Its been awhile since I've written anything. I'm not the type of person to blog on a regular basis, though, I do go through phases. Generally, if I don't write anything, its mainly because I'm lazy, or, nothing really exciting has happened lately. Which, I guess is a good thing because that means life is DRAMA-FREE, which is always something to celebrate.
I am however super excited that its the holiday season. I think November/December is my favorite time of the year. While, I absolutely LOVE Halloween and October in general, nothing is more satisfying that decorating my house for Christmas. I've always had good memories of Christmas ever since I was a little whipper snapper and got to be in the Christmas pagents and stuff. Not to mention, Christmas and Easter were always the two times of the year my mom would make me a super fancy dress to wear to church. We always went to the Christmas/Easter Eve services, so it was almost like going out to a formal event as a 10 or 11 year old. In fact, here is a photo of one of the many many dresses my mom made me. I think I was 12. I still love royal blue to this day, (and, it was not surprisingly the color of my bridesmaid dresses).
**Side Note: I am posting this blog from work. Therefore, photo will be scanned and blog will be updated at a later date. Until then, enjoy this fascinating description of my blue dress:
It was long, and royal blue (as previously stated). I think it was some sort of silky/satin material. It had the great long poofy bubble sleeves, typical to the late 80s, early 90s. It was mostly plain in the front with the exception of a lace "V" secion on the front of my (then non-existent) chest. The back, however, had a huge bow above my butt, and under my butt were 3-4 tiers of lacy ruffles!!
While I don't get quite as jazzed up for church at this day and age, there is always the Mainline Christmas formal to look forward to. And, I have yet to find a royal blue dress to wear to this event, though, I its not from lack of trying. I pretty much love bright colors in general. Probably why half of our house is either painted red or filled with red furniture. Our guest bedroom is aqua blue, and, at some point our office will be "Green and Gold" - cheesy enough it will be our "CSU Room," but its mostly to spite all our Seminole fan friends, and to emphasize that CSU is NOT in Boulder, nor are we the Buffalos!! Seriously, I'm going to start responding to that question with "Is FSU in Gainesville?" or, "FSU...they're the Gators right?" Yes, it *is* that insulting.
Anywhoo....the real reason I'm writing anything is because I'm deathly bored at work. No surprise there. Only one more semester until I officially have a graduate degree and can hopefully find a better job where people with higher education actually move UP in the world, instead of ass-kissers and idiots who don't use proper grammar during formal meetings. While its probably not the ideal time to be looking for a job, hopefully someone out there will realize that intelligence AND experience is worth a damn!
