Tew Hearts SJ

I went outside to get my newspaper this morning and discovered a new friend (Teddy Tew) sitting on my doorstep. He's absolutely adorable and he's going to sleep with me every night (and with the kitties).

Today was outrageously (think Lionel Richie)wrong and long. Echo is giving two readers (boy and girl) a makeover. I had to be at the stylist's house at noon. I took all three to the mall, shlepped around snapping pictures of them trying on clothes. Then off to get their hair done and then up to North Scottsdale for their photo shoot.

It sounds like fun but I hate shopping. Plus, this story isn't for the issue that closes this Thursday. It's for the issue after that. I haven't done any writing for THIS issue. Mainly because I've been doing the ground work for this issue and coordinating the makeover stuff (they also got new glasses and facials and stuff). So it's been a lot of work and I'm stressed cuz I need to write for THIS issue.

However, the makeover stuff has been worth it. The two contestants looked so freaking good in the photographer's studio. I was so happy, because THEY were so happy and gracious. And they looked fantastic. Although I was so flipping tired, it was really rewarding.

I finally got back to the office at 6. By the time I returned e-mails (work-related) and did other crap it was 7:30. I was too tired to write, so I came home.

RANDOM MESSAGE -- If you're expecting a Christmas card for me, I won't get around to writing them until Christmas Eve, so consider them "holiday cards."

I'm watching Home Alone 2 (I'm down here you big horse's ass!). It's not as good as the first, but I love Tim Curry in it.

Happy TUNESDAY MOTHERFUCKERS!!!

My final Christmas carol is dedicated to someone special. And YOU know who you are. ;-)

It's called Gabriel's Message and it's by Sting.
