It is December again.

Here's the thing. I write every day. It just isn't neat and tidy in the blog.
One day when I am gone there will be a body of cyber ephemera all over the place.
People will construct new patterns of grieving as they find bits of their loved ones scattered about,
never deleted.
Sorry, didn't know this was going there.

Here is someone else's elf. 
I do not have one thing up in my apartment yet for Christmas. 
Over the years I have maintained that I am the most Christmasy person I know. 
Cutting it kinda close this year. 
Let us begin some festivities!

This elf looks dubious. Edgy. Like he could wack you with the candy cane.
(not my elf) 
Like trick or treat get something on this tray quick. 
Candy and Martinis.

*my photo, not my elf.
The only elf I would really want at my place is that long haired blonde one in The Lord Of The Rings. He could stay over any time he wanted.


That elf is not as bad as this one

Thinking about Christmas. ♥ Chloe

Have I really not posted here since December?

Yep. I really did not post here since December.
I also really just stood in the kitchen and ate cold leftover fresh (not dried) ramen noodles with tiny chicken meatballs in a broth flavored with garlic, ginger, and lemon. With Scallions and Shitake mushrooms.
Above is the original dish when it was hot.
Last night.

For those of you catching up, I have a pregnant daughter who has moved into my apartment, due in the middle of August. She is doing well and likes to eat. That is a good thing.
Here are some daughter eating well photos for your enjoyment.
Only for enjoyment! She is toned and looks great and walks and works a physically demanding job.
Please do not misunderstand me goofing on her eating!

In other news, I am very unhappy at my low paying retail job that I took to pay the rent.
Working 6 days a week to pay the rent interferes with looking for more productive work.

In the meantime, I have met some new people and have some projects up my sleeve.
On my one day off, I like to go over here.
