There is So Much To Say

This past weekend, I drank a little too much wine which always causes me to get a little too sappy. My perpetual state of sappiness led me to sit down and write 15 cards (yes, 15!) to be sent to my fiancé. He will be visiting me in about 2 1/2 weeks and I want to build some excitement for this trip. So, I have 15 very loving and/or steamy messages that will be heading his way. They are sealed, addressed and stamped and I will be dropping one or two of them in the mail each day over the next two weeks.



And one of you will get some cards of your own to send. As I stated in this post, Hallmark has been gracious enough to extend their Vow to Tell Them campaign through me and on to one of you.

Six of you posted comments against one or both of my Hallmark related posts. I numbered you all on a sheet of paper and used Random.org to generate a random number.



And the lucky recipient is Victoria! You can learn more about Victoria here. She is a local (to Chattanooga) author and blogger.

Thank you all for commenting on my posts. And please send a little sunshine someone’s way by putting a card in the mail. And it goes without saying that you will be helping out our struggling postal system.

Happy New Year?

My 2012 has truly started in an interesting way…and by interesting, I mean it sucks already. Here are the highlights.

1. I spent the first week of the year wondering if the job I have would be over at the end of the week. On Friday I was informed I still need to come to work on Monday so I guess I should be happy about that. I’ll see if I make it through this next week. It’s the nature of the work that I’m in but it doesn’t get any easier to deal with.


2. When starting to put out feelers for jobs with other places in the city, I was politely informed that one company does not look on it highly that I quit working for them at one point. Seeing as everyone there are “friends” that I’ve worked with, I’m taking that to mean that someONE did not appreciate me taking better job opportunities over staying there to work with them. The reasons I left had to do with taking a better, more interesting and more risky job opportunity. It had nothing to do with the company or it’s employees that I thought were my friends. Oh well.


3. Distance does not always make the heart grow fonder and it definitely won’t help people think of you more fondly.


4. An 800 square foot apartment can accumulate a lot of stuff. Incorporating that stuff into an already full house can be a bit much. As such, the charity pile is growing.


5. Just the thought of being positive is depressing me, so bah humbug to the new year.

Merry Christmas

This will be an uneventful Christmas for me as I am in the middle of a major transition of life and living. I am blessed to be spending this Christmas with my fiancé but as he is sound asleep and I am nowhere close to tired, I am watching my favorite holiday movie (The Holiday) and packing. And I shouldn’t leave out the 20 games of Words With Friends that I have going and the blog reading that I’m catching up on.

So, even though this Christmas is uneventful, it will definitely be productive and enjoyable.

I wish you all a very blessed and joyful Christmas.
