The Calm before the Storm

There are times when I have witty posts of observations about life and the joys and sorrows of being human.  Unfortunately, this is not one of those times.  The holidays are coming closer.  Deadlines must be met!  My mind gets obsessed over things like that. 

The house is fairly clean.  Cookies have been baked.  The pumpkin pie has been baked.  We are ready for Thanksgiving!  I’m looking forward to it.  Holiday shopping is getting done.  The holiday pic has been taken and now just needs to be added to the cards.  Then boxes will be mailed off on time and all will be done for the holidays til the big day of opening presents and being with family.  I repeat, I’m actually looking forwards to things and not getting stressed about just the idea of it all.  Who knows though? This might just be the calm before the storm and then the mass panic will happen but til then, I’m going to enjoy things!

Happy birthday to me!

Yup, it’s my birthday, and the curse continues!  No lie, something always goes wrong on my birthday.  People usually get bad luck on Friday the 13th or something like that.  The funny part is that Friday the 13th is my lucky day.  I usually find money on the ground, everyone is super nice or just in general something good happens.  My birthday is the cursed day.  Something always goes wrong, whether someone is rude to me for no apparent reason, I lose something, something just in general goes wrong.  This year is no big deal.  All I wanted was an ice cream cake.  My husband bought me a cake and he thought it was an ice cream cake.  It was just a regular ice cream cake that was stuck into the freezer where ice cream cakes were supposed to be at.  Honestly, it just figures.  LoL.  I appreciate the fact that he tried and I don’t blame him for the mistake at all.  It was the birthday curse!  A toast-here’s to another year of me and may next year the curse be broken! 

Happy Everything!

Today has a double meaning for me and my family.  It is, of course, Veteran’s Day.  My husband has been in the army for almost 9 years now.  He’s been deployed twice.  So, honor all those who have given up so much to serve our country.  The other special thing about today is that it is my daughter’s birthday.  She is 3 years old.  She’s no longer a baby!  Just a few days ago, my husband and I celebrated our 8 year anniversary.  In another few days will be my birthday.  I’m not quite 30 yet.  So celebrate, people!  That’s all I have to say for today. 

I wanna be a Gilmore Girl!

Remember that show Gilmore Girls that was horribly canceled before its time?  It’s about these 2 crazy women, a mother and a daughter, who talked fast with crazy culture references who lived in a town with quirky neighbors and friends.  I loved that show.  I still love that show.  I miss that show!  How could they let that show be canceled??  It makes me cry!  Seriously there wasn’t anything like it on before and I doubt there ever will be.  It was a great show.  It was fun, funny, smart, quirky with a great portrayal of different relationships.  It’s the kind of relationship I hope to have with my daughter.  Maybe I can get her to watch the show with me . . .yeah, I doubt it but a girl can dream.  I doubt it would translate well but maybe they could bring it back as a movie? 

In case you have forgotten, I’ve been watching the show as part of my mini-vacation and I’ve been enjoying it muchly!
