Re: WPBP of the day
Real or fake? It's real! We were debating on getting a fake one this year because we'll be out of town. But if we go fake, I want it to be fake. I want a silver or crazy colored tinsel tree.
Your ornaments; where did you get most of them? Pier One Imports. I love all the different cute ones they have.
Your favorite ornament is a fluffy bird that my sister bought me a couple of years back. She has one too. We still aren't talking to each other because she's still dating that con man guy, but I know that we still love each other.

Something funny to share with the board: Trixie smells like throw up! Okay, maybe that's not funny since she woke up at 5 to throw up in her crate, but she doesn't seem to care about the smell and is running all over the place....

Something funny to share with the board: Hmmm...Children were lined up in a Catholic school cafeteria for lunch. There was a pile of apples that was marked with a note from one of the nuns that said, "Take only one. God is watching." At the end of the line was a pile of cookies. Scrawled by one of the students, the pile was marked with a note that said, "Take all you want...God is watching the apples."
Yuk yuk. This is why I wasn't a standup comedian.

We have one already, hopefully it's going up either tonight or tomorrow.
Real or fake?
Fake. And pre-lit. Oh yes, we are that kind of lazy, lol.
Your ornaments; where did you get most of them?
My mom actually gave us a set of really pretty ornaments as an early Christmas present the first year we were living together. I don't know where she bought them, but I think they're pretty.
Your favorite ornament is __________(pic if you have one)
It hasn't been on the tree before, and I don't have a picture, but it's a WDW 2010 commemorative ornament DH and I bought on our HM. It's blue and shaped like Mickey. It's not exceptionally "pretty" or anything like that, I just love the sentiment behind it.
Something funny to share with the board:
So for anybody not affiliated with WoW, the new expansion (Cataclysm) comes out at midnight. I already know that the game will not be functioning as well (If at all) tomorrow due to major updates ... but I really don't want to wait much longer than that to start up my goblin. So I'm pretty sure I'm going to be "coming down with a cold" on Wednesday. Yes, I am that much of a loser, lol.

I have two. The first, my mom made when I was a little girl and always wore my hair in braids.
The second one she gave me a few years ago when I stopped straightening my hair and started to wear it curly.
Only my Santa story:
Santa would make an appearance at my grandparents every year. At three I asked him if I could see Rudolf. He told me I could next year. At four, I tried to hold him to his promise and when he said he didn't remember saying this, I crossed my arms, squinted my eyes and repeated our conversation back to him word for word. I don't remember how the adults got him out of this one but I'm sure it was over my very loud protests that Santa was a liar.

This is a belated married bio, with no reviews yet because I'm lazy.
Sometimes I feel like people think that brides are delicate little flower princesses who get all dressed up and pretty for one special moment of their dreams, when really they're just normal people who just happen to be getting married. Things shouldn't have to be sugar-coated for grown-ass women. -mstar284

If I hadn't just gotten "stomach flu" on the last day of NaNoWriMo, I'd probably have gotten it today so I could continue playing Epic Mickey. So if you're a loser, I'm right there with you.

2 years ago, I called in "My complex hasn't been plowed yet" so I could finish playing Sukoden II. There really was snow on the ground (Lots of it actually ... and the office did wind up closing because so many other people called out anyway), but I totally could have made it into work if I had felt like it. But, yeah, defeating the evil empire and saving Nanami were way more important.

Luckily I have the full week between Christmas and New Year's off. Last year I had wedding crafts to keep me productive; I'm hoping to be similarly productive this year and clean the house or write or something, but I'm pretty sure I'll just be playing Wii until my arms fall off. (I spent 7 hours straight playing Epic Mickey yesterday; it's not that intensive a game but I am SO SORE.) Back when DH was working weekends, he usually wouldn't get much done on his days off because he was, in his words, "saving the world" on his various NES ROMs.

