*Yawn*

So yesterday kind of sucked. i was cold all day long and didnt have lunch and it was really hard to get any work done since not many people were here, etc. then i realized that since i am planning on taking tomorrow off, it would have been much better if HL came over to open gifts and hang out on thurs night, esp since i was tired and not feeling well. but i didnt reach anyone until they were already on their way and wes didnt want to take her back. so wes got us dinner and we did have a good time. HL is always a blast to be around, it was hard to stay in abad mood. she loved her gifts, especially the emily stuff and i was very jealous of her nintendo DS and ipod and ipod speakers, etc. she really got spoiled this xmas! she also brought over the monopoly-type game with a cat theme "Cat-Opoly" and we played, but ive decided most all kids cheat at games and she was also very distracted, which made the game not very fun at all. so we eventually made it to bed and i got woken up at 5am when wes had to go to work (he couldnt sleep in the guest room since HL was there) i woke up too, but played dead so as to fall back sleep easier once he was gone, which i did eventually, but the time between me falling back asleep and my alarm going off is so short,it sucks. this for some reason always puts me in a bad mood. I def. am particular about sleeping and carry anxieties with me about getting enough sleep and since i am a light sleeper and cant sleep through snoring its doubly bad.

anyway, enough complaining ihave two nice things to report. okay the first is only kind of nice and kind of gross. i was having cereal and playing solitair this morning when i heard a loud blood-curdling yelp come from my cat, i looked in the hallway and he looked in pain and he was heaving and growling in a painful way. I realized he was going to barf and i grabbed a towel and laid it out in front of him and sure enough he barfed- gross liquid AND some holiday ribbon. this is by no means a happy story, but i saved us from having to clean a nice really long runner, i was very proud of my quick thinking and very proud of my sweet cat for warning me. he then moved halway down the hall and stopped and heaved again, i unwrapped the gross, wet towel enough to catch the secondary spittle, then threw the towel int he washing machine, for a wasteful, yet necessary small load.

all time low temps this morning, but i was prepared today with many layers and hat, gloves and scarf. i am super sleepy, but not in abad mood.

i must also mention that my kickass boyfriend fixed the cable so now we can watch tv in the living room- Yay Wes!

ok, what else? OH- the tiger maulings at the zoo. so at first, im like- OMG, poor boys got mauled and one died. but now they are saying they found a shoe and pinecones and twigs in the moat and they believe the boys taunted the tiger, then, when the boy dangled his leg over the enclosure, the wild animal took the opportunity to attack and use the dangling leg to get himself over the enclosure, then went after the other two, who were already running for it, im sure. poor tiger died cause it was forced to be put on display, then taunted.

i do feel bad for the boys cause that just sucks, but thats my viewpoint as of now.
