Day Before Christmas Eve

As John said in his comment on yesterday's post, today is sometimes known as Christmas Adam. Just a little joke. Ha ha.

I'm listening to the Messiah quite loudly in my office as my officemate is absent and no one else is complaining. Sometimes I sing or whistle or hum along. I really can't abide other Christmas music. This is about as far as I can go to get into the holiday spirit. Oh, I might get some greenery at TJs tonight if they have a little tree in a pot.

My friend Leti and I were going to go out for lunch today but she and her son (who also works here part-time) suggested we get the others in the office together and have lunch in the conference room. They offered to run down to the Mission to get Mexican food. I am so full. I don't think I'll have room for the pumpkin pie she brought for another couple hours. I ate huaraches (corn tortillas filled with black beans), carnitas, queso fresco and fresh salsa (pico de gallo). Others ate chicharrones (pork crackling), hot red sauce, and refried beans. Arturo even got me some horchata (a rice drink) which I learned to love in Spain.

I just bought a hard drive on Amazon to back up my files at home. I thought about getting a portable drive like a Seagate's FreeAgent Go but went with a LaCie 1 TB (yes, that's terabytes) drive. While I was on Amazon I couldn't just get one thing, no, I had to fall for their buy-3-get-1-free paperback deal and get some urban fantasy books my library doesn't normally carry. Merry Christmas to me.
