Ambling through randomly meandering ramblings…

Killing time November 28, 2006

Well I’m at work right now, but man am I dead tired.  Which is weird cause I’m pretty sure I got plenty of sleep last night.  Maybe I’ve got mono or something (actually, that’d prolly make sense).  Sadly, as I’m without health insurance, I’ll never know.  Unless I die.  Then it’d be pretty clear that something isn’t quite right.

So my holiday weekend was excellent.  Thanksgiving saw me in Rochester, seeing the rest of the Kangas family (sans Keith, Kay, and children) and lots of amazing food made by Grandma Kangas.  Much happiness there.  Then that evening I played monopoly with the brothers, watched the Audrey Hepburn (wow she was gorgeous) and Cary Grant movie ”Charade”.  Highly recommended.  Afterward I had a late Perkins run with Melissa Eelkema, whom I hadn’t seen in at least forever.  Friday was a sleep in do nothing day, a Gopher Hockey game in which we edged out a win against Michigan State, and a late happy hour run to Applebees with Gena.  It was great to see her and catch up on things.  Then Saturday was a day of driving to Wisconsin to visit the Seidl side of the family and to take a family photo (all 25 of us).   Aw man, worst ever:  when my family was waiting to be placed in the shot, the photographer asks “which two are the couple?”  implying that I could be my mother’s husband.  Come on dude.  I look like I could be 26/27 at the oldest.  Not 45.  Dick.  Anyway, afterward we drove back and I made it to another hockey game in which we slaughtered Michigan U.  So all in all, excellent weekend.  Enough to leave you smiling for a month.

Another development:  I’ve stumbled into the “Christmas Music” season.  Once you start you can’t stop, so when I’m at home I’m pumping hour after hour of holiday classics.  In fact, with each post throughout the season I shall include 5ish songs from my holiday playlist that you should listen to.

 I don’t really have anything to do at work today, so I think I may ditch out to the Barnes and Noble in the mall and hang out there for a few hours.  Shhh don’t tell.

 Christmas songs to listen to:  1. Marshmallow World by either Darlene Love, Johnny Mathis, or Dean Martin; 2. Mary Did You Know? by either Mark Lowry or Kenny Rogers and Wynona Judd; 3. Happy Holiday by Andy Williams; 4. Sleigh Ride, gotta be by Andy Williams; 5. Christmas Waltz by Frank Sinatra
