I’m doing a half day today to get things tightened up before I go see my family for vacation. My plane leaves at 4. I am so tired and burned out that I’ve decided to stay for the entire winter holiday. I don’t even care that I’ll miss out on New York New Years Eve (Bloke has a show anyway). I just want to sleep, eat like a pig and go thrifting/burgerbang spotting with my little sister. I could honestly give a crap about fabulous parties! Sometimes a girl needs a week off to hibernate and carbo-load (not exactly optional at my parents house, as all meals include at least one kind of potato if not three). I plan to happily attend every hideous, inspirational movie that my mother suggests (even if it’s clearly for people under the age of 10). And I’ve promised myself that I will not make a stink about not being able to get a decent salad within a hundred miles.

Can’t wait to get out of here!
