Holiday Hoopla!

Wishing you all a wonderful holiday season and a very prosperous new year!
I wish I could be yippee skippee happy and excited about Christmas, but I just don't have it in me!
I try... really hard... but it's just not there for me!  Oh I understand the 'reason' for the season and I can appreciate all of the many blessings that I have had throughout the past year... blah... blah.. blah... but to me Christmas is a bunch of stress!  Too many gifts to buy and wrap, too many unrealistic expectations from other people, too much food that is expected to be cooked by ME, and way too much of MY money spent on all of the above! 

So anyway - moving on - I will do what is expected and put on a happy face while continuing to clean up cat poop that clearly shows she (the evil cat) has been ingesting leaves from the fake Christmas tree, carry out bags and bags of trash from the present overload,  and make multiple trips to the grocery store because my children have eaten everything in the pantry!  Yep... HO! HO!  JOY! JOY!

Dear Apple,

I am so very excited to have finally ordered myself an iPad!  Woo Hoo... I'm sticking to my story that it's primary purpose is for work, but let's get realistic...you can bet I'm going to be using it for a few fun applications on the weekends.  Let's just call it my executive privilege.

I'm sure you understand the excitement and feelings of anxiousness that coincide with finally becoming a part of the living, or so it would seem, and finally having an iPad?

Well this morning when Mr. Fed Ex Man delivered a box to my office, I immediately thought it was going to be my iPad.  Wouldn't you?  WRONG....
Here's what I got...
The docking station!!  That's it - that was all that was in the box.... Hmmm?  I guess it's coming to me in parts and pieces?

I bet the next box I get will be the charging cord?  Or the case for it?  What are you trying to do to me Apple?  If your goal was to tease and torture me then you are succeeding.

Sincerely,

Not so happy Apple customer

Spiders and Crickets.... OH MY!

For the past 3 weeks or so, we have had a huge influx of spiders and crickets making their way INTO my house.  There is simply not enough room for all of us to live happily, together in one house.  These little buggers have got to go!  For a while, I passed off the newly formed spider webs as Halloween decor, but now that's not working so well for me.  I need to sweep the walls and crevices on a daily basis to keep up with the spider condominiums going up in my vaulted ceilings.

I've heard other folks in our area talk about how many crickets have invaded their homes, as well.  What does this mean?  Where's the Farmer's Almanac?  Where's the Indian Doctor?  I need to know...I'm sure it's some sort of sign of impending doom!  That's just my luck.

I finally got smart enough to just GOOGLE this quandary and discovered that some theories on the idea say that it means we are going to have an early and harsh winter!  OH JOY JOY!  Just what I wanted to hear... NOT!  See....impending doom!!  I'm not a winter person at all... as a matter of fact, I prefer to hibernate from December through March. 

I've also learned that having 'house' crickets is supposed to be good luck.  Well let me tell ya'... We must be the luckiest folks on the block, 'cause I'm sweeping up 8-10 dead and mangled crickets every day - I wonder if the crickets have to be alive to lucky?  

Whatever the 'sign' is, I wish these things would go away.  Just this morning I found a cricket hoping happily in my kitchen sink among the breakfast dishes.  This poor little cricket's luck just ran out - yep you guessed it - turned on the water and disposal!  UGH... how much longer are these things going to invade my home?  What do you know about crickets and spider invasions?  Should I be prepared for some sort of  paranormal phenomenon?
