WTF?
What happens when you go to write a blog and realize you don’t have MS Office on your computer?
Exactly.
I used to have it but my computer began making a microphone feedback noise that was killing the owls and squirrels in my yard. I had to set everything back to factory conditions if I wanted to survive and wanted critters in my yard. This means I lost everything on the d@mn computer that wasn’t there when I bought it.
I reset the thing just before Thanksgiving. Can I help it if I haven’t had time to reinstall MS Office?
Can I help it if I can’t find the CD’s to MS Office?
Can I help it if I’m 4 days before Christmas, have no Christmas blog, just spent my last $100, just read Dawn Weber’s wonderful Chirstmas poem, and find myself fighting the Christmas spirit?
Can I help it if I’m hopeless?
I just left Wal-Mart and came home to find this mess.
I haven’t time.
I haven’t ideas.
I haven’t anything.
Well, that’s not exactly true.
I felt a little bit of Christmas spirit about an hour ago.
I tried to ignore it.
It wouldn’t go away.
So I did a good deed.
It still wouldn’t go away.So I went shopping, spent all my money on other people which only made the spirit grow.
I’m trying to be a Scrooge. It’s not working.
So, Dawn Weber, here is my reply to your Witch-Mas, full of Christmas (hic) spirits.
I’ve wrapped all the presents
I’ve bought the dead

Hahahahahahahahaha-to infinity! “A bottle of wine lingers there.” One of the best lines EVER!!!! I bow to you, my Wanda-Grinchy (Wrinch?) friend. This is flippin’ awesome. I will share!!!
Great Christmas poem, Joanie
Loved the poem. And the lead in. I’m heading out to the wine store right now. See you in a bit. 🙂
Great post. I agree with the bottle of wine line. I just read this post out loud to my other half and that poem rings well. We both loved it.
Jumping Wanda Je’Sus Lopez!I couldn’t help myself either,Wanda.I try to be a Scrooge,and most years I succeed,but today i n a moment of weakness I caved in and bought another stockpot for cooking, or plumbing,whichever need comes first.
I don’t know anything about any of the MS stuff except most of it seems to be troublesome junk. I have managed to learn how to use Notepad and Wordpad,thanks to your previous advice.
Loved your poem.

The poem is lovely, and I stand 4-square behind the need for a bottle of wine. I have a friend (?) here who calls me and after while she realizes that she has spent most of the call whining. I frequently suggest that she try some “wine” instead of the “whine” and if she’s successful at that I’ll bring her some cheese to go with the wine.
Hope you get your machine back in working order. I love modern technology–when it’s working right. And on those other days–well, it’s almost Christmas and I don’t want Santa to think I’m being bad.
