Gin and Soda

I can't believe none of you, out of the three, commented on my "smoking" in the New Year's Eve photos. I figured I'd get a "I didn't know you smoke" comment at least. Sheesh. No, I don't smoke. I freaking made a PROP for you people!!!

I just want to whine. I realize that you can whine about the fact that I haven't written anything on here in a while, all three of you, but I want to whine about something better. I, as a teacher, had a two week Christmas holiday. I, as a big cootie magnant, was sick for one of those weeks. A whole week! And I'm STILL sick. It freaking sucks. Freaking sinus virus slash occasional fever slash I want to sleep all day slash shit. It freaking sucks a LOT. We're not supposed to be sick DURING the break. We're supposed to get sick during the school year so we can stay HOME, away from the sniveling kids. And did I mention that I'm freaking STILL sick??! I'm a snot haven.

So, my New Year's Eve was NOT the party that most normal people had. In fact, I had to skip a really cool party that I wanted to go to. Becuase who wants a snotty, whiney, no-make-up-faced, un-showered, pile of depression teacher on a crappy vacation type of person at their party? Yeah, no shit. That's why I didn't go. However, I did manage to score a free steak and champagne at the parental units' house. Score. I forced myself to shower and went over. And not to let the night die without SOME fun, I managed to get some pictures for you. Enjoy.