I'm lucky to get paid sick leave from work. I get 5 days every year, and in my company it's "use 'em or lose 'em". If I'm actually sick, of course, I'll use a day for it ... but I don't actually get sick very often. So usually, I just stagger my days through out the year to do something either fun (Like going to see a mid-week matinee to avoid crowded theatres) or incredibly lazy (Like spending the day gaming in my PJs) with the time.
I wish I had the full week between Christmas and New Year's off. Oh the things I could do with an extra week off ... sigh.

It's one of the advantages of working for a school. Campus is actually closed that week, so it's PTO for everyone. I remember the HR guy said his favorite part of orientation was always seeing people's reactions when they learned that.
I'm really very fortunate in my PTO with this job. We accrue one day each of sick and vacation time per month worked until you hit a certain threshhold, and we can use it pretty freely. Last year I knocked off an hour or so early on Christmas Eve, and made up for that with vacation pay. Disney actually worked the same way if you were full-time, it was one of the few ways they treated employees well. It makes me a little nervous to be job hunting again, thinking that I'm spoiled now and I won't find another place with a similar policy...

This is actually one of the reasons I don't want to leave the place I'm at. I definitely have it good here. I get my sick days, I get 2 weeks vacation, and on top of all that, instead of cash, they usually give us extra personal days to use for whatever during the year as a Christmas bonus (Which, imo, is better than cash). Plus, they will close for things like bad weather. This is the only job I've ever had that actually will close if a state of emergency is declared.
I sometimes think it's sad that I get happy about something like that, but really, after the lousy jobs I've put up with (For incredibly lousy pay), I really appreciate that sort of thing. And I do get scared that if we have to move or something, that I'll never be able to get it this good someplace else.

The Cataclysm updates showed up on our game right after Thanksgiving. It's been pretty trippy the way everything's changed. Haven't played in a few days, though, and probably won't be able to until after exams. Hell, I shouldn't even be here right now, but this is my 5th round of law school exams, my grades don't count, so you do the math.

I'm actually really glad that they tried to patch as many major changes as possible leading up to the release (Including the world "breaking"). It seems like all that's really left to patch in are the Goblins, the Worgens, and the level 85 cap on everybody.
Being on the East Coast sucks during major changes, as we usually don't have the game back up until dinner time. That's why I'm opting to "be sick" on Wednesday instead (The game should be fully running by then). No point in staying home on Tuesday if I'm most likely not getting to play until after I'd normally be home from work anyway, lol.
I can't wait to make my goblin! I'm so excited to start a new character!

I haven't played WoW in many a moon, but all the Cataclysm ads have made me really curious about how they're going to handle basically redrawing the map, especially for players who don't buy the expansion.

We didn't buy the expansion but nearly every zone is different in some way without it., some much more than others. New music too. Which is great--I don't feel the need to rush out and buy Cataclysm, though I'll probably get it for DH for his birthday next month then borrow his computer a lot :)

I kind of wish I could get DH into WoW so we could play together, but he's sort of a 100% completionist and vastly prefers story to level-grinding, so it's really not his thing; he'd either get sucked in and never see the light of day again, or play for ten minutes and get bored. No happy medium. Ah well.

<div>DH has played it for years. The only reason I got into it is when he was moving to the west coast and I was pretty devastated about being by myself on the east coast for the next 10 months, he suggested I get it so we could play together. It was actually a really good idea--we had many WoW dates and it definitely helped keep me sane. Plus he was a really high level so he helped me level really quickly :)</div>

Planning Bio-Updated 3/11 with groomsmen attire
Real or fake? fake...real ones are messy IMO and I break out in hives when I touch them...
Your ornaments; where did you get most of them? Wal-Mart. There are a few "special" ones that are mine/DD's, but it's mostly balls.
Your favorite ornament is my little Irish step-dancer. I'm too lazy to take a pic and upload it at the moment, though.
Something funny to share with the board: My son looks at the tree and yells, "Ball!" as if he wants to play with the ornaments. I did let him hold one, just to see what it was, and fortunately he didn't try to throw it...
