Happy Holidays.
And since the formatting won't let me do what I want to with that sentence, I will just warn you that it was written in a very sarcasticly laden tone.
Not a good day at work today. Went to the meeting this afternoon, the meeting which everyone thought was going to be our lame little Christmas get-together, and well, it wasn't so much a little Christmas get-together. More of a, "you most likely aren't going to have a place to work in a couple of months, or possibly sooner", meeting.
On the up-side...at least I have a while to find a new job. And there is a tiny chance that we might be franchised, and be bought out and maybe still have jobs, possibly.
And, even more fun, is the date that we will most likely find out the final decision of all of this is my birthday. Yep, that's right. My birthday. The day that I have already all but given up on decides to throw me another good party. And this year I was actually kinda looking forward to my birthday. Thought it might actually be a good day and I could do something fun on it. Guess I should have just expected this year to finish out how the bulk of it has gone.
Ok, enough of all that. I really had wanted to have a better attitude for the rest of the year. And I think I can still do it. Just going to have to step my efforts up about ten notches higher than I thought I was going to have to.
And now totally changing the subject... I was watching Studio 60 while I was typing this up, and at the end of the show they had some musicians on there playing "O Holy Night". Just about making me cry right now. One, it is probably my favorite Christmas song, not so much for what its message, though it is a good one, but for the happy memory that it brings every single time that I hear it. And because it is just one of those songs, when performed well, that can give me goosebumps from its quiet power. And the cool thing about this recording of it, well there's actually two cool things about this one, is that the show was featuring displaced musicians from New Orleans who happen to be VERY good, and it is available as a FREE download on nbc.com. Just go to the page on Studio 60. It is well worth it. Actually have let a tear or two out now...guess it's just one of those days. And I really miss my sister. Nothing wrong with that. Nothing at all.
And now that that is all out of the way, I am going to make a cd for my parents for their car ride to MN. Yes, THEIR car ride! I was offered the opportunity to fly (as a birthday present)and I am definitely not going to pass that up!! So I guess there is at least one good thing happening because of my birthday, even if it isn't technically ON my birthday...
mood: getting better, but this is recording of the song is kinda sad sounding, so it isn't really helping as much as it could be
music: "O Holy Night" - New Orleans musicians (go download it. go, now. just go)
p.s.
I went swing dancing last Friday night. Yes, you read that correctly. I went swing dancing. I was absolutely horrid at it, but I tried. And you know what? I had a blast. Wish I would have pushed down my "i'm horrible at this and need to sit here and only dance every once in a while" thoughts and gotten out there a little more than I did. I know. Ya didn't think you'd ever hear that coming from me, did ya?!

"O Holy Night" is fabulous, but the song that gets me every single time is "Mary, Did You Know." Makes me shiver in my chair.
