Happy November to you!
I cannot believe it is November already. How did the end of the year sneak up on us like that? Two months from now, it will be 2012. In the meantime, there is a lot left to be done before we send 2011 off fondly.
Do you have a list of things to get done? Let's compare lists, shall we?
Seven Things For November First
- I gotta start my Christmas shopping - seriously. I get very anxious the closer Christmas comes and just want to get the best gifts for everyone on my list. So, the sooner I get it done, the sooner I can relax and enjoy the season. Last year I finished by the Monday after Thanksgiving.
- Thanksgiving is coming! In my family that means Christmas gift name drawing, tamale time, and a silly football game. Oh and being thankful.
- To me, thanksgiving means Black Friday Eve. I have a long standing tradition of going out and spending too much money on Black Friday. This year I hear most stores are gonna open at 12 midnight...not sure how I feel about that.
- Time to make all charitable donations before the end of the year! Is this a weird thing to think about?
- Christmas music/decorations time! I do all the lights at my parents house and my own as well, now that I'm a homeowner, so this is no joke. I got lots of ladder time ahead of me! Also Christmas is coming! So exciting!
- This is the time of year that I forget I have a fireplace and then remember. Then I forget again and am reminded by KM. This is all despite the fact that from my perch on the couch and my recliner I can't help but see the damn thing.
- Be extra careful on the road season is here. Yes, you must be careful 24/7/365. However, Halloween through Super Bowl are the most dangerous times on the road as proven in a study conducted by me through my entire life. Its dangerous and I am not joking a single bit when I say to you, my dear readers: Please be careful this holiday season everyone, I can't find readers like you just anywhere.
