Some people don't mind Christmas. They love it. They would celebrate it everyday if they could. But some people, dread it, they don't hate it, they just dread it coming.
The downside: Having to get a tree, and painstaking decorate it with lights that would never light up properly and knowing that one of the lights is dead and the whole thing won't light up. Another painstaking task is to write Christmas cards, and have your family dress up in horrid clothing for a picture to put on that card. Another would be hearing the same Christmas carol over, and over, and over again. Like the Christmas donkey song or the "Grandma's got run over by a reindeer". Having to be prepared, having the house all cleaned and ready for company. Some people don't mind it, but for others it's more like more housework to deal with. Like we do for Thanksgiving. Also the parties could mean hangovers the next day.
But at least there is an upside.
The upside: Spending time with your family, opening presents, enjoying time with company, ringing in a new year on New years Eve. For us. I love it and hate it at the same time. Can't believe next week will be Christmas. For now. I'm just going to enjoy a nice Christmas with my family and seeing my cousin's sons open up their presents and be so happy. That's my upside of Christmas. Also seeing my family happy when they open the presents I got for them. Although I do have to finish my Christmas shopping this week.
Have a Merry Christmas and Happy 2012. Won't blog again till January! HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!

Turning 27. How I feel about it
Tomorrow, I will be the dreaded 27. I don't mind turning another year older. I will get gifts and cards and birthday wishes on Facebook. It's just, I've been in this world for almost 3 decades and it's getting closer and closer, and closer till, I am 27. I rarely remember turning twenty let alone seven years later, which will be tomorrow. I share a birthday with some celebrities: if you count Tim Conway and Don Johnson and Adam Brody.
I hope to have a great birthday tomorrow. I don't look 27, but I will be 27. The year has gone by fast. In a blink of an eye. It seems next year, I'll be turning 28 this time next year tomorrow. Maybe being 27 isn't a bad thing. You are as old as you feel, and to tell you the truth. I don't I'll feel 27. At least I'm going bowling with my boyfriend and going to see the Long wood garden lights. Hopefully, it'll be a great birthday. Will blog again before Christmas. Till then, Caio Bloggers! and Happy Birthday to me.

Happy Thanksgiving!
Want to wish everyone a safe and happy Thanksgiving! Stuff your face with Turkey, Stuffing and Pumpkin pie, but be careful not to over indulge. Enjoy every minute you spend with your family like I will and will blog again around the beginning of December. For now, enjoy the holidays, and if you're shopping on Friday, doing it on-line is better than waiting outside.
Happy Thanksgiving Everybody! :)
Happy Thanksgiving Everybody! :)

Pringles vs Potato chips
I eat both Pringles and Herr's potato chips. They're both good. But to tell you the truth, potato chips and pringles both have shady histories. First potato chips were discovered by mistake by an angry chef who decided to slice the potato so thin that the customer would have to eat it with their hands. Of course they were a hit.
Potato chips have a variety of flavors, brands like Lays or Herr's or the new kettle chips. They have wild flavors, sea salt, no salt. It's amazing how many potato chips brands there are today. It's just amazing there are even wilder flavors out in other countries. In Japan they have a sushi flavor potato chip and in Spain, they have a squid flavor, they even have different color potato chips they call artisan. Some of them aren't even potatoes. Strange that all of this craze started over an angry chef which ingredients included potato, a dash of a salt and a little revenge.
Now pringles have another story. It all started over how chips would break in a bag and would be so greasy. So a scientist from Procter and Gamble decided to come up with a way to make potato chips stack able, uncrushable, and would be in a can and not a bag. So Pringles were born around the 1970's and were a big hit. Claming to be the Potato chips that would be better than any other chip. Only one problem, they weren't potato chips. They were potato flakes. They claimed they were chips, but added "from dried potatoes" So some potato chip companies were outraged and made Procter and Gamble change the product from potato chips to potato flakes. But some people don't care about it tastes, it's the can that draws them to open it and eat all the potato crisps that were in it.
Even though Pringles became something totally different, people still also like potato chips. And like potato chips, pringles also come in different verity of flavors. Unsalted, barbecue, cheese flavor, pizza, you name it.
For me, I love a regular potato chip. Lightly salted, no flavoring whatsoever, but sometimes I will crave a Pringle crisp. Don't know why, but I'm drawn to that can. LOL. Even if you like them, no matter what potato chips are considered the most popular snack food to date. Till then, enjoy the snacking of Pringles or potato chips. Ciao blogger, will blog again soon, before Thanksgiving. :)

Too close to the holidays
Surprisingly, we're seeing more Christmas/thanksgiving commercials on October now. Strange. It seems that Thanksgiving won't take a breather for just one moment and Halloween get through with it's sales. I dread to see what black Friday is going to be like.
Mostly the most painstaking day for me at work is the day before Thanksgiving because, working at a grocery store, it's hell. I go out to dinner afterwards so wiped out that I can't believe how much work I had to do.
Thanksgiving day is hell as well for some businesses. Some stores are closed, but Genaurdi's isn't. Genaurdi's never closes on holidays. They use to when I was little, but now, well, they don't close. They do close the store earlier though.
There are so many toys for kids, and drills for dads and well.. for mom everything else. But the way the economy has been... it's even lucky we get a Christmas tree in our house. This year our family isn't spending too much. I'm alright with that. Will have more presents anyway knowing that my birthday is coming up soon. For now, I'm happy celebrating my birthday along with Christmas. But before my birthday comes, our house has to be decorated. Right now going to try not to die next Wednesday at work while people are getting their last minute thanksgiving crap.
Will blog back again soon before Thanksgiving, but in my opinion, the holidays are coming too quick. Ciao bloggers, for now, blog back again soon.

Poem- Why can't we stop the pain and suffering
Why can't we stop, the pain and the suffering,
that is in our lives?
Are we too weak to stop it,
or are we to brave to conquer it?
Why do we cry every time,
when tragedy strikes our hearts?
When will it end,
and when will we be safe again
Does love have to hurt?
Why do we feel the pain?
Every time we watch the news,
We cry,
and we can't turn it off.
Why can't we stop,
the pain and the suffering,
happening in our lives?
We'll never know.
that is in our lives?
Are we too weak to stop it,
or are we to brave to conquer it?
Why do we cry every time,
when tragedy strikes our hearts?
When will it end,
and when will we be safe again
Does love have to hurt?
Why do we feel the pain?
Every time we watch the news,
We cry,
and we can't turn it off.
Why can't we stop,
the pain and the suffering,
happening in our lives?
We'll never know.

short poem- no title
Looked up,
looked down,
looked side to side,
wondering if the sky ever is just blue,
or purple,
or violet,
any color looking up,
for the grass,
is it always green,
brown,
black????????
Side to side,
no one,
no sound,
no where to go,
feel trapped outside,
so I guess,
I'll get up,
and start my own adventure
Where will it take me?
Only I know that answer
