So some people call it baby point (like it’s spelled; cute little babies), but others say “Bah-Bee point”. What the fuck’s a bah-bee?

Anyway, this is “the big weekend” the first time since I was 13 that I haven’t had to work over the Christmas season. What’s more is I now have the entire week (read it!) off. You mean I don’t have to work on Boxing Day? Hallelujah! Jesus really was born this time of year.

Man, I love me some cracker, but road cracker is a bit too, I dunno, *dirty* for me.

Speaking of food, I had a deeeeelicous burger en-route to this shot (no Xtina, I didn’t dump these lil guys on the curb); The Yellow Griffin Pub in Bloor West Village has 35 different burgers to choose from, with your choice of 6 patties (Chicken, Beef, Turkey, Veggie, Pork, or Lamb), giving me over 210 combinations of deliciousness to choose from. Seriously, It’s been over two days since I ate there and I still feel awesome from it. And don’t get me started on their sweet potato fries; unreal!

Not because it’s a gaggle of frosties, but because they’re using a plethora of those stupid self inflating balloon decorations; not just for used car dealerships anymore. I’m all for easy, but this is a bit much. Plug them in and they inflate, creating “tacky” wherever you want. I feel that they’re a waste of energy, a little fan blowing air up Santa’s ass. And then you see the people trying to save engergy by unplugging them during the day: a deflated Santa or Frosty, or Rudolph, smushed up, and flattened on the lawn. It looks like a campsite without the campers. All in all, I put in my vote for these as the lamest trend of this holiday season.

Dan and I went out with his mom to pickup a Christmas tree on Saturday. I was a huge help…

*pause*… NOT

But when we were standing there waiting for Danny to finish tying the tree to the top of the car I saw this smoke rising high into the sky. I wonder what it was, from it’s distance it could have been west enough to be in Mississauga? Anyone local know what went on out there?

Anyways, I don’t know about the whole real vs. fake tree debate. My mom had a “fake” tree for years, but it’s been perfect and beautiful every time it’s been put out. Keep in mind that it’s not some white frosted, sparkley plastic pokemon tree or anything; it’s an $800 tree *reproduction*. It’s not messy, it doesn’t die, and we don’t have to water it.

*Happy Birthday MF*

Kari’s been making necklaces a lot lately, she makes some pretty nice stuff (or so I’m told), and she’s started to sell them too. If you want a sample, or want to buy something, you can comment on this post and I’ll forward your email address to her. They could make a good present for Christmas!
