Ohhhh, you really thought you were the center of the universe? Poor thing.

I'd like to rant a bit about self centered people and how I have no place for them in my life.  This species of people are very interesting to me and serve as a constant source of bewilderment.  You probably know one-- the person that can turn any situation into their problem.  Example below:

You:  "Hi Bob.  I can't come into work today because I broke my arm hanging Christmas lights."

Them:  "No problem Dave.  I actually broke my arm, too.  I didn't do it hanging Christmas lights though.  I was saving a kitten from a burning house as well as a litter of puppies, and I fell out of 19th story window."

You:  "Alrighty then."

Yep.  You know one of those.  Some people also call this phylum "Johnny One Ups," or in my vocab.... Thunder stealers.  Anyhoo, my point is that Thunder stealers (TS) need to shut it and move on.  Some way or another TS' need to come to their own conclusion that the world's axis doesn't have their initials on it.

In better news, I put up our Christmas tree yesterday.  Good riddance.  Only a few days before Christmas..... Chris said it's a waste of time but I STRONGLY disagree.  You must have a tree for Santa to know where the presents go.  Please follow the timeline of events:

Christmas lights on a house = road map for Santa to figure out where to drop off toys.  If you don't have a house or Christmas lights, a simple mental note passed on via ESP works as well.

Christmas tree = where to put the toys for the boys and girls and puppies

Reindeer = a natural Hemi that Santa uses to get around

I know I'm not getting any presents from Santa this year because he and Jesus made my wedding day awesome AND Kasia wakes up soft every day which is like the gift that keeps on giving.

Piggybacking on Carrie's idea to play the "What If I Won the Lottery Game:"

If I won a gazillion dollars this is what I'd do, in no specific order:

1.  Pay off my students loans as well as my siblings, Katie Whorf's and Kevin Maloy's.  Lord knows medical school debt is similar to the Greek economy.

2.)  Pay off my parent's house, my house, Carrie and Dave's house.

3.)  Hire a serious contracting/landscaping crew to give my mom a kick ass kitchen, and a sweet sanctuary backyard (that looks like Kihei beach with a giant pool).

4.)  Pay off Carrie's medical bills from when Greta was borked.  I will also use additional funds to find the doctor that hurt Greta and Carrie and give her a vaginal injury that will make her pee her pants forever and have constant diarrhea.

5.)  Take my entire ohana on a sweet vacay to either the British Virgin Islands or Park City, Utah.

6.)  Buy two vacation homes, one in Michigan on a lake and one in the woods in Colorado.

7.)  Buy Doug E Fresh the hot yellow sexpanther Corvette he's always wanted.  For good measure, I'll have a Canadian flag decal thrown on the hood.

8.)  Hire a personal trainer to have at my house everyday.

9.)  Build a house that looks like the one below:
