first half. After intermission, he commenced to once again racing up and down the stairs and started playing with his newly purchased nutcracker right next to me. And then shouted "Mommy?" like he was going to just shout a question at her regardless of the fact that he was in a theater. So I shushed him (you know, shh!) and apparently it freaked the uncontrolled brat so badly he ran back up to his mother and actually stayed there for the rest of the performance!
I don't have any major plans for the holidays - Roomie and I will spend the day together and we're currently arguing about what to have on Christmas dinner. Thoughts?
