Here it is almost the end of July. I can’t believe that days are all ready getting shorter and before we know it we will be getting into the holiday season, once again. OMG!

We all love weddings. They are always a happy day for the bridal party and all the guests. There are so many nice parts of the wedding and the reception for everyone to enjoy.I attended a lovely wedding yesterday. The bride was lovely and the groom was quite handsome. The cake was magnificent and we each were given a cute wedding favor to take home with us in additional to a couple extra slices of wedding cake that the bride insisted we take with us.

I found a nice selection of Wedding Gifts and everything a bride would need to plan and equip her dream wedding at the web site “Sincerity Weddings.”

I’m finding out more and more with this new WordPress update 2.7, but I really do hate that feeling of being a “newbie” all over again. It must be with all of the holiday chaos and stress that is making me a bit anxious, but I am trying and it does have some interesting features that I have stumbled across. Trial and Error, that is the way this is working out, as so much does when dealing with computers and all the other technology that I’m surrounded by on a daily basis!

I haven’t had a lot of time to post much, much less explore and learn all the new things that I need to know to successfully maneuver around here with ease. With New Year’s right around the corner and my hectic work schedule I am getting burned out and ready for all this holiday craziness over and done with.

Today is December 1st, the beginning of the the last month of the year 2008. The first of the month always brings the task of paying the majority of the house hold monthly bills for me and what a bummer it is this last month of the year to see what little is left to use for buying the Christmas gifts that we find are so necessary to give each and every year.

I didn’t brave the Black Friday shopping frenzy, that isn’t something that I’m into at all. Just thinking about the whole horrible process involved in that event makes my stomach uneasy and gives me a head ache.

This year, now that I know how much I have to play with, most of my shopping will be done online. This is something that a good amount of people are doing and I intend to be one of the statistics for this year. No crowds, no parking issues, no rude sale associates, no lines, no freezing my buns off outside and sweating to death inside all the stores and no holiday music being drummed into my head that is being played in every store in the country.

I can’t believe that the owner of the restaurant and bar that I tend the bar at has, at the last minute decided to have their doors open and welcoming for the day of Thanksgiving. After finding that most of his employees don’t have immediate family members to celebrate the holiday with, he made his decision based on employee availability. He has been asked numerous times by the “regulars” if he would consider this possibility and he grabbed the bait and definitely ran with it. Just wish he had not waited until the last minute.

So the bad news is that I have to tend bar tomorrow. A bar and restaurant filled with all of the other “loners” in the county will certainly be an interesting shift, they better not be stingy with their wallets, due to their loneliness and depression that is known to hit people harder during the family oriented holiday season.

The good news is that we are promised to be paid overtime for the inconvenience and all of our efforts in making this as pleasant as we possibly can.
