It�s Christmas Eve, and I�ve still got quite a few things to do, but I am so tired! I went to work, and it wasn�t nearly as much fun as the last Christmas Eve I worked� probably because my brother wasn�t there this time. Still, it was pretty nice- once we closed up shop, we worked in a companionable silence and finished in very good time. Both of my brothers came over when I got home to exchange gifts- I got a cheap low-budget vampire movie from my one brother, and a CD of the Smurfs singing pop songs from the other. I get the weirdest presents from my family� but they know me well enough that they can get me cheezy gifts because they know what kind of cheeze I�ll find amusing and what I�ll just think is horrid. And yes, I know cheese is spelled with an �s�� but not in this context. We�re talking cheeze with a capital �Z�.

I was fool enough to go to the Famer�s Market this morning. Got lots of lovely fresh fruits and veggies for cheap, and a boneless turkey breast for Christmas dinner, which looks like it�ll be dinner for two. I had expected more guests, but I can be happy with a quieter dinner, especially after braving the crowds at the market this morning. I was being stalked by a weird old man who asked me if I wanted to try his all-organic mincemeat, and I think the guy I bought Clementines from was trying to pick me up. I suppose that�d be great if I liked bananas.

Remind me next year to get the turkey way ahead of time. I paid way too much for a fresh one because I left it to the last minute and I didn�t have time to thaw one and the grocery store was all sold out, and I am positive they jacked the price up because it�s Christmas eve and they know anyone buying turkey today is desperate. I got corn-on-the-cob and some lovely mushrooms for me- vegetarian holiday meals can get very samey if you don�t change what veggies you serve. I even got some peaches for dessert.

Yes, I know that was a run-on sentence, but I am too tired to care about proper grammar at the moment. I think I�m going to have some juice, then curl up on the couch with the dog and watch Christmas specials- the Blackadder Christmas special for sure.
