What Kind of Food Are You?

Christmas...seriously?

I was in Garden Ridge THREE weeks ago, and they were already playing nonstop Christmas music. A mere 2 days after Halloween, I heard a commercial on KLTY saying that this time last year was when they started playing nonstop Christmas music on their station.

Now don't get me wrong, I'm all for having the Christmas spirit all year long and all that, but the day after Halloween, seriously? Or if you work at Garden Ridge, three weeks before Halloween??? I do NOT remember things starting so early this time last year.

Whatever happened to the weekend after Thanksgiving being the official put-up-your-christmas-tree date? I seem to remember a time when you were publicly scorned if you had christmas lights on your house earlier than Thanksgiving. And you know what people, that's the way it should be! If you are putting up your Christmas decorations and calling KLTY to tell them to start playing Christmas music, stop it right now! You don't understand the potential Christmas damage you could cause. You think it's great now...but when you're throwing up 2 weeks before Christmas because you are so cotton-picking tired of hearing Bing Crosby sing about the White Christmas that never actually appears in Dallas, Texas, you'll be sorry. Or when you realize your October electricity bill is through the roof not because of your heating bill but because of the christmas lights, you will be ready to take them down before Thanksgiving even comes around. Or when you gain your holiday weight in early November, you’re gonna be up a creek come Turkey Day.

See my point, people? There is a reason we wait until after Thanksgiving. At this rate, this time next year kids will be hearing non-stop Christmas music in August on the bus to their first day of school! And then the year after that, in May while they're taking their finals! And then the year after that, the colors of Valentines Day will morph from pink and white to red and green. Five years from now we won't even bother taking our decorations down because New Years Day will be when it’s time to put them back up again. Then we will have found ourselves living in a saccharine-soaked, willi-wonka, lollipop life where it’s Christmas every day and let me tell you something people, there is no place for negative blogging in days like those.

What is "the fear of stupid things"?

Sometimes I'm brushing my teeth, and I think about when one day, I'll be married, and what if I don't want my husband to see me brushing my teeth with toothpaste foam all over my mouth?
Or what if I talk in my sleep and he hears me...or what if I snore!
Or what if I'm tired of being the insect warrior and just trap the spiders under a cup until he comes home...would he mind??

Married life seems so complicated.

Did you know...?

The fear of staying single is called Anuptaphobia.
Coulrophobia is the fear of clowns.
Necrophobia is the fear of death.
Homilophobia is the fear of sermons.
Panophobia is the fear of everything.

The fear of long words is Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia.

I kid you not.

Adventures in Housesitting, Day 7

Another little life lesson I've learned from housesitting...

Just because the dog barks at 1am does not mean there is a rapist at the door.
Sometimes it's a Q-tip.
