blog update time!

It has been a terribly long time since i have blogged. I feel that an update is in order. It has been a wild month, and we have busily arrived at Christmas Eve eve! I am sitting by the light of my huge 8ft tree, and listening to the ghost of Christmas past talking to Ebenezer Scrooge on the TV. My in-laws and sis in law are visiting, and I am headed out to pick up my mom at the airport in a few minutes. I have been thinking of some random things lately that I have been meaning to blog.
1. I feel like i now think in terms of facebook status updates. Like at the NEX "Dear Nex, your clothes are ugly, I hate them. Love, Allison" or in the car "why are WA drivers afraid of snow" . My stream of consciousness has turned into little blurbs . Little 100+ character blurbs that are the nitty gritty. I feel like this is bad as far as my writing goes. I need to write in flowery words and flourishing sentences and facebook is trying to wean me from this.
Furthermore, blogger keeps underlining facebook as a misspelled word. Seriously, haven't they ever read Urban Dictionary?
Lastly
I feel as though I have a beef with Starbucks. I don't know about you but I like to order a Small Carmel Brulee Latte. Not a TALL, but a small. This is America. We serve Small, Medium, and Large, Not Tall, Venti, Benti and extra Super larggio! So every time I go I order a small tea, or a small cocoa, and the hippie ultra green barista repeats back to me 'a tall hot cocoa" and then I glare at her snide comment and confirm, YES, a SMALL cocoa. At this point they give up on my apparent "lameness" or "un coolness" I guess I would make a terrible Barista. I don't know why they need to make it so difficult. What is this trend of elitist companies, Abercrombie, you have to look like them, starbucks you have to talk like them.
They bore me. They couldn't keep up with me if they tried
