Is it just me, or...

...does it seem like running an entire race only to give up at the finish line, when someone goes to all the trouble of getting out a new roll of toilet paper, but just sets it on top of the empty holder? Come on, people! Go the extra foot and put it on the holder--over the top, of course.

...does everyone in the cast of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills have exactly the same cheekbones? They all share a plastic surgeon, so I guess it makes sense--he probably buys cheeks in bulk and gives them a group discount. I caught an episode of this show for the first time the other day, and I spent the entire hour wondering which was which (and also wondering why I was watching. Two words: train wreck). It took most of the episode for me to finally tell them apart, these Stepford Barbies with all the same lips. And the same extensions, just different shades of blonde. Also, judging from their frequent catfights and rampant backbiting, none of them progressed emotionally past 9th grade.



...has December gone really fast this year? School is out now. Kids are home. We haven't had a decent snowstorm yet, and I'm not ready for Christmas. When did I become the Grinch? This is my favorite holiday, but I'm not feelin' it this year. I need some Christmas spirit, stat.

...is this a crazy season for weddings? I have four invitations on my bulletin board at the moment. I guess everyone decided to squeeze them in between semesters at college? I think this is a sign of things to come, as the huge numbers of youth in my neighborhood start reaching marriageable age all at the same time. Forget college funds, we're going to need to establish a wedding gift fund.

...are our local schools' music programs really, really good? I love attending my kids' band and choir concerts. Not for us the stereotypical student performances with squawking instruments and squeaking voices--we have amazing directors who pick amazing music, and the students really come through with the talent.

...should I quit procrastinating on my blog and get back to work? Sigh. Fine.

Sometimes I set it on top of the empty roll. I figure it gives the next guy something to do while he is sitting there.

I love junk TV, but Real Housewives and Kardashians, I try to stay in the dark.

I wonder if the secret being out for half the people is part of the magic being a bust. My boys are so ho hum about the whole thing, but Q still sparkles. Except it's just kind of weird going holiday gung ho with only her, so we invite friends over to join us but then I have other people's kids in my house and it stops being magical and turns into babysitting...I don't know, I agree with your feelings and I think it's all part of middle age/motherhood, I bet it gets better as they all get older and Christmas turns back into magic when you aren't behind the wheel of the car as much.

I have never Black Friday shopped, blech, I don't NEED that crock pot for $5. But then a friend this year tipped me off that she does all her wedding gift shopping for the year on Black Friday. Ah ha, it's starting to make sense!

I love band!

Now I'll go work on Sharing Time. Sigh, why does Sunday come once a week?
