Day 36: The Alabama Crimson Tide are the SEC champs! Work was good today. I giggled at one of the drivers, the song "Fancy" came on (Reba McEntire), and I said "oh yes, here is a song about prostitution", and the girl goes, "oh wow. I always thought it was about a pageant". I then remember when I watched Dirty Dancing as an adult, I finally knew what the watermelons were for, and that Penny's appointment was for an abortion. Who knew? Also, Ice Ice Baby is about drugs and drive by's. Day 37: Good off day. Had lunch and finished Christmas shopping with Rebecca and Lily. I always buy Lily a toy when we go out, and I told her since Christmas is this week, if she got a toy over a certain amount she had to wait til Christmas, or if it was below this amount, she could have it today. She instantly turned into a mathematician, and got a toy 3¢ below the cutoff line. Later, Scott and I went to buy groceries and look at Christmas lights. "15 minutes" was more like an hour. Lily and fam went to Christmas in the Park. I stole some pictures. Day 38: This salad, y'all. Peggy's Pizza has a "People's Choice" salad that I fell in love with. I tried to replicate it. I made three. It's what Jesus would eat. I used a spring/spinach mixture, pecans, apple, sunflower seeds, grilled chicken, feta cheese, cucumber, and tomato. I ate one without dressing, and two with Greek vinaigrette. Day 39: I am sure if you have read at least 2 blog posts I have published, that you know of my lifelong obsession with the band Little Texas. They were my entire teenage years. Since social media has become a thing, I have been able to correspond with them, and I have every one of their autographs, apart from Tim Rushlow. The original keyboardist Brady Seals went solo mid to late 90's, but alas, I badgered my way in. Tim Rushlow and I have spoken via Twitter and Instagram, and I will find my way in and get his autograph SOME HOW. When he isn't singing at Presidential Inaugurations. Day 40: Meme day. Also, I started this blog series on October 31st, and today is December 23rd. I lost time when my laptop died, and I did the math in my head. I should never do the math in my head. I googled the days, and it says I should be on day 53. Not 40. SO, I am forfeiting the days and will just do this thing by the week. Am I even on the correct week? Who knows. Thursday. I so miss Christmas time as a child. I had a flashback yesterday, I haven't smelled the perfume Wild Heart since my early teens, but I remembered it, and all of the Christmases around that time. Going to my Daddy's family for Christmas Eve, and then to my Mother's side. There was always a ton of food. Everything smelled like wood and cigarette smoke. Coming home to watch A Christmas Story. Seeing the Nativity scene at the Methodist church. Hearing and smelling fireworks from the neighbor's house. Waking up in the middle of the night, nothing but the glow of the Christmas Tree and seeing if Santa had came. Waking my family up at 5:30am to open presents. The house smells like turkey. Everything is different now, but I hope the memories that Lily has when she gets older will be good ones. Friday: Scott and I exchanged our gifts to each other this afternoon. He is currently in the kitchen with the gun cleaning kit. I am just waiting for a Lifetime special to be made. We went to my Mother's. She spit out the food I brought, but everyone else ate all of it. We ate, played games, shot fireworks, and took family pictures. I don't have the pictures yet of all of us, but I took a couple of everyone. We played Scattergories. Some answers from tonight: Name something you see at a wedding- Masking Tape Name something that is cold: Antelope Name something you grab when walking out the door: Condoms Tomorrow is Christmas!!!! Happy Holidays, y'all!
