Holiday Ramblings

Here are a few thoughts I have about the holiday season......
  • Do you always feel like you always have to place money in the "red kettle" from the Salvation Army? Since they are outside so many stores, I always feel bad when I walk past the attendant and don't put money  in the "red kettle" because the last store I was at I put money in there. I always feel like the person  ringing the bell is always giving me the evil eye and that I need to offer an explaination as to why I am not putting money in their kettle.
  • What did we do before dollar stores carried wrapping paper? I  know what we did ....was paid alot more money for something that people ripped apart within 5 seconds.
  • Why do co-workers who do not normally cook always decide that the office holiday party will be the time to start? It is is suppose to be a joyous occassion, not one that ends up with everyone going to the ER later that evening. My advice is that  if you do not normally cook..do not start until after the holidays and volunteer to pick up a pre-made veggie tray or chips and salsa for the party.
  •  Why is the song, "The Christmas Shoes" so depressing? I know that it was supposed to teach the spirit of Christmas but is just a sad song.
  • Why do we never prepare enough ahead so that we can actually enjoy the holidays? Even if we do prepare,there is always something that comes up.
  • Why is there always someone on your guest list that you forget and have to end up "re-gifting" a gift to make sure that they have something?
  • I think that people drive so crazy around the holidays. I understand that you have to get your Christmas shopping done, but do you have to try to kill me in the process or ghetto park in the parking lot of store. Don't let a little snow or ice be on the ground while all this is going on, then it becomes "Cars on Ice". It really  just makes you want to take the bus.

    Happy Holidays!!

    Fill in the Blank Friday--Sleep

    1.   The last thing I do before going to sleep is         turn on the TV and set the sleep timer . 2.   When I can't sleep I      watch TV until I fall back to sleep   . 3.   The first thing I do when I wake up is     go to the bathroom . 4.   When I'm tired I      can fall asleep anywhere. I have fallen asleep in a folding chair, on a couch , outside, sitting up.....let's say when I am tired, I am tired . 5.   My dream bedroom would be       have lots of white linens and would feel very breezy. It would be filled with antiques and have a large sitting area. It would be shabby chic . 6.   If I could wake up anywhere tomorrow morning it would be        on a porch on a beach house listening to the waves roll in and the feeling the sun rise on my face . 7.   The longest sleep I've ever had was    I a...

    On the Road Again.....

    It was between Chicago and the state of Pennsylvania. Well....the state of Pennsylvania won out for our little trip for our first anniversary. It is a shorter drive than going Chicago, especially since we do not want to spend most of our mini-vacation in the car. I have a co-worker that lived in Pennsylvania and she gave me some great places for us to visit like, the Phipps Conservatory, the incline at Mt. Washington and the Pittsburgh Zoo ( I think that the hubby would like the aquarium). It is hard to believe that it has been almost a year since our wedding, but I can not wait for our time away. Even though I want to see somethings while we are there, I really just want to relax. If  you know any great places to go or see in the state of  Pennsylvania let me know. We are looking at taking some three day weekend trips in the summer and maybe a week long trip to the beach in the fall.  Do you have any plans for trips anytime soon or this summer? Share we might want to g...
