Rob's birthday is December 28. It's a sucky time for a birthday. I always get him a birthday gift for my birthday, in August, but I still feel like I should do more for his actual birthday, since it just seems totally absorbed by Christmas celebrations. This year I did manage to get him a birthday gift, although it was rather last minute. He keeps a list of all the single malts he's sampled on his computer, so when he was out yesterday I used the list to find a few that the liquor store had that he hadn't. Glenmorangie Quinta Rubin 12-yr was the lucky winner. The three of us also went out to a nice brew pub for dinner this evening.
However, Rob didn't waste any time in sinking back into the grumpy mood he's in most of the semester from feeling overwhelmed by his to-do list. Ah, life.
Also, I'm ready to clean up Christmas, but so far I'm in the minority here. Emma wants everything to stay up, and Rob just doesn't want to add another job to his to-do list.
And lastly I get to be deposed tomorrow. A new experience, that I'm a tiny bit nervous about.
Christmas birthdays suck, no doubt about it. When I was trying to get pregnant before we had Grace, I actually made a point to avoid conception in the February to April time range, because I didn't want a holiday baby. Yes, I am that controlling.
ReplyDeleteI've started taking down our Christmas stuff and just pitched the tree out the back door this evening. Tomorrow, I'll pack up everything except the exterior lights, which I'll keep up through the 1st.
Good luck with the deposition.
Good luck on the Christmas decoration take-down and the deposition. I can't imagine being deposed, unless it's on whether I adequately cleaned the bathrooms. Hope it goes well.
ReplyDeleteI think I might have fared better with a deposition about cleaning bathrooms. My answer then could have been a clear-cut "no". :-)
