Waaaaay too early.....

My nephews blog has a part in one of his recent posts about the stores having the Christmas stuff out already. I agree with him that it is waaaaay too early for this crap. Before long, they will want you to Christmas shop in July! Can't we get through Halloween first? I remember when I was little and even into my early adult years, that you didn't see Christmas stuff till it was closer to Thanksgiving! I even had a job when I was 15 @ Pool City for the Christmas holiday. I loved that job and made really good money. I got an hourly wage + commission on trees and decorations! But alas, I got fired because they had a rule that you couldn't call off from the day after Christmas to New Years. I got the flu really bad on Christmas eve (I had gotten my one and only flu shot of my life cause the doc thought it would be a good idea since I was dealing with the public) and my mom called me off work the day after Christmas and they told her if she doesn't come in, she doesn't need to come back. End of that job!
Anyway, back to the present. Last weekend, Dean and I were shopping at the mall for a 50th birthday gift for a friend's party and we went tot he Hallmark store to get a card. They had Christmas music playing! It was 70 degrees outside, it's only October, and they're playing friggin' Christmas songs! Bah Humbug! Good Grief, Charlie Brown! I'm sorry. But can't it wait until the beginning of November?

APAD? Yeah, Yeah. I Know.......

My nephew posted on his blog about some lofty goals. One goal is that bloggers do A Post A Day. Well, I'm a busy person. I don't have the internet on my computer at work, so I can't post while at my job. By the time I get home from work, eat dinner, do the dishes, feed the dogs, do some online errands (like online banking and emails) Jeopardy is coming on and I want to go watch it. And all the shows have started their new season and you can't miss those! Dancing with the Stars, Big Bang Theory, How I met Your Mother, 2 and a half men, Boston Legal and Csi Miami. That's just Monday night, people! Tuesday brings us NCIS, Dancing with the Stars Results and Criminal Minds. Wednesday is Old Christine, Gary Unmarried, and Dirty Sexy Money. Thursday is Ugly Betty, CSI LV, and ER. Friday is Ghost Whisperer something else and Numbers. See? I'm busy. Being a couch potatoe no doubt, but I like my entertainment from the box in the living room....

So, I know it's been a long time since I've posted. It was never my goal to post every day. I am usually happy with a couple of times a week. But, I got lazy. There. I admit it. Not much new. Yeah, Yeah. I know. You all thought I fell off the face of the Earth again, didn't you?

Dean had a stress test last monday. He passed it fine. But it has prompted him to go back to the gym. So, he works out 3 days a week now. Me? Nope. I'm the couch potatoe. Well, almost time for Jeopardy! More later. I promise...............
