Yesterday was another one of those deary weather days that just zap me of all energy and will to live. I honestly cannot believe anyone would want to live in Seattle if the weather is like that all time.
By the time I got home, I was just ready to pass out, which I actually did. I started to watch Oprah about the woman who's abuser had their 13 year old son video tape him verbally and physically abusing her, and then I was out like a light. I'm not sure if that makes me a sociopath or just tired. I'm going to choose tired, mainly because I don't want to admit the chemical imbalance.
In other news, planning is apace on the Holiday Party. The food is ordered, and I was able to get enough for a price that will still give me $200 to play with for prizes. Plus, someone found 14 $10 gift cards for AMC Movie Theaters. So, I have plenty to play with. Since we don't have enough for everyone to have something, I just have to come up with an equitable way to distribute. I've already planned on using $100 to get Simon gift cards (2 $25 thrown into the White Elephant exchange and $50 for a raffle), but that still leaves me with $100 and $140. So, give me some ideas! I wish I had enough to just give everyone a gift bag...
Finally, I need to vent (literally) about my new neighbor below me. As you recall, she is also the one with the yapping, yippy dog, which has thankfully stopped barking for 18 hours a day, but now, she has revealed her love of gas station incense. You know the kind. You can get 100 sticks for $2, and it smells like some sort of disgusting cross between lavender and rest stop. Well, this "woman" burns it every night, and since I am in an older building, she might as well be burning it in my bedroom. Tyler has suggested maybe she just smokes a lot of pot, but I can't even smell the tell tale signs of that. I just think she enjoys smelling like a cheap skank (ala Paris Hilton). I feel another anonymous note coming on...

ugh, incense is one of my biggest pet peeves. I def would go with the anon note. Is she's just smoking a lot of pot, then at the least she can spring for some nicer cover-up. - but hope the holiday party goes well!
When you say "found" do mean they were laying around and someone "found them" or someone suggested they be purchased. If someone "found them" I'd check the expiration.
In regard to the extra money...how about buying some scratch off lotto tickets and let everyone randomly draw one? Would that offend some folks because it is "gambling"? Just an idea.
