I know I've been AWOL for the past couple of weeks. Life has taken me by the horns. I've been depressed lately as I work more and have time for less. I've been online but mostly to chat and Instant Message. I haven't felt like doing any blogs lately. Work still sucks but I think my home life has gotten better. It's only been a couple of days but I am optimistic that it will stay that way. Christmas is in only a week and a half and I am trying to get into the spirit. I still have shopping to do and decorate the house.

Since I have been spending too much time online, I've decided to try and curb back. It is very addicting especially when you are chatting non-stop. I guess I haven't been using TV.com much is probably because I like instant gratification and forums and blogs just don't do it. Email is okay but actually talking to someone has it's benefits.

Actually it is one of my online friends (you know who you are) who has helped me get out of my rut. I am trying to better myself and do things that will benefit me and my family. It really is great when you have a friend who is truly a friend and wants to help you any way they can. To listen to your problems when they have their own problems to deal with and try and help you solve yours. If only to have an ear to listen when you want to talk about something even when there isn't an answer. Just to be there for you. And of course you should be a friend back and help them in any way you can. Everyone should have a friend like that.

NOW HERE'S YOUR JOKE:

"No, no, I don't bake cookies. You're thinking of those dorks at Keebler."

"You'd look great in a Raggedy Ann wig."

"I taught Santa everything he knows."

"Even Santa doesn't make candy as sweet as you."

"I've got the keys to the sleigh tonight."

"I get a thimbleful of tequila in me and I turn into a wild man."

"I'm a magical being. Take off your bra."

"I can get you off the Naughty List."
