#19-Random Thoughts

Nothing exciting has gone on today and I can't really think of anything to write about. Earlier today I was thinking about different things to blog about. Now as I'm writing my post for tonight, I can't think of what a single one of them were. (man I hate when that happens) I guess I'm having writer's block tonight for some reason. So needless to say I think this post is just going to be some random thoughts I have floating around in my head. Tomorrow I will get back to my usual postings.



*For now I have decided not to put music on my blog. Today I was reading a new blog and I had forgotten to turn the volume down on my computer and it happened again. Bo was asleep on my lap and we both jumped about 10 feet in the air when the blaring music came on. It took Bo a good 10 minutes to get calmed down from the loud music. I might add the music at a later date, but for now silence on my blog.



*It was freaking cold here today. I think the high was right around 30 degrees, but it was so windy it felt much colder. I really need to look into moving someplace warm, I hate the cold and I hate the snow even more. Michigan is not the place for me.



*I must confess I watch Jon and Kate + 8 every time it is on TV. I hated that show when I first moved back home. Now I love it and I can't stop watching. I even watch the ones I have seen before. Did any of you see the wedding episodes the last few weeks when Jon and Kate renewed their wedding vows in Hawaii? It was so gosh darn sweet. I had tears in my eyes, especially at the end when they were playing the Elvis song. Man they are such a cute little, I mean big family.



*Bo had his 9 week vet visit today. All his well and he got his second round of shots. He wore his orange jacket today to the vet. Everyone in the office said that I had the cutest, most well dressed dog they have seen in a while. They all loved the coat. Hey, if anyone has a Boston Terrier out there I have a question for you. Does your Boston fart and have the worst gas ever? Bo farts like a full grown man, and it is the grossest thing ever. He could seriously empty a room when he farts. The vet said it is a trait of Boston's, but I just don't know.



*I decided I'm going to start my Christmas shopping tomorrow. Yes shopping for others not myself. I figure that maybe if I go to the mall on a work day, in the middle of the day it might be a little less stressful for me. I have always loved to shop, but since Shawn has died it seems like for some reason the mall is where I decide to have that little panicky, anxiety feeling decide to sneak up on me. Maybe shopping on a week day when there is less people it won't be so bad.



*I strongly encourage all of you to visit my friend Sarah's web page and order her CD single of Christmas in Heaven. It is a wonderfully beautiful song. I finally got mine on Monday and found myself just driving around town listening to the song over and over again. Her voice is so beautiful and the song has so much meaning in it. I believe you can get 1CD for $5 or 5 CD's for $20.http://www.sarahschieber.com/ They would be great gifts to give to anybody during the holidays. You can hear a brief bit of the song on her website.

*I'm almost done reading Twilight. I love it!! It is such a great book. If Bo wouldn't have wanted to play so much this week, I probably would have finished it in just a day or two. I only have about 100 pages left, I will most likely finish tonight before I go to sleep. I have already gotten New Moon, so as soon as I finish Twilight I can start that one. I New Moon is as good as Twilight.

*O.k. seriously enough with the Kay Jewelers commercials where everyone and their freaking brother is getting engaged. I'm typically a huge sucker for these commercials and find them irritatingly sweet, but not this year and I swear every other commercial somebody is getting a huge rock put on their left hand.

*Last random thought, but by far the most important on my mind and not really so random. Tomorrow November 21 is Shawn's birthday. If he was still alive he would be turning 32. It sounds so odd and wrong for me to say "if he was still alive". He SHOULD still be alive and here with me. He was way to young to die from something as terrible as a heart attack. I still find it very unfair that he isn't with me. On my list of "firsts" this will be the second important first without him. First was my birthday a few weeks ago, now his. Next is Thanksgiving and Christmas. It makes me about sick to my stomach to think about Christmas without him. If there was a way I could skip Christmas this year I would, but if I don't face it this year then I would just have to face it next Christmas. I will post more about Shawn's birthday tomorrow.

So there you go a list of random thoughts.
