Banana and Strawberry Parfait

Like I really need to be eating it. But I need to eat something if I'm going to last 2 hours tonight at Job #2 before meeting S at the Mezz for dinner/Heroes. I did get in 2 workouts this weekend, one at the gym on Saturday and a run yesterday at our local park with S and Tito J., who was visiting for the weekend! It was just like old times, running in the park with Tito J. There are times when I still hate that he moved away to San Antone!

I just got a subpoena to appear in court this Friday morning. A manslaughter case. I had absolutely no recollection of this (isn't that awful?) so the Reserves secretary just looked it up for me and apparently it was a call that Mudflap and I took in July. I'm supposed to be working from home this Friday so I wonder if I really have to go??? Maybe Mudflap can go for the both of us. He loves this shit. I do too but I hate missing work, paying to park downtown, waiting on hard benches, etc.

So here's another good thing about the holidays: it's generally ok to be worthless at work. Most of us have lessened enthusiasm and are totally weighed down by holiday obligations and comfort food! I actually decorated part of the house yesterday. I put up our little 3-foot tree (meaning I pulled it out of the box, ha!) and this year I put it on top of a folding table on top of a red drape. It looks better like that than just sitting on the floor. I put Xmas lights around our door. And I put the tiny Xmas tree in the baby's room. I will probably get to the $1 store to buy more lights to string up a couple more places--why the hell not? Maybe I'll even get some Xmas shit to put in the kitchen, i.e., dishtowels, etc. I am so the un-Martha Stewart. I just don't have the time or energy or want to spend the $ on this crap but this year I am at least making a little effort!
