Lovely To See You Again My Friends

I'm ashamed that I've let my blogging slide for this long. Nearly two months since my last post... Yikes! There have been many notable moments.

1. Crashed car because of rogue moth on dashboard.
2. Got job.
3. Got accepted into teaching certification program.
4. Got new car.
5. Drove to Boise in new car to attend wedding of two dear college friends.
6. Had amazing 50's-Book Club weekend in Wenatchee.
7. Started school.
8. Created board game from scratch.
9. Celebrated parents' 25th anniversary.
10. Remembered I had a blog.

So, that's the past two months in a nutshell. As I think I theorized once before, it's always the times when you have the most to write about that you have the least time to write about it.

I got to experience one of my pet peeves today... seeing Christmas stuff out waaaaay before Christmas. I love, love, love Christmas and all the accoutrements associated with it, but it bothers me when stores put holiday stuff on their shelves when it's not even Columbus Day yet! I got this same feeling when I saw Halloween knick knacks for sale in the summer. Give us time to revel in each season before sending new stuff down the line! Now, I am a bit of a hypocrite, because I do indulge myself in looking at Christmas things when they are on display; I can handle a lot more Christmas than the average person. But, I don't want my fellow shoppers to be sick of Christmas before it even gets here!

In the meantime, I will enjoy Halloween, the release of Guitar Hero 4, and Thanksgiving. But as soon as dessert is served Thanksgiving night, you can bet I will start celebrating Christmas in full force! :-)
