Holiday Stamps

Soooo, October 21, 2010 they announced that the new Holiday stamps would be forever stamps, evergreen and an Angel playing a Lute......hum, Evergreen? I could see where they would issue them for Winter, but for Holiday stamps they aren't very, um Holiday'ish. The Angel with the Lute is nice, but how about 4 Angels playing Lutes? So my choice is a generic forrest theme or one Angel.....meh, is it any wonder why they are losing money; I need choices people, choices.http://www.usps.com/communications/newsroom/2010/pr10_094.htm

Halfway Done with Vacation

Ok, so I know I don't have any followers, but I'm going to write as if I did. Halfway done with Vacation and I've noticed some things. One, I don't have time to do everything I want to do; Two, mother nature doesn't seem to be cooperating and three, I'm just as tired at the end of the day as when I was working.

So, really vacations are not really vacations at all, they are merely a chance to do things that you don't have time for when working a day-job. I think vacations should be lounging around the pool, being waited on and sipping a favorite beverage. But, my mind would never let me do that, as I would be thinking about things that have to get done, or else something else can't be completed on time.

Oh no, not again!

Printed Pants, yup I've said it. They seem to be making a comeback, albeit a slow one given how awful they look on most people. Yeah, I said that too....awful, just awful. According to the blog Fashionising http://www.fashionising.com/trends/b--Patterned-printed-pants-womens-fashion-trend-2403.html this is a trend that was predicted by many people last Fall, but hasn't really taken off due to the unpredictability of how the pants look on people. They do give many tips on how to wear them, but it seems as though people try to do the "skinny" cut, and really not good in the past, not good now......I hope they never make it up here; maybe NYC or LA where skinny people reign, but not in farm country.

Hazy, Hot and Humid

....has reached the town. So air conditioners are flying off the shelves, people are carrying washcloths around with them and people are wearing way inappropriate clothing. Hey put a shirt on you .... yeah you!

Is this going to be our Summer of Discontent? Usually the humid weather comes and then it is all over for the Summer, then it becomes rainy and wet and we go right into Fall.

Can we all say a little prayer that this year will be different and we will all enjoy a nice, moderately tempered Summer and we are happy when we are lounging around in the sun?

Spring Colds!!! Hate them!!!

So nothing makes me more upset than to be sick just when the weather is starting to get warmer outside. Also, nothing makes me crazier than wind.....not just cold wind, but any wind. I must have sensitive ears and eyes or something, I just can't stand how tired the wind makes me. Even on the warmest day, if there is the least bit of wind I have to go inside....damn wind and damn Spring Colds...I hate them!

Mother's Day

I can't believe how quickly this is coming up. I have to find a Brunch place to take mom.....

No good answers

Just found out that a former co-worker killed himself either yesterday or early this morning. Whatever would make someone decide, hey this is a valid idea. Things couldn't have been that bad, could they? I feel sorry for his wife and his 2 year old son. And to make matters worse, she is about to have another baby....why oh why.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Well, I guess this is the first day of the year, very nice. Went shopping for a hat with parental unit, ended up finding just the right thing at Macy's; what did we all do without Macy's? Anyway, tomorrow we're going to the Schuyler Mansion in the South End for a Twelfth Night reinactment, should be fun.
