    Notes: 8

    True! Holiday! Confessions!

    • Tonight is our department holiday party and I am wearing Spanx at my desk. To quote a British pop song, I said never again, but here we are.
    • I was really excited about the party till I remembered I was an introvert. Oops! In my mind I somehow have a different personality going into these things.
    • I really don’t care what we have for Christmas dinner, but now my family’s fighting so we might just have movie popcorn for Christmas dinner. I’m okay with that. Christmas was never about the food in our household, especially since usually I was too excited to eat on Christmas Day. Then at dinner I would just sit in a corner and read instead of talking to my relatives. (Total Matilda.)
    • I got my office Secret Santa a tiny tabletop bowling set. I was reading about bowling on Wikipedia to come up with more puns for the accompanying card (because, obviously) and I had no idea there were so many regulations for the official game. I grew up bumper bowling! Surely that is not allowed.
    • I wonder if adults can arrange for bumper bowling parties. 
    • I’ve been a tea fiend at work recently because I’m always cold and it keeps me from fossilizing in place at my desk. I was fairly sure I would hate this Jasmine Green Tea when I opened it because the FLOWERS, WHOA, but it’s pretty amazing — sort of naturally sweet because of the jasmine, without added sugar. Not too perfume-y. Get on that, tea lovin’ people.
    • I’m thinking about trying to join the Half Fanatics next year. When I was in Philly for the half I was talking to a Marathon Maniac about all her running adventures and it was fascinating. If I do New Orleans and Brooklyn, I’d only have to do one more half between March 5 and the end of May to make it to the lowest rung. Getting through the NYC Half lottery would do it… or the Wisconsin Half Marathon and its adorable cheese metal… hmmm.
    • This weekend I learned that a foam roller also makes a great cat toy. When you think about it, it makes perfect sense, because cats automatically own everything in sight. “Oh, you got me a horizontal scratching post. Cool.”
