| | Hustle, bustle and taxes | | My wife does the taxes every year. For some reason at that time of year is when SUDDENLY the whole mess of paperwork that has grown seemingly organically through the house, MUST be organized, all receipts found and put in order, all past due bills or things needing to be resolved stuck in one pile, files straightened and added to, and shredding for anything that could result in our identity being stolen yet again.Does anyone else have a tax-time bustle or a similar `hey, we now have to do something we should have been upkeeping all along` or is there a better way to do this | |
| | The Christmas Bustle | | So going to the mall two days ago was absolutely a bad idea? It looked like there were a bunch of hungry people looking to snatch up the next big deal, but what about today? Do you think it will be just as bad as it was two days ago? That's something to think about. Well, believe it or not I am headed to the mall on Christmas Eve; because after wrapping gifts, I found out that my aunt's present was broken. I got her crystal candle holders and you would think that they would be wrapped much better than they actually were for the price I paid.So if any of you see a guy hunched over on the floor begging for help, that's just me after getting trampled over by the thousands that will be in the stores today. Do any of you like last minute shopping? I hate it but sometimes I guess it can be fun. I will be writing later in a bit. Right now I need to go shower, go to Belk's for the return, come back and wrap and hope that I can call my mother and she will wrap the gifts I forgot at her house for my cousins. Talk to you soon. | |
| | Do you have time to just sit and think of nothing? | | My dad shared his new-found joy of just sitting and thinking of nothing. He told us he hasn't done that in well over a decade now and he was glad he had done that a few days back.It made me wonder though, with all the hustle and bustle of our lives, we can't really find the time to stop thinking of our concerns and just to sit still. I too am not fortunate in that sense because there are just far too many concerns in my life.Do you still find time to just sit and think of nothing?It makes me feel relaxed when I do so. A sort of 'release' to the world full of worries. | |

| | I have a daughter-in-law!!! | | Yes, that is right. I have a daughter-in-law now (happy dance). As many of you know, my son served 7 years in the U.S. Army. I am so grateful to all who wrote welcome home notes to him when he would come home on leave and such. But now, I get to share the news with you..........He got married!!!!He got married on 9/11/2009 in a simple ceremony at the courthouse. The big wedding is this Saturday (2/27/2010). The hustle and bustle that is going on around me is wonderful. My son is home safe and he is so happy, he glows. I love seeing his smile.As for my new daughter-in-law.........let me introduce "Nikki". She is tall, slender and has beautiful red hair. Guess what??? She smiles all the time too.Well, at least, you all know now why I have not been posting much for the past week. I will try to post something as often as I can. I do miss you all.
Do you have any daughter-in-law's or son-in-law's??
Was it exciting when the kids were getting married?
Was there a lot of food??? We seem to have a lot of food. | |
| | How to spend New Years | | As the New Year approaches, there is a lot of hustle and bustle about events that are going to take place. Unfortunately, I will not be attending any. I had a few plans for new years celebrations but because of one thing or another they are cancelled. Therefore this New Years Eve, I will be spending alone. I have been to a few websites to find out what to do during this solitary time. Renting movies seems like the best choice but I would like to find out any other opinions of people who will, like me, be spending their New Year's alone. See, usually when I spend my New Years alone, it is depressing and annoying. This year I am going to do my best to forget the fact that I am not out partying along with the rest of the people my age. What do you think? | |
