Needed the oil changed in my Acura and Al decided to slap on the snow tires as well. Sheesh! I don’t even have the ambition to take down the Thanksgiving decorations yet, it’s so warm out. This weekend was perfect – everything a winter should be: highs in the low 60s upper 50s. Took Cyrus for a nice long walk and it was so warm I ended up tying my coat to him like a pack mule. About time he earned his kibble.
Took my Christmas photo today and will have them made into my traditional holiday card. Once again, the lizards displayed relatively good humor about getting dressed up by a nutty biped with a camera.
Thanksgiving is a time of giving thanks. You know, the big to-do where people around a huge table each say what they are grateful for…health, family, food, yadda, yadda, yadda.
So why don’t we have a holiday for expressing outrage? A day to come together and complain that while the food is good, too bad we don’t have the money for surf and turf. Give grandma a five minute time limit and let her blather on about all her ailments. I’ll be happy to tell you a thing or two about development in my community, that’s for sure. And have it on a Monday, so there’s a 3 day weekend. We could call it Malcontent Monday. The theme would be: Things Aren’t Bad, but Here’s How They Could Be Better. Make it in February. There’s a do-nothing month with crappy weather. Fits perfectly. How about the first Monday after Valentine’s Day so people can bitch about their love lives while the hurt is fresh? Yeah, I think we need to work on this. Just need to convince the folks at Hallmark and we’re home free.
Hey, kids! There’s only 84 more shopping days until Malcontent Monday!
(Gift Suggestions include: Tru Tech products, Macy’s Gift Cards and well, any old thing for Aunt Edna, cause she hates everything you give her.)
