Are You Kidding Me??

Today I decided to make my monthly trip to Walmart, for my monthly crap that I need to buy. I had my list, because nowadays just remembering anything in my head is laughable. I got some vitamins, browsed the dental aisle, picked out cottonballs and some Calgon spray (that I put back later), and was heading toward the bead section (oh my gosh, beads????), when I stopped near the toy aisle with an appalled look on my face. I wasn't shocked at any of the toys. No, I had suddenly decided to listen to the music the store was playing.

It....was....a......CHRISTMAS TUNE.

What....the....fiddlesticks?????

I mean, I know there are Christmas decorations and that kind of stuff out, they've been out for weeks. But that kind of stuff you can just walk on by and not pay any attention until you really want to. However, the music is something you can't really escape!! I mean, seriously?? I walked by an employee humming to one of the tunes, and I just had to laugh at myself! I almost stopped and asked her how much she wanted to bet that by the time December 1st comes around, she'll want to blow out the speakers of any entertainment system playing Jingle Bells!!

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!! I know that I've been buying Christmas gifts for months now, but I am really really not ready for the Christmas music yet!!! Talk about getting me out of the Christmas spirit!!

I love Christmas music, but I don't start listening to it until after Thanksgiving.

I imagine that same employee will not be humming that tune in two weeks.

I managed to find some excellent sales in April, so ALL of my Christmas shopping is done at a fraction of what I spent last year.

I have been away from my blog reading for too long! You've done so writing since I was last here!! I don't know where to start on the comments! Well, I guess I'll comment on your neighbor's adorable dog/cow! My "boys" would have chewed the *&^% out of that costume, looking more like the Tazmanian Devil! And, the Christmas music? The commercialization of the birth of our Lord is so frustrating! But, I do love the presents!

Supermarkets in the UK have had advent calenders in store since September. It seems to get earlier every year.

I buy presents throughout the year as it spreads the cost which is vital when living on a tight budget.

My Most Inspiring Possession

Image
A dear friend named Judi, whose journal I've been reading for years, has brought back her ARTSY ESSAY CONTEST ! I'm very excited about this, and hope that others will read the wonderful essays already posted in Judi's blog! Here is the topic for this month's new installment: What is your favorite and most inspiring possession? Tell us about it, and if you want an extra creative challenge... tell us about it without naming it until the very last sentence of your essay:):):) I own alot of possessions. When I first moved out of my parents' house, almost 9 years ago, I took this possession with me. It was mine, I had bought it, but I did allow the other members of my family to use it from time to time while I was at home. This possession has been a tremendous outlet for me to do a wide variety of things. I was able to record the barking of our first family dog, something that was cherished when she sadly died way too early for her doggy lifespan. I also was able to save...

The Ideal Day

Once again, it's that time of month for dear Judi's Artsy Essay Contest! Please see the rules and regulations for this month here . I entered a couple month's ago when Judi decided to revive this wonderful contest, and decided I'd like to give it a shot this month! Here goes! My Ideal Day My ideal day would start out at 7am to get ready for work, instead of getting up to take a pill. My ideal day would be going to work as a teacher, instead of wondering if I'd feel well enough to do anything for that day. My ideal day would be working out at a gym, instead of hoping to have enough energy to just walk for 6 minutes on the treadmill at home. My ideal day would be to freely walk about around my home and in public, instead of being tethered to a plastic tube going into my nose, providing oxygen to keep me going. My ideal day would be remembering meeting times with friends or family, instead of keeping track of the 8 different times I need to take a pill or vitamin in ...

Lost

Growing up with pulmonary hypertension and congenital heart disease was sometimes lonely, because there wasn't anyone around me who felt the same way I did physically. No one had to stay out of gym because they got too tired and too short of breath like I did on a constant basis. No one had to wear a holter monitor like the one time I had to in 4th grade. Talk about trying to play mum ball in class, all you could hear was the monitor thing making noise. Although I could always go to sports games, I wasn't able to participate in any type of sport, because again, it was just physically way too much for my body to handle. I didn't really regret any of this. I thought it was just me and my normal. I thought I was the only person out there who really dealt with this kind of thing, but that was ok. I graduated high school, and started college. I worked, went to classes, and in the last year of college, started going out a lot more. I graduated with my education degree, and began ...
