• December...already?

  I sort of feel like there's a laundry list of things I can complain about.

  Oh....wait. I'm sorry. I'm being rude. Umm.. I had a lovely Thanksgiving (I tend to forget how much I love spending time with my family..and having my laundry done), and I truly hope you all did too, that you realize how much you have to be thankful for. Ok...back to me.

  I could potentially be whining about various things at this stage in the game (2 weeks away from the end of the semester, PhD applications due, lack of fund for Christmas shopping), but I walked into my leasing office today to pay my rent, and just as I was grumbling about forking over hundreds of dollars I heard Christmas music playing in the background. And I thought about vanedave's admitting that the holidays make him sappy; I thought about happy Christmas-ey thoughts and I decided that I will do whatever is in my power to be the cheeriest busy person anyone ever saw. I actually am excited about the holidays (bad economy not withstanding). I'm planning on decorating my little apartment and decorating at home in NJ this weekend, and I might even go out and try to find a Christmas CD. Or...find some illegal file sharing situation...either way Christmas music will be had.

  We really do have a choice to smile or to frown, and I chose smiles. Less facial muscles being used that way.
