This is all well and good when it's discussed over breakfast, but when we get there and you put a sawing tool into our husbands hands, it's a whole different story.
Christ they're like children, all wanting to act like he-men and cut down the biggest, tallest, fattest tree EVER.
To be honest I wasn't really in the mood, it was cold, I was tired for some reason, even though it hadn't been late last night, but then I had been out every night since last Wednesday (it's my age you know). Also Professor had managed to piss everybody off this morning by getting his knickers in a wad over something (poor Mafia Princess), therefore putting us all on edge. I was also driving and Tex Man and Morpheus kept screaming at me to turn BEFORE I needed to turn etc, so by the time we got to The Engine Room (big antiques store) I wasn't really in the mood for anything other than sitting in front of a nice fire with the girls, (yes ONLY girls) drinking hot chocolate, and bitching about men.
But apart from that it was a great day. No honestly it was funny because like I said I was freezing, Aphrodite wanted to find the nearest, smallest tree and leave and Mafia Princess 
as made it also very clear that a little tree was all that they're apartment needed.
Of course I wasn't wearing the correct footwear and kept slipping in the ice, also my feet turned into blocks of ice within minutes, so I was like a whining old witch, and kept cackling at everybody that spoke to me. Although I must say myself and Tex Man got our tree before anyone else, so we couldn't of been that bad. So Morpheus cut down both Tex Man's trees and ours and myself and Tex Man hauled them onto the trolleys and rolled them down the very very muddy hill to get them baled. I didn't think they'd be able to bale ours because it's only like 6 ft tall and quite slim, but they did. Morpheus stayed behind to help the others with their trees, although Hermes and Professor were there so I'm not sure why. I think he just wanted to be away from me...who can blame him.
Now because we had a stupid pimp mobile we couldn't harnass our tree on the top, so luckily Tex Man had stolen us a bed sheet to wrap the tree in, so we did that and shoved it on the back seat...perfect.
The others EVENTUALLY got there trees, we went inside to warm up at the Newswangers house, ate some sandwiches, and left. We were on the road by 3:30, not bad.
I'd like to say that we were home by 5:30, which we should of been but for some reason Morpheus (who was driving) decided to get off the West Side Highway and take 9th downtown instead, but we ran into shitloads of traffic that was heading for the Lincoln Tunnel to GET OUT of the city. Yes we had words, lots of them, but by the time we got home we were fine.
Our tree is now up, but no lights, need to get some tomorrow, forgot that I'd thrown the ones out from last year.
I'm knackered and I need to eat, so it's Indian for us tonight I think, so much for the diet huh?
Glad that no one knows me in Mexico
