(On another blog I shared something about a Christmas letter.  If I was going to write one that really got ppl’s attention, I guess it would go something like what follows….remember, it is all in ‘fun’)

Merry Christmas friends, family and others (you know who you are!):

In looking back on this last year I realized a few things: 1) there was a lot of nothing going on, and 2) even if I found any of it interesting, you probably wouldn’t.  So, I shall waste my time, paper and printer ink to write a letter that you won’t even read.

Troy’s job keeps him busy and he has to do a lot of traveling.  To my chagrin he had to give up his Chicago territory, which was the biggest source of his long absences.  Now he can be home a little more, which really upsets my routine.  I tell ya…it’s like always having a dog under foot.

I have attempted taking some classes at a local college.  I think I should sue them for labeling themselves a ‘college’.  At least they are cheap…I mean, inexpensive…no, I mean cheap and I will get a Human Resource Management certificate out of it.  It doesn’t matter so much what you know to get a job, after all.  I just need that piece of paper so that I can scope out a desk that I can call my own…put my feet up and hide in my cubicle. 

My daughter has gone back to the local Middle school.  She is on medication for anxiety.  It must be working because she has no anxiety about back talking and whipping out those sarcastic little come backs without taking a breath!  I made sure to thank her doctor.

That same doctor, however, has failed to straighten out my son.  We decided since there didn’t seem to be anything that really worked, we’d go for broke (literally) and just dump out our bank account at the local pharmacy (CVS stock went up since we started getting his med Rx filled there), get enough drugs to turn him into a zombie so that he wouldn’t know the difference.  He has a really nice little room that he stays in and I check on him every couple of hours.  He eats well and I let him out to play video games once in a while.  It’s not perfect but it works.

There are no family trips to tell about.  If you don’t know why, go back and reread the first few sentences of the last paragraph.  You have to keep up!

It was nice sharing.  Have a happy holiday!
