Unemployment, Day 1: Party!

So, that happened.

When I received the e-mail saying that I was fired and that the company was closing down forever (seriously), all I could do was laugh. And laugh I did. A lot. For the rest of the night. Jennie described my mood as 'elated'.

I'll print the entirety of the e-mail later. It's pretty amazing, and actually more or less a form letter. I think you'll all enjoy it.

More news to come, of course. I've got a lot of free time on my hands now.

Christmas is coming...it's practically here!

And I am freaking the f@#$ out. In a good way. I'm extremely excited for Christmas this year, and I honestly have no idea why. There's really nothing to make this Christmas different from any other Christmas (except for this - isn't she cute?). And yet, for some reason, I feel as if I am more excited for this Christmas than I have ever been. Maybe it's because I bought presents for a lot of people and I think they'll all really like what I got them. Maybe it's because I don't have any idea what I'm getting for Christmas. Or maybe it's because I'm going to have FIVE DAYS OFF IN A ROW starting tomorrow.

Yeah, I definitely think it's the days off.

This is a short entry, but I just wanted to share my Christmas glee with both of you that read this. Have a merry Christmas. Or, if you don't celebrate Christmas, have a happy Thursday. If anyone needs me, I'll be stuffing myself silly with Christmas cookies (including the triumphant return of my mom's extra-delicious mint chocolate chip cookies!) and egg nog, playing tuba at two (count 'em, two) churches on Christmas eve, and enjoying five days off from work in a row. Did I mention that I have five days off from work in a row? I have five days off from work in a row. It's going to be glorious.

Merry Christmas!
