i was kinda bummed that i only get a 3-day weekend each for christmas and new year's (i get tons of 3-day weekends during the year to make up for this). so i found a way to get all the 3-day weekends throughout the year and have a longer christmas/new year's break than anyone i know (excluding students). other wonderful byproducts of this "discovery" include figuring out how to get out of most of my christmas shopping and a tiring day of bridesmaid-dress shopping, getting rid of something i don't really need, finding a way to not let a bunch of my sick days go to waste, and going against a doctor's suggestion to wait until normal business hours to get checked out.

last sunday at around 11.30pm, i became an appendix-less zippy.
