In the Land of Lameness
By Jenn Zipp
So I took a vacation during the holidays. In the land of lameness.
I don’t know why my PMS lasts for a good 3 months straight during the winter. It could be that I’m part bear and I like to hibernate. It could be the weather. But I just think for the past few years, I’ve been so completely jaded by the holidays, consumerism, and the lost of all the magic that it once held when I was a kid.
That might also have something to do with my mother’s odd gift giving during Christmas. Two years ago, when my sister suffered a miscarriage, my mother gave her a maternity dress. This year, my bald sister due to chemotherapy received an economy sized bottle of shampoo and conditioner from “Santa”. I’m really waiting for the year that I lose my legs in a freak accident and she buys me a pair of slacks.
If there’s one good thing about the holidays, it’s that they end. And a new year begins.
Anyway… we’re back. We’re gonna try to be better this year.
