Looks like most of you have this week off

Well lucky for you.

Not that you can read this.

Well guess what? I'm putting the site on hiatus starting this Friday and publishing will resume on January 3rd, 2012.

I may publish a New Year's greeting and I may wish you all a Merry Christmas and if I get a drunken text or two, I'll throw those up in case you get bored and are looking for something to read.

You know what's a good drink? An amaretto sour. But only the way I make it. Take eight ounces of lemon juice. Add two tablespoons of sugar. Shake the crap out of that in a cocktail shaker. That's your sweet and sour mix. Take three ounces of that, pour it into a glass with ice and add one ounce of Disaronno Amaretto Liqueur. That's my holiday drink. It's my gift to you. Enjoy.

Sorry what was that?

My plans for the holiday?

Sleep. And lots of it. But first, I must bake.

    Merry Christmas! and enjoy your time off.

    This actually makes me feel better. I am on a plane on Wednesday and will be without a computer until the new year. At least I won't be missing much.

    I wish I had this week off. But alas... my work gives us the week between Christmas and New Year's - awesome - and I think The Crazy Train needs a break.

    Enjoy your time off, CJ. You've certainly earned the break.

    That drink is awesome. I had 3 in a row last night while I was making truffles. You can see when the alcohol kicked in because those balls got much bigger than the ones made when I was sober.

    ps. I don't really want to take a break but since I won't be riding the train, I suspect content will be minimal.

    I've been asked to do a Top 10 of the best posts of 2011. I'll probably swing that. I did it for 2010.

    Might even make it a poll to see how many agreed with my choices.

    Off after Thursday until the 3rd. Ahhhhhhhh . . . sleep. Oooooo, can't wait for the top 10 list! I'm still thrilled I made the 2011 Shout Out's list. Yes, I lead a sad, pathetic life.

    No way! Which one was yours?

  14. lswgirl13December 20, 2011 at 11:05 AM

    The one asking if it's okay to sleep with your cousin. Just kidding! I can't remember which month, summertime, and I was responding to some chick who said she was torn about being faithful to her boyfriend who was in prison and this really nice guy who wanted to go out with her.

    That was you! That was one of the best ones. The other good one was by "divorce attorney".

    Why thank you Squiggles, maybe I'll invite you to the Shout Out gala. Okay, so there is no such thing. Oh yes, wasn't divorce lawyer the guy who responded to the guy who was thinking on acting on his "feelings" towards his sister-in-law??? I swear some of these people just make up shit to get a rise out of people. I still think my favorite from last year was the "Oshawa" talk.

  17. SquigglesDecember 20, 2011 at 2:19 PM

    Yup, that would be the guy. The oshawa talk was ok. It went on for way tooooooo lllloooooooonnnnnnnggggggggg.

    And yes, people do make stuff up, like (fingers crossed) the cousin one. But like the other shout out below it, yes, I did hear the banjos.

    You mean the staff at tonightnewspaper make stuff up.

    It's so obvious... it's to incite participation.

    CJ have a very Merry Christmas! Hopefully restful and uneventful!

    BTW: I think it only fair that if you get your multiple personalities to response here, the T.O.night people should get to make up content too!

    ;-)

    Can't you have a guest blogger? You know, like when Billy draws Family Circus.

    Do you seriously want me to have my 6 year old write the blog next week?

    She's away Wed to Fri but I'll give it a shot and have her write some stuff in advance that I'll queue to post. Expect a lot of dinosaur stuff. Kid's crazy about dinosaurs.
