The Basics
Me:
- Working my arse off making less than I was getting in unemployment
- Not looking forward to figuring out what to do for Christmas presents
- Not looking forward to asking my parents for more money for bills
- A bit depressed at times, and more self-defeating/-destructive than I should be
- Waiting to hear from Foremost, where I applied for a sales agent job in a different department than I was working before
- Craving a McDonald’s breakfast burrito
- Still wondering if anyone wants a kidney for $50,000
My goldfish, Pucker:
- Still living in a refrigerator drawer (but not in the refrigerator) with my parents
- Probably still floating upside down
My car:
- Still a Toyota
- Slightly cosmetically damaged from going into the freaking ditch on a very icy night (during which I made all of $12 at my job)
My purse:
- Slightly lighter after I had to shell out $100 to get towed out of aforementioned freaking ditch by a guy who wouldn’t know an Italian wine if it slapped his mama and then took a crap in his work boots
Me again:
- Wondering if I actually know enough about Italian wines to leave my work boots out
My friends, both near and far:
- Wonderful
- Make me so thankful
- In my thoughts, even if I haven’t written, called, commented, or stopped by for a while
Me again, again:
- Logging off and getting that burrito

Hey Kid! Sometimes life sucks big donkey dongs. I hear you totally. I’m sending you all my good vibes and I’ve got some to spare right now because things are looking up for me on the job front.
Keep it together, stay funny. Peace out.
Love, Ter

Thanks for the heads up on the McSkillit burrito. Tried one yesterday on my way to Traverse City. Deeelish. Keep your head up and know that you are being prayed for. I know, it doesn’t pay the electric bill, but I’m living proof that prayer works.
Three guys die on Christmas Eve and meet St. Peter at the Pearly Gates. St. Peter says”‘ Before you can enter, you all need to show me something relevant to the season. The first guy reaches in his pocket and pulls out a lighter, flicks it and says it’s a Christmas candle. St Peter say’s “go on in.” The second guy pulls out a set of keys, jingles them and says” these are Christmas bells.” St. Peter again says” go on in.” The third guy nervously checks all his pockets and finds noyhing. Finally he checks his coat pocket and pulls out a pair of women’s panties. St. Peter asks, and what are those? The guy shrugs his shoulders and and says” ahh, these are Carols. Go on in!
Be blessed, Alvis
