I never update this thing do I?..
14 years ago
I looked over and noticed that it has been forever since I updated my journal. I'm not even sure people read journals anymore.. ah well. To catch up, this summer I moved in with my cousin to help baby sit her kids.. They live on a farm and had no internets.. So I was foaming at the mouth not being able to get online. haha but at least the farm animals were fun to hang out with. She has horses too!
After that, I came home and had a fun little earthquake. Like much of the east coast did. Then delt with hurricane Rita. And now it's Fall. Just had a major nor'easter.. and of course it fell on the day I had to drive up to NYC. Man AM i ever happy me friend and I made it. We saw so many cars get into accidents because they just drive like crazy in snow and think they wont ever crash.
2011 has really been a year of very extreme weather/seasons. Winter has a lot of storms and a lot of snow fall. The spring was record breaking with Tornadoes. Summer was hot for the mid west.. with 100 days almost the whole time. End if summer for us was record breaking rain fall and major flooding. Now Fall is here.. and instead of pretty colored trees... we got snow. So strange. Nothing messes up your inner clock more then dealing with an unatural day in a season. Snow all over trees that were still covered with all their leaves, was really just to strange.
Going to be in a wedding in 2 weeks up in NYC.. fun times all around.
ps. already seeing christmas commercials on the tv. Seriously?! Who are we... Canada? (Canada doesn't have Thanksgiving at the same time we do, so after Halloween, their next holiday is christmas) the US has another major holiday that is between Halloween and Christmas. That lovely middle child by the name of Thanksgiving!! Can we just not flood Christmas in our faces so early again this year? It really and truly kills the mood. By the time Christmas rolls around, I am soooooo burnt out by the 2 months of it getting shoved in our faces.
well, that's all for now! thanks!

Weather has been crazy this year, we got like 2' of snow in albuquerque, and it even dropped to -22 one day... Which apparently never happens in the desert x3
Odd thing is that the last place it snowed was in Boston. The rest of New England got covered in white stuff while all we got was slush... Kinda sad that the colors are dull this year too. :|
I've found a tiny minority like it, but I'm not one of them - and I love Christmas! Too much of a good thing. You're right on the money when you say it kills the mood. Come December 26th, everyone is ready to just rip everything down and is relieved that it's finally over. (Even though Christmas doesn't actually end until the epiphany in January. :P )
At any rate, it sounds like you've gotten caught up in your fair share of messes, so hopefully things will settle down a bit. :)
It also makes time go by sooooooo much slower too. Halloween and Christmas take forever to get here because businesses and things start setting up for it 2 months in advance. Halloween wasn't to bad this year.. but last year.. My God.. it took forever to get here. I was done with it by the end of Sept. This year they seem to be doing that with Christmas. I guess if they start showing all the stuff.. its going to freak people out and make them think "Crap I Have to go shopping!" When in reality.. we have 2 months. It's all a big marketing thing now.. No magic in that
