Boredom and Annoyances

It has been awhile since I have written, but nothing huge or significant has happened.  In fact I am in desperate need of a surprise or anything out of the ordinary.  I love flying by the seat of my pants and not knowing what to expect, in fact I think I thrive on it!  In the meantime I have been filling my bored moments with things such as Buzzfeed...http://www.buzzfeed.com/summeranne/gifs-that-will-make-you-laugh-every-time  or live feed of animal watching...http://explore.org/#!/live-cams/player/polar-bear-cape-churchill-cam. 

 

Well I think I really want to complain about Christmas....well not the holiday itself, but the commercialism!  I hate it!  I feel like Christmas overtakes November more and more every year and people are obsessed with shopping.  I was talking to my co-workers this week about how much they spend on gifts and was floored!  One of those people makes the same amount of money as I do.  Don't get me wrong I have snitched and listened to Christmas music early and have been wanting to put up my tree (but I will not until the day after Thanksgiving).  It is the gifts and shopping part that is driving me crazy already!  WHATEVER HAPPENED TO CHRISTMAS BEING ABOUT CHRIST?  Gift giving is ok and important, but I feel like it has become the reason for the season.  Oh and look what I just got an email about:

 If anyone reading this blog has ideas about how to make the holiday more

Christ centered I will love you forever!

 

Okay, now I feel like I need to list things I am grateful for (which I have been doing on Facebook, but since this blog is more private I can be more specific).

 

-The biggest blessing right now in my life is Ryan and the boys...Drew, Evan, Robby, and Kael.  We have gone through some hard things lately, but I love them to death.

-Another thing I am loving is my boot camp.  I only get to go 2-3 times a week,

but it is tough and makes me feel good. 

-Anything Pumpkin or gingerbread.  That being said I am trying to eat well

 and these two things make that goal hard.

-My bed!  I have been a lot more tired and emotional lately so a good night's rest is a must.

-Snow.  Every time it snows, even if it is just a little bit it makes me super happy. 

You would think I live in Alaska again. 

-Faithful friends.  For some reason I am frustrated with always being the one who contacts my friends to set up things, SO I love friends who make the effort!
