Christmas Eve Eve

[krislaughs]

*sigh*

I had a good day at work today-- another "first" surgery (removing several large stones from the bladder of a yorkie) went really well and evening appointments were sparce enough I could take my time to really talk to all th clients about their pets.

Unfortunately, I work all through Christmas weekend-- someone has to. I celebrated last weekend with my family, which was wonderful, and so I'm treating this like any other normal weekend. To be honest, it feels even less "Christmassy" than the Christmases I worked at the hospital in school. Ah well. Such is the life.

I've kind of been dating someone. :-}

I dunno how I feel about it. I like him. He's perfect for me-- if I had a checklist, he'd be a yes in every column from "PhD" to "foodie" to "athletic" and I'm living in Pennsyl-tucky where there aren't many men who don't carry firearms on them at all times or regularly use (and understand) three-syllable words, approve of Barack Obama, and read Michael Pollan... so he's unique in more ways than one. But, not gonna lie, I don't get particularly weak-in-the-knees around him. I really really want to. Gah! So I have a question for all the thirty-somethings out there:

[Poll #1660182]

Thank you for my lovely Christmas card, deirdre_c!

I started to read the Sookie Stackhouse novels, and as sacriligious as it is, I have to admit this is one of the very few instances in which I prefer the TV incarntion to the books. It's not the books' fault; the HBO series has 12 hours to explore each novel, and as fast as the series moves, they can just include *more* than each novel contains. The Tara and Lafayette characters, and even Jason and Sam, are so much more thoroughly addressed in the show. I just... it's *better*.

That said, I think I'm gonna keep reading the series anyway. :D

I think that's all. Happy Christmas Eve Eve, y'all.

Hmm, tough poll. I think that it's pretty common to lose the butterflies feeling as you've been with someone for a long time, but no matter how *old* you are, it should probably be pretty exciting when it's new.

Happy Christmas Eve Ever to you too!

Happy Christmas, even if you do have to work. I'm glad you got a chance to celebrate with your family early. ♥

Happy holidays to you, work and all!

Happy Xmas, despite the work...

And as for the True Meaning of Love... well I'm sorry, it depends on what works for the individual, and butterflies come in all sorts of different forms, and at different times. Good luck, anyway.

In re: the poll. I think if you feel it's "settling" then he's probably not the right person. However, I think if you feel it's someone you'd enjoy spending time with, both now and in the future, that a relationship based on friendship and mutual happiness in each other's company can be as satisfying and wonderful as one based on OMG BUTTERFLIES AND HEARTS FOR EYES AND TRUE LUV!!
