Suspiciously Like Christmas

I am not going to start this post by sounding like a old person "Christmas isn't like it used to be..." but this paticular post was brough to mind because as I sit here working, (in theory) at my desk, Christmas music came on the radio.

Now don't get me wrong, I am all about decking the halls, finding boughes of holly (or mistletoe) and randomly chortling fa-la-la-la-la. But please! This is October!

What I find to be the problem with this is that by the time Christmas rolls around, we are all more than happy to morph into drunken, leering elves at the office Christmas party. If we see red, green or any more of those "festive" metallics, we, in turn will become wreathes. When the blessed day arrives, if we hear one more jingle, smile at one more Santa, or hear one more damned carol, WE WILL GO OUT OF OUR FREAKING MINDS!!

I love Christmas, really. I just think that October is a little early to start the festivities. Really. Please be reasonable.



Ok. So maybe it wasn't a Christmas carol. Maybe the song only had the word Christmas in it.

That's bad enough. Isn't it?

This odd narrative is my life. I ended up in Pittsburgh, of all places--from the beach. I have no hobbies, other than cooking excessively and eating microwave popcorn. I enjoy shopping, the Food network, hiding the remote so the Food network cannot be turned off, find ethnic food stores and restaurants and reading voraciously. My life is decidedly pedestrian.

cookies for troops


I worked in the car business where I was required to be ruthless and soul-less wench, which is when I started this project. Since then, I've kept it up because secretly, I've always wanted to join the military. Every male in my mother's family has joined and I quietly entertain thoughts of joining. I haven't yet and don't know if I ever will, but sending the troops cookies keeps me sane. it makes me think I still have a shred of human kindness left in my withering soul. it's a small way for me to salute the men and women who are brave enough to fight for freedom. And makes me feel like I'm contributing toward troop morale--even if I'm not. So if you want to help, send me addresses of troops you know stationed overseas. you may also contribute toward the cost of chocolate chips, but don't feel obligated, that link is here only by request.
