Day 77

This is my last blog post. This blog wasn't easy. I even forgot last night.

As of today, it started snowing again. I also got some new shirts from Aeropostale because of a coupon. And I think my favorite jacket is falling apart. One of the buttons keeps irritatingly unbuttoning itself because of a wide button hole that was slowly ripping. Either I need to learn to sew or get rid of it. I can't get rid of it because I love that jacket. Although, I have a more fancier black one that I usually wear if I'm going to a place where one should dress nice. I don't often wear it because it makes my head looks smaller. I even got compliments on my corduroy jacket, but not this year yet.

But still, exciting for the new snow. And Christmas is only on Saturday.

Since I won't be blogging for the winter season, I want to wish all a Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night. Have a good holiday, be festive, and all you Scrooges, at least show a little initiative. I had to for Thanksgiving. I'm sure you can, too.

Day 76

I don't think I'll do "90 Days of Winter". To be honest, this wasn't easy. I forgot certain days, I started out the blog with slow and unadventurous days, and I don't even think it;s been roughly 90 days since September 21st. Because I am sure that this is really day 76. Maybe next spring I'll do it again. If I do it then, then I'll have to blog on my birthday. Maybe I'll do that, but not winter.

Today was kind of fun until the evening. I got to spend time with my Kentucky friends who are leaving tomorrow, but then they went to see friends of theirs somewhere else in Chicago, and I spent most of the evening watching Friends on DVD. And a little Bewitched

Day 75

Fun day.

Today, some out-of-state came for a visit to spend the night. And we went to one of Oakbrook's expensive classy restaurants called Ditka's. They're son is the general manager so he came by to chat every few minutes.

I also did some cleaning in preparation for the visit. Also had some lunch from TGI Fridays but got stuck in traffic. You know, Christmas shopping. But lunch was great. I love TGI Fridays.

And tomorrow, I'm going to find a wreath because I still need one to display and that will conclude the decorating of the house. I got the tree with lights, garlands, and ornaments, and a tree skirt, some decorations around the house, and the stockings hanging by the chimney with care (I always say that when talking about Christmas stockings). And sometime next week, I have to go out to get ingredients for a pound cake, hopefully if the grocery store won't be too crowded, and then regretting to make it. I hate baking, but my cookies or cakes usually come out all right. I'm not a baker for real, but I have baked cookies once (I'll explain those another time) and I made two cakes. I don't have a passion for baking, but my sister-in-law is a baker. Her things are really good.

Day 74

It's so cold out.

But I still love the snow.

I also wrapped all my Christmas presents today. I'm waiting until next week to get socking stuffer stuff, but mainly I got all my gifts settled. Especially two that were sets. One is a winterwear accessories for my sister-in-law and a coffee and chocolate/candy set. It's just coffee, chocolate, and candy all wrapped in individual tissue paoper in a gift bag.

I love wrapping presents. I was listening to Christmas music while doing it and even created a system of which kinds of wrapping paper to wrap which kind of family member or friend.

And I'm going to see their faces on Christmas Day when they open them which will make me happy.

Day 72

My company showed up today. But they leave in the morning.

I was at the art gallery and they were at a restaurant near the bus stop that I get off at when I come home. So I went over to meet them. That's something that I like about myself is when we have a whole bunch of people over and I arrive home late with them possibly wondering where I've been.

Normally, I like to think that I'm not missed when I really am, but it's a nice thought I like to have. Really, it's no rush for me to get home to quickly to see the guests that I invite over. But I know I am missed because they say things like "We were waiting until you get home" or "Where have you been"?

Day 71

Yesterday I forgot to mention that saw Terms of Endearment yesterday. Well, first after getting home from grocery shopping, I watched the Amy Adams movie, Leap Year. That was alright. I've seen a better Amy Adams film, but it wasn't too bad.

And right after that I watched Terms of Endearment. Which made it to be the 11th Best Picture Oscar winner that I've seen. And it was so sad at the end. It was very good and Shirley MacLaine was really good. Especially, at the end scene. But fortunately, I can't cry.

I just don't. Sure I have tear ducts, but I don't cry. I get teary-eyed if I'm laughing too much, or if I'm really tired, or if I have the hiccups, but never out of sadness. And I kind of like that about myself. I just don't have the need to cry.

Day 70

So cold.

I had to go out to do some grocery shopping this afternoon and loading the car, it was so windy my scarf was blowing around everywhere and I had to practically force things into the trunk while standing in sludge.

The wind was blowing through the bare trees that sounded like someone screaming outside the house.

I did, however, put up the tree and other things today. The tree looks great, it has lights, garlands, ornaments, and I also put up other decorations around the house. As the song says, "It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas".

By the way, my last blog post is Monday next week. Not tomorrow.
