No Bah-Humbug

I was going to tell you all about my non-vacation in Florida, but it is a bunch of bah-humbug. It would be all about how the grandfather was really mean, how we almost never left the house, how I didn't see the beach when we were only 15 minutes from it, how I hated the lack of routine because I didn't know when I was supposed to be working or not, etc., etc., etc. But I am just not in that kind of mood, I am in great mood. It is Christmas time, I love this time of year! It really brings out the child in me. While everyone here is complaining about the cold and the snow, I love it. I can't wait until we have enough snow for me to play in! I love Christmas decorations, the town is beautiful with them up. I have them in my room and we have them all over the house. When I look at them, I get all giddy. I have a small Christmas snowglobe and when I turn it over, I get excited. I am heading to New York City this weekend to meet up with a good friend and see the Christmas decorations there, what could be better than that! I get to see my family soon, we are going to Chico Hot Springs in Pray, MT and I can't wait! I miss my family so much, so seeing them will be wonderful... and I love MT and can't wait to be there again! So while I was going to tell you about Florida, I am not going to because I don't want to be Scrooge, I want the child in me to stay out and be happy!

Can't wait to see your giddy self! And I wouldn't be the sister I am if I didn't point out that it doesn't take Christmas for you to act like a child.

Tee hee. That's so me to say that.

You are right jdoc, it is so you to say that:)! And you are also right, I don't need Christmas to act like a child. I think everyone should act like a child sometimes, as long as it is at the right times! jm, I can't wait to see you too!

"Absence makes the heart grow fonder"

I was always a bit skeptic of this phrase. How can being away from a person make you fonder? With time, you will slowly start to forget the sound of their laughter and the scent of their hair. You will forget the way they dance and the way they like their toast. Sure, when you see them again, when they laugh or dance, all those things come rushing back. Being away may make you yearn for them, but you no longer know them as well as you used to. At least that is what I used to think. I should have know this phrase was true since whenever I would see my sisters again, it was like no time had passed. I don't know what it was that made me realize all that I took for granted, maybe it is being away from home for so long or my travel mishaps or my friend's car accident or maybe just that I am getting older, something made me see how I took everything for granted in my life before I came here. It was so easy, I could go up the stairs or across the hall or get in my car and spend a day ...

I Heart The Office!

Image
My sister introduced me to the television show The Office . And I heart it. I saw Seasons 1 and 2 on dvd in the past week (I watched all of Season 2 between last night and today). The only problem now is that they are half way through Season 3, so I have missed several episodes and it won't come out on dvd until at least this summer... hmm, problem. But you want to know the one thing I heart even more than The Office ? Jim Halpert/John Krasinski (character/actor). He is on the show and I have a huge crush on him. I know what you are saying, you are 25 years old (turning 26 in 2 1/2 months) and crushes on famous people at this age is a little weird, and usually I would agree. It has been many years since I have had a crush on a star. But Jim/John is so an exception. In fact, if I could find a real life guy here in Minnecrap that looks like Jim/John, makes the same facial expressions, has the same sense of humor and is as nice, sweet and kind as him, so basically exactly like Jim/J...

All you need is love?

This is a question people have asked for a long time. Is it true? Is love all we really need? I think it would depend on who you ask. When it comes to young children, love is all you need. You know your parents love you and spend time with you, that is what is most important to a child. You don't understand the importance of money or work or health, all that matters is love. Maybe that is what is so appealing about childhood, why we would all do anything to go back, because we were innocent and love really was what made the world go round. As an adult, I now see things differently. Love isn't all there is, we need so much more. Some would say that makes me cynnical, but I am not. I want to believe that love is all we need and for the most part I agree with that statement, however I see that there is a lot more that goes along with love. As a parent, your role is not only to love, but to protect, comfort, support, provide, but common sense says that those things automatically go...
