Falling leaves...

So it's that time of the year again. When things get crisp, trees change colors, and my favorite color is ALLL over the place, on leaves, pumpkins, halloween signs, candies....it's just that time of the year for ORANGE!
It also seems to be the time of the year that I start thinking of what I want to get people for christmas, I always have the intentions of getting started early but because I can't make a decision for the live of me without checking out all the places that COULD carry that one item. And then there is the whole possiblity of making something for everyone because that cheaper and it means more but it takes up soooo much time, that it sometimes doesn't seem worth the extra dollars in my checkbook. But it never fails that at least three people on my list gets something homemade, my creativity needs to be outletted somewhere.


So this is also the time of the year that you lose your man to the TV every sunday and monday nights. Or in my case it will be whenever Hockey is on so it tends to be a little more un-predictable to the loss. They play SOOOO many games and so that doesn't leave just one or maybe two days a week that you are lost to the TV sports void created for men to ignore women. Like we don't have enough problems getting their attention, then you have to create a shcedule that is almost whimsical (meaning that whenever it works for the League to schedule games they do not trying to designate just a night or maybe two for their games.) And in the day and age of like 15 channels of ESPN and FOX sports, etc. they can't miss what joe schmoe says about their players or this missed kick/goal. Leaving more hours spent tracking and being the "sports agent" they always wanted to secretly be. They don't get paid for knowing how many assists this player has and how many touchdowns were made, so why know it.

They say that about the "gossip" columns and magazines that we read and watch, is useless information but it isn't we use the trials and tribulations of celebrities to prevent them from happening in our own lives and we can have files of useless information and still be able to concentrate on almost anything they use one part of their brain at a time and that's it it is left up to us to worry about 10 things at once.
there load off!
