Times are hard…and I’m hella busy. So busy that I am spending all my free time writing papers before the semester ends next week (on Dec. 5).  So this week, my new twitter friend, d-paul, who also has his own blog, has so graciously offered to guest post here at Life in the Middle Lane, while I crank out a couple of papers on Inclusionary Zoning.

I think he’s quite awesome (and damn near as random as me), so even though he called me a weird bird (yeah, I know), I still think he’s cool enough to hang with us,

He’s whipped us up a little something, something to get us into the holiday spirit (or not).I, personally, am boycotting the holidays.  But YAY, Thanksgiving (and days out of work!)

Enjoy

Paul’s Holiday Truths

Some thoughts about the days to come…

(he had a really cute picture here, but I don’t know how to make it display…)

-          Thanksgiving should be moved to a Friday.  Well that or just make it a 2-dayer…

-          Turkey contains some sort of muscle relaxant…

-          Christmas letters are so corny that I actually have come to like reading them…

-          Speaking of corny, this is your window to wear that sweater you got last year…

-          No putting up trees before Thanksgiving – it’s just lame…

-          Yams are low in calories – right?

-          Red wine goes with everything – screw the pundits…

-          Pumpkin pie should be cut into quarters – this way we don’t need to feel bad about asking for more…

-          A gift available online is a good gift…

-          Who invented wrapping presents anyway?

-          Eggnog is yummy, but why not just drink the brandy?

-          Christmas music is sort of amusing, but never before December.  What’ up with that?

-          When in doubt, always ask for a book.  You just might learn something…

-          Window for wearing my red button down starts in 10 days…

-          Gratitude is good for you…
