Something’s Afoot In DC
I don't know if the attendees are aware that those seats are NOT heated.

OK, I get why it has to be in January. It’s the start of a new year/ new term and the Constitution says so but it is colder than a witch’s tit in DC right now. How cold is it? I’ve been to Sweden in January. It was warmer there.

Yuletide Faves
Honorable Mention: Office holiday parties.
I feel like making a list today. Times being as tough as they are I feel it’s more important than ever to take pleasure in and savor the little things that more often than not put a smile on our faces. These are 11 things that never fail to make me happy.
- Bing Crosby meet your neighbor David Bowie, he likes to sing too
- Four Little Swans
- Peppermint Hot Chocolate with some Bailey’s and kahlua, a chenille throw and a viewing of “Jaws” with buds is a nice combo
- cheap calendars
- walking outside and suddenly smelling someone’s fireplace going
- toddlers stuffed in outerwear that renders them immobile, my favorite is when their just lying on the department store floor while their mothers flip through the racks
- listening to Holidays on Ice by David Sedaris
- A Charlie Brown Christmas soundtrack
- the USA network will be playing Mermaids round the clock soon
- Starbucks holiday themed cups
- white lights everywhere
