5 More Days Till Christmas?
…did you even know that? I didn’t until I looked at my Christmas tree on facebook. “5 more days”, that’s crazy. I am so not prepared for Christmas this year. 1) I have a couple more presents to buy 2) I haven’t even started writing Christmas cards 3) I don’t even know what I am doing on Christmas day and 4) My REAL Christmas tree isn’t even up in the living room.
I am so not prepared. And quite frankly, I am not in the Christmas mood/spirit right now. If you knew me in real life, you would say that that’s quite unlike me. Christmas is my favourite holiday of all time.

Free Bunny.
My parents have been bugging the heck out of me to give the bunny away. And each day, because the lack of love, care and attention at the cause of my busy working/school life, I cannot take care of her to the full extent. It breaks my heart when I can’t let her out the cage and watch her for half an hour, because I can’t even find the time to do that — so ultimately, Maddy would be cage-ridden. But she shouldn’t be.
So I’ve decided two days ago to put a post up on craiglist. And within an hour, I had emails pouring in for Maddy. (It was the cutesy photo of her, I tell ya, that won everyone over). So many emails, which person should I hand Maddy’s life to, and in hope that they won’t eat her? Well, I did the corporate-bitch-resume-scanning method.
If there were any spelling mistakes in the body of the email – BIG NONO!
And let me tell you, with that criteria in mind, it eliminated EVERYONE except this one very well-spoken gentleman that apparently works for Dell. “Hmmm, he seems like a sophisticated and knowledgeable man. Seems like he can provide for my little Maddy.”
Nobody had an attached “signature” at the bottom of their email, except Mr. Dell man and his girlfriend. Yes, his girlfriend works for Dell as well. “Double-income family? Works for me!”
So now I understand the feelings of a mother that wants their daughter to marry off with a reputable man — because simply, the mother just wants the best care that her daughter could ever receive. Likewise, for Maddy.
