Monday, December 15th - Survivor's Story and 2nd Day of Christmas!

I know most people who read this blog are probably a bit mystified that I can still sound surprised when I type on a Monday "this was another busy weekend" because it seems like it has been a long time since I haven't had a busy one. I'm actually trying to think what my life was like before I got involved with planning Pride Skate '08 back in April/May and then got sucked into a more active role in Indy Pride. I must have done a lot of sitting on my ass, that's for sure. Of course, I would love to recapture some of that, but I cannot say I am regretting being more involved...except for the easy justification for not working out.

This weekend, I managed to go to two holiday parties, two drag shows, get my laundry done, go grocery shopping, buy a couple new sweaters (which I desperately needed), do some abortive Christmas shopping (I am SO freaking behind...seriously), go into work so that AT&T could install some new phone hardware, and talk my cat into using a different kitty litter system.

I'm actually most proud of the last one. My cat, Madonna (yes...you can laugh), is 18 years old, and while she pretty much doesn't show her age most of the time, well, except for the couple of times she's jumped and missed the bed at night, I was really leary about throwing both a new litter box and litter at here in one swoop -- especially since it cost 30 bucks. Cats are pretty notoriously creatures of habit, and I really didn't want to deal with the repercussions of her NOT liking it. However, after three years with wood floors, I am fed up with kitty litter tracking everywhere. She took to it, and I'm a happy camper!

So anyway, I'm a bit behind on the 12 Days of Christmas, which is a feature I did last year for only 3 days. We'll see if I get further this year. As you recall, the 1st Day of Christmas gift was Ann Coulter getting her jaw wired shut.

2st Day of Christmas - Gods of Football Calendar

First off, this is not American Football, this is my beloved Australian Rules Football, which is more like Rugby.  Now, frankly, I know nothing about the sport.  What I love about it is that the players are insanely hot and most importantly they are not shy about showing off.  Plus, they acknowledge and are comfortable with the fact that they have gay fans who think they're hot.  How many NFL players willing to admit that?

 

Now, since this is coming from Australia, it is going to be a bit pricier than your average calendar, but who cares?  Plus, it is all for a good cause: The McGrath Foundation, which is a Breast Cancer Advocate.
