i totally would have got u a card if u didnt tell me that u werent celebrating this year….BTW I found turkey sweaters

Awww Tweedie! Don’t feel bad. Send me your address and I’ll send you a card.

Heehee, blueberry pomegranate ice-cream, eh? I must admit - chocolate is more up my personal alley, but whatever works!

A belated merry day to you, as well. I think your mom is super-sweet to send a card every day in an attempt to cheer you. Think about it - the sheer cost in stamps is astronomical!!! Sorry to hear that you were/are feeling down, but congrats on the awesome magazine deal - and kudos on the comedy bit! That rocks.

You do realize that in nearly every post you apologize for not posting more? Just thought I’d put that out there. . .

Hope to see some more beautiferiffic pictures from you soon, too!

Will your Mom adopt me? Because my Mom made me insane for Christmas. In fact, I actually had people calling me to SEE IF I WAS ALIVE AND/OR NOT IN JAIL after Xmas day. Your Mom is adorable.

Also, congrats about the start-up mag! They’re such great fun [I was editor of one based in NYC for quite a while].

Of COURSE you were in a comedy show. You’re hilarious.

A) I wish I was there so we could be hilarious together and eat ice cream until we cried blueberry and pomegranate whilst watching an old episode of America’s Top Model.

B) The Christmas Spirit was not with me either this year. I think it had something to do with the fact that I HAD NO MONEY.

Brit, it looks like you might need that ritalin after all… this post is ALL over the place. Although that’s not necessarily anything out of the ordinary for you.

Hopefully your mom was able to pull you out of your funk. It’s awesome she tried so hard, you really do have special parents.

And you walked out of Walmart with donuts, ice cream, and McDonalds because they’re all way better than green beans. Seriously, who goes to the store to buy green beans? I thought people only ate that crap because it just happened to be in the freezer, and they had nothing better to eat.

@ blunt delivery:

Tweedles it is then!! I look for those things

I still get 3 cards every year, even though I haven’t sent out cards in over 6 years. Just don’t have it in me. The funk hit me pretty hard this year, too.

But really? Do you WANT to get a ton of those newsletter-type cards about Missy and Joe’s adorable kids Jr and Sissy who just so happen to be the smartest kids on earth? Not me.

I use these very newsletters to cheer me up on a down day.

Here’s my idea for next year: My little family, all sitting cozy on the couch with our faces painted like the rock band KISS. I’ll buy very fancy Christmas stationary and fill it with far-fetched stories of my kids setting all kinds of academic and athletic records…until they decide to rob the local bank…at the age of 6.

I wonder how that will go over?

I would have sent you a card too - I sent one to Lola and Mr. C…if only I had your address. Maybe next year, if you’re naughty. Did your mom make your dress in the picture? Because the kid picture on my blog for Christmas is me totally sporting some mom-made jammies. Also, you should have told me about this so-called comedy show, I’m not far. I would have come to see you. One of these days…

Congratulations on the new gig! I need to find myself one of those. You have quite a mother to send you a card everyday of December. But, what are moms for anyway? Hope you have a better new year and please keep writing. Your insanity keeps the rest of us sane.

i love it. your mom is awesome.

Thank Gawd you’re back! We were just starting to get all hot n’ blogheavy and then you pooofed off.

…Anyways.

You rule. We’re still around (obviously). Speaks volumes about your work on here. Seriously.

Hugs from over here.

Congrats on the Editor deal. You deserve it. Now get out of your funk damn it!!!!
Happy Holidays!

Missed ya!

1. Your mom is freaking ADORABLE, I love her.

2. EXACTLY the scene of Christmas morning at my house, except my parents start cursing and my brother and I had to put on nice clothes for pictures.

3. CONGRAAAAAAAAAATS on the new job! Woot!

Also, can I get a copy of this comedy routine? I MISSED YOU!

First off…we did miss you..the blogosphere is not the same with your sarcasm..mmmm no no i meant wit. Congrats on the editor job if you blog in any indication of how good you are..they are really lucky to have you…i meant that metaphorically..he he. Now get out of your funkiness and get on with some damn happiness darn it….happy new year..zman sends

Santa stole your xanax and he stole my Grey Goose. On no wait, I think I drank it all, which would explain why I’m now drinking whiskey. Congrats on the new editorial position!!! That’s badass!

While you were gone I started up a new blog. I haven’t done much with it yet. I, too, have been kinda absent from the blogosphere over the past few weeks. Congrats on the new job! And BTW…I’ve been pigging out on Mayfield’s Peppermint ice cream over the holidays. It’s a seasonal flavor, thank goodness!

Took two weeks off (from being unemployed), travelled, indulged, including (but not limited to): jelly beans, chocolate, Dr. Pepper, chips, shortbread, and replaced my daily 90 calorie Sugar Free Vanilla Latte with full on Caramel Brule Lattes.

Did Wii Fit for 2 weeks as I was away from my gym. Didn’t gain an ounce! Did four new cartoons.

Happy New Year Lil’ Phant!

Merry belated Christmas ms Buhumbug hehe just joking.

hope this new year brings you really great awesome things… like it has already i see!

good luck on the new job!!!!!

It was oatmeal with my grandma. She was eating it right out of the box, uncooked, by the handfuls. She lived to be 92 so I guess maybe she was on to something. Of course, she didn’t know who she was for the last 10 years or so. Note to self: your brain needs protein, too.

I want to come to your house next year for Christmas.

That ice cream looks amazing..and I’m lactose-intolerant. I think the cards from your mom are actually really freaking cute. The only note my mom left me over the holidays was a post-it in the kitchen yesterday morning that read, in broken English: “I mop the floor for you.” and was signed, “Your old mom”. (I think she was trying to be sarcastic and blaming me for not doing the mopping. Oooh yeah, don’t you loove living on your OWN? Your new projects sounds awesome. Personal stories/essays are my true love. Good luck!

Congrats on the magazine start-up. Being a media man myself, I look forward to hearing more about that project.

Your holiday family stuff sounded about the same as mine.

Now, if I could just get the moron down the street to take down his white-trash light display, I’d be ready to officially move into post-holiday mode. Ha!
