Merry Christmas, Happy Chanukah, Happy Kwanza & Feliz Navidad!

I love this time of year. Everyone is as nice as I am, we smile more, we give you eye contact and we don't have scowls on our faces. The promise of the holidays and what it could bring, make us all so giddy. Every person turns into a child again. I like it! However, I do disagree with people who ask why we can't be this nice year round? DUH! Then it wouldn't be a special time of year, hell-o! Kids are more kind and sweet than normal, (hey, my kids are fabulous year round, but I do know there are some brats) the decorations that people adorn their houses with are so lovely, usually. Even the tacky ones we enjoy and call 'The Griswald House". Ah Chevy Chase as Clark Griswald, hee hee. Even great movies that we all love come out, "Elf", "The Ref", "Christmas Vacation", and then those old arse shows we all have been watching since our parents were in their 20's. "Rudolph", "Santa Clause is Coming To Town", you get the idea. As I get older, I really come to understand that it's not how many gifts you can purchase, but how many hearts you can touch. (that's for my needy Leo's, and you know who you are). I have great friends, livable family, and even an ex husband that I don't want to throw darts at, life is good! May the season grant you all the wonders you give!

My Birthday Celebration!

I love this time of year. Once I get over turning another year older, I throughly enjoy getting ready for the festivities this time of year brings. Ok, so back to my birthday! If you didn't know, it's a National Holiday, (fine, it should be). This year I had quite a lot of friends turn out for my special evening. We went to 37 Main, and the Bon Jovi Tribute Band, "Slippery When Wet" played for us. I will admit, I don't think I've been that 'toasted' maybe ever. Holy moly! I was standing front and center of the stage, watching the band. I know by now the lead singer Jason must know that I'm no longer a stalker. When I first saw them, I went everytime they were near me. And yes, I did drool, but hey, Jason looks a great deal like Jon Bon Jovi, and they are both hot, what's not to love? Anyhoo, they sang all the good songs, the bassist told me Happy Birthday, apparently he could tell due to my tiara, who knew? And then Jason wished me Happy Birthday as well. I was a happy camper. Thankfully, we did take a taxi home. I turned into Kim Kardashian while I was speaking AND I pawed the cop watching the joint. I know, I know, I would have annoyed myself, but Shelly and Deb were true sisters, they just laughed. Thanks ladies!
