Holidays…

City sidewalks, busy sidewalks
Dressed in holiday style
In the air
There’s a feeling of Christmas

Children laughing
People passing
Meeting smile after smile
And on every street corner you’ll hear

Silver bells, silver bells
It’s Christmas time in the city
Ring-a-ling, hear them ring
Soon it will be Christmas day

Strings of street lights
Even stop lights
Blink a bright red and green
As the shoppers rush
Home with their treasures

Hear the snow crunch
See the kids bunch
This is Santa’s big scene
And above all this bustle you’ll hear

Silver bells, silver bells
It’s Christmas time in the city
Ring-a-ling, hear them ring
Soon it will be Christmas day

This year, I’m not the best of holiday moods like I am other years.  Things are just kinda blah.  Even listening to Christmas music which usually cheers me up hasn’t cheered me up.  Not totally.  But then I remember the saying:  I was sad I had no shoes until I met a man who had no feet. No matter how sad I seem to be, KM’s life always seems to be worse.  We’ve been a sad lot for the last year or so.  We get together and depress each other.

We got together last Sunday for dinner.  She bought me dinner since it was my birthday and considering she’s living paycheck to paycheck and hardly has any money, it was a nice gesture.  Again, I can’t be sad about my life when I’m around her.  We went shopping afterwards so I could buy some stuff with my birthday money.  I’d been looking for a purse…a nice black leather grown up purse since all the purses I tend to carry are all more trendy than classic.  I found a really nice one.  Then I bought a pair of pajama pants that are the most comfortable in the world.  They are Red and pink plaid and I had the perfect shirt at home to wear with it.  It’s an old Old Naby Christmas shirt from a few years ago that is the right shade of pink with a red and white candy cane on it.  Add my favorite pair of fuzzy red socks and I’m set!  Yes, silly little things like that always make me feel better! 🙂

Bro has mono.  His girlfriend IMed me to let me know that she didn’t spread it to him but that they hadn’t take precautions so she might have gotten it from him!  UGH!!  I love my bro and I have come to terms with his relationship, but it doesn’t mean I want to hear about them spreading diseases that are only transfered through salavia and body fluids to each other. YUCK!  The girl has no class and that’s what bothers me the most about her.  Mom of course started freaking out when her co-workers kept telling her that it’s the kissing desease and that’s the only way you can spread it.  Her blood pressure went up and she left work early.  And as always, she calls me to vent and I feel stuck in the middle.  I have no idea how I’m going to deal with all this when the shit really hits the fan.

Since KM is in a bad mood, our friend Cas is coming down to visit this weekend and we’re planning on having a man bashing party on Saturday at KM’s.  I’m kinda looking forward to it.  It’s been a while since the three of us have hung out.  I miss it.  Things haven’t been the same since Cas moved back home and then it got weirder after KM moved farther away.  I’ve read a lot of my old entries and I know I bitched about them a lot.  Don’t get me wrong, they are totally different from me, but they were still good friends.

You know, I really thought this past birthday was gonna be one of the worst ones.  I wasn’t planning on telling anyone and figured most would forget except my family.  But I was surprised by the number of people who called.  Maybe I am loved after all.  Or maybe things are never as bad as I think it is.
