But tomorrow there will be more family around (who are actually my aunt's family, so not related to me but they're super fun) so I can get tipsy and hide myself. And I should be getting a hula hoop. So I can drunkenly hula hoop my sorrows away.
And my friends in Cali just posted a bunch of pictures from a party I would have been at if I stayed out there. Insult to injury, indeed.
Stay strong Jezzies in similar situations. Fight the (X-Mas) Power.

Reading through the most-trafficked posts from this year, I found the celebrities who smoked pot thread and wasted an hour reading the comments. A lot of it had to do with the health hazards of smoking pot.
So my question is: does anyone actually know for certain what smoking pot does to your body? I've read up for years on this kind of thing and I've honestly found nothing conclusive. Mostly what's been studied is the connection between marijuana use and cancer (which seems to be close to nonexistent). I know that smoke in the lungs can cause bronchitis and other respiratory problems. Is that it?
And if I want to ease these problems, how much should I expect to spend on a decent vaporizer?

Were the comments judgy? That shit pisses me off, we all do stuff that's not stellar for our health.

Howevs! If there are any Southwest Jezebels in the house, you will appreciate my goal: turning some of the finest Hatch green chile into calabacitas. I thawed it out this morning and it is nearly ready to chop and cook with.
My mission: conquer the food store, devise the perfect kitchen playlist, make calabacitas, dance around kitchen, eat calabacitas. By the time I get back it will also be late enough in the day to drink without perceiving self as Sad Hipster Single-Mom who is sans half-Catholic Offspring for the Christian holiday.

Favorite things to do with calabacitas, in no particular order:
-Eat it by itself.
-Eat it with a blob of either sour cream or salted/peppered greek yogurt and some cheddar.
-Eat it for breakfast with a poached egg plopped in the middle.
-Eat it mixed up with leftover mashed potatoes.
So, basically, we can surmise that I like to eat it.

Fuck Bill O'Reilly, man. The Wal-Mart greeters used to say "happy holidays" until he went all "war on Christmas" on them and they had to change back to saying "merry Christmas". "Happy holidays" INCLUDES Christmas, which is a holiday!

Seriously, guys, this is the one night a year I dread due to the tension. Usually it's a cold war and there are no blowups, but I still feel wibbly and angsty and have that unreasonable pressure on myself to look and be far more fabulous than the people who dislike me. So pathetic of me. My only saving grace is that my parents-in-law are not stingy with the alcohol, so I plan to get a nice little white wine buzz on to handle the icky.
All I wanna do is stay home in warm PJs and watch cartoons. Seriously. *pout*
Plus I have a huge zit. I need a hug.

There's a reason that no one should do that. I find myself often popping into the Groupthink to tell other people not to do that very thing. But I understand the urge. So far am holding strong, despite his repeated texts.
For the mo', I am staying utterly engrossed in old eps of West Wing. Isn't there something truly wonderful about their well placed yeah's that is just sublime? Do you ever wish that you could do a well placed yeah? I try to incorporate that into my professional life, but sometimes I wonder if anyone gets it.
#groupthink

Also? DON'T WRITE THE PROFOUND HOLIDAY EMAIL. It won't help the situation at all.

I am holding strong, LBB. The encouragement helps! I know how utterly stupid and counterproductive it is, but somehow there's this part of the brain that says "oooh, this is a good idea." Like the little cartoon devil on your shoulder. "Send the email... tell [person] how you really feel and maybe [person] will understand just how amazing you really arrrrrrrrrre."

Not only is a well placed "yeah" fantastic, but there's also something to be said for a well placed "okay" which I think Dule Hill really became an expert on delivering. I watch the West Wing a lot when I'm writing poli sci papers, and it's amusing to read my papers later on and notice the syntax or turns of phrase I lifted from the West Wing. I often watch Sports Night when writing papers for other classes, so Sorkin has a pretty profound impact on my writing style in general.
And yes, don't write the email. Or write it and then delete it. But don't send it. If he doesn't already know how amazing you are, then he will probably not be moved by an email and, in any case, he doesn't deserve you.

I'm not going to. Staying firmly planted on Jez today is going to keep me from making a total emotional ass of myself.

My Friends won't let me join in any games..
And I can't sing Christmas songs
Or decorate a Christmas tree..
Or leave water out for Rudolph
'cause there's something wrong with me..
My people don't believe in Jesus Christ's divinity..
I'm a Jew, a lonely Jew.. on Christmas.
Hanukkah is nice, but why is it,
That Santa passes over my house every year?
And instead of eating Ham
I have to eat Kosher Latkes..
Instead of Silent Night
I'm singing hey-hach-dol-gavish..
And what the fuck is up
With lighting all these fucking Candles, tell me please?
I'm a Jew, a lonely Jew..
I'd be merry but i'm Hebrew
on christmas
Truer words were never spoken.

eta: I just listened to a Fresh Air interview the other day by a Humanist Rabbi and he made a persuasive argument that so much of Christmas is non-religious, American cultural heritage.

By the by, this talk made me crave Chinese food which I was then forced to order for lunch and now I have no idea what I am going to eat tomorrow. You've ruined my Jewish Christmas, I hope you're happy!
