Turkey Day and other fun stuff...

If you are going to the grocery store in the next couple of days you had better wear your football pads. People get crazy around the holidays when it comes to shopping. It doesn't matter if you are shopping for food or gifts, the loons are running free during these times.

For example: If you have been bumrushed by an elderly lady for the last can of cranberry sauce, you have experienced that blessed time we call Thanksgiving.

If you have bruises all over your hips from the carts in the grocery store then you may have survived the wonderful holiday season.

Hopefully, you do not count yourself in the same category as those crazy people who mace someone in the department store for the last TMX Elmo. Who knows, maybe these people keep score cards every year for the best present taken from another person in a store. It is probably a 10 point scale. You get a seven for a punch in the nose, an 8 for a kick to the groin, and a ten if you make the person bleed and take their toy. Ah, well, the world has come to this.

Ok, ok, so maybe the world isn't as bad as all that. Then again, when I go the grocery store tonight I fully intend to come home with battle wounds, so maybe it is that bad.

At least I don't have kids yet, because then I would be one of those crazy people dodging elbows and fists for that "special toy" for little Brennan or sweet Ayla. Who knows I may just end up being the one throwing the punches. Nah, I was raised better. I'll just send my husband out to do the dirty work.

*Insert evil laughter* Haha, haha, haha!

Anyways, keep your head down in the grocery store and get your purchases off of ebay this holiday season. It is ALOT safer that way.

Have a good one!

Friday, Friday, Friday...


Ok, so it seems that I only post on Mondays and Fridays. How odd. Not really, those are the days when I have something to talk about.

Well, the holidays are coming up and I am really starting to get excited. Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years, and of course the next day... MY BIRTHDAY! YAY!

Ok, Ok, so I will be getting a year older, but who cares. I am going to be 26 though. Where did the time go? I still feel in some ways that I am that shy little 12 year old that was scared to death that I was never going to have anything good in my life.

So, now I am married, 5 years this past June 2nd, we own a home of our own, and we have 2 wonderful pets that make us smile everyday. I think I am doing pretty darn well for myself.

Of course like everyone else I have things I would like to change in my life, like my job. I, as you know if you have read any of my posts, want to be a writer. It will happen, it may just take a little longer than I at first thought. Good things come to those who wait.

Have a great day and a great weekend!

Get into the holiday spirit, there is no escaping it now, the decorations are already up in every store you go to. The radio stations are mixing in some of the songs and that tingle is in the air.

Now if the weather would get below 70 I may be fully in Christmas mode! ;-)

Friday Again...

Ok, so it is Friday again and I was actually pretty happy about that until I found out that I didn't place in the top 11 of the Scarlet Boa Writing Contest. The thing is, I know that my entry was better than some of the other "finalists". I guess that they just had a bigger range of people they got to vote for them. I think that a contest like this would be more fair if there was one person or a panel of judges to make the final decisions on who is in the top 11. Then others could vote.

Ah, well! Such is life. I am not going to quit though, this is just a minor setback.

Well, everyone have a great weekend and be happy!
