Merry Christmas, y'all!

Merry Christmas everybody!

I spent the morning in my pajamas, drinking hot apple cider, laughing with my family and opening gifts. I'm currently in my sweats, watching "4o Year Old Virgin" and laughing my ass off because Steve Carrell is the funniest man alive. The time in between was spent with various family and friends, filling my gosh-darn soul with Christmas spirit (how freaking corny is that?).

But still: I hope each and every one of you enjoyed your Christmas as much as I enjoyed mine, and that you were able to spend the day with all the people you hold dearest to your heart.

Incidentally, over the weekend I found the best possible time for some last-minute Christmas shopping: 9:30 at night on Friday, December 23rd. All the stores are open until 11:00, and NOBODY is out and about! Of course, I only managed to find some stocking stuffers for myself, but that's okay!
Merry Christmas to all, and to y'all a good night!

Something tells me this may not be the best idea...

So today I went to the Dollar Tree, because I'm cool like that. (No, seriously, if you are a wrapping paper/bow/bag fiend like I am, the Dollar Tree rocks! It's awesome!) So anyway, I'm standing there at the checkout line, when I see, right by the register, a pregnancy test. And an ovulation test. At the Dollar Tree.

People, let me repeat that. A PREGNANCY test. And an OVULATION test. At the DOLLAR STORE. How is this a good idea? Are you really going to trust the state of your uterus and ovaries (or your girlfriend's, if that's the case) to something you bought FOR A DOLLAR??? Honest to God, this seems like the worst advance in family planning since George Bush took office! (I'm sorry, but this "abstinence only" sex ed shit JUST DOESN'T WORK.)

Seriously y'all, if you are really too broke to go to Fred Meyer's and buy a damn pregnancy test, then go to Planned Parenthood. That's what it's there for. Because damn!
