			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Oh yeah.?  There&#8217;s nothing like a baby on a time change to? put a little extra spring? in your step.?  Or a little? extra baggage? under your eyes.?  No, really&#8211;I enjoy waking up at 4:45 in the morning.?  Almost as much as I enjoy cutting hound dog toenails.?  It just hacks me off a? teensy weensy? bit that she goes back to sleep instantly, whereas I toss and turn, beat my pillow, and check the clock every five minutes in? some? sort of psychotic, sleep-deprived, delirium-induced ritual.?  Hopefully this is not indicative of what to expect for the upcoming month.?  Because there&#8217;s nothing worse than? a grumpy Santa.?  Bah humbug, already.</p>
<p>So, I just had a birthday the day after Thanksgiving.?  Which was actually quite nice, once we got past? the baby plane vomiting incident.?  And no,? I did not turn 45, regardless of what the stinkin&#8217; Wii fit says.?  That has got to be the most masochistic birthday present ever.?  I mean, I did ask for one, which demonstrates that? I&#8217;m obviously a glutton for punishment.?  But seriously, to add 7 years to my actual age just because I can&#8217;t stand on one leg and balance without my foot looking like it&#8217;s having a seizure??  Totally unfair.?  It&#8217;s not like the darn thing can actually see my wrinkles.?  Or can it??  CAN IT??  And I fail to see what&#8217;s wrong with missing a measly eight gates on the downhill slalom game.?  I mean, if they were all that important, they should really think about putting them closer together.?  Like in a straight line.</p>
<p>I don&#8217;t know about you, but so far, I&#8217;m finding 38 to be a bit of an awkward age.?  It&#8217;s too old for mini-skirts, yet too young for a mid-life crisis.?  Maybe I could combine the two and have a mini? crisis.?  Which is in the works if that baby keeps waking me up butt early.?  How can I be expected to assume crazy? balancing poses?  when I can barely keep my eyes open??  On second thought, maybe I should try closing them the next time I slalom&#8211;it could only be an improvement.</p>
<p>I guess I&#8217;ll give? the Wii fit another chance&#8211;&#8217;tis the season, after all.?  But seriously&#8211;if I see &#8220;Wow, your wrinkles look way more pronounced this morning&#8211;Add five more years to your Wii age,&#8221; up on the screen, I&#8217;m getting out the jackhammer.</p>
