Tis' the Season....

...To be Tacky that is. There are only a few things that really put me out of the holiday spirit and yes I guess I am a Scrooge, Grinch, or whatever you want to call it. One thing that really turns me off is the fact that even before Halloween was here this year, I walked into a store and what did I hear...Christmas music. Don't get me wrong there is a time for Christmas music but 2 months away is not that time. Now I can avoid Christmas music in stores easily...it is called shopping on the Internet. This way I don't have to deal with crazy people, traffic, and just plain stupidity. Now I can avoid all these things if I try hard enough, but avoiding the most annoying thing about this time of year is a bit harder. I am talking about people that hove no sense of taste when it comes to decorating the outside of their houses and lawns. Now this can be tastefully done with a few lights or what not but there are some people that have no shame. I am talking about those who have littered their lawns with those abominations known as those INFLATABLE things. Whoever invented these things needs to be shot...many times. When they first came out they were just stationary and now they move...what's next? They make sound? ugh!

Now it wouldn't be so bad but almost everyone who has these in the yard don't have just one but a whole slew of them which makes it much worse. This picture was taken in my neighborhood...these people are lucky I don't own a pellet gun because the temptation for target practice is certainly there. The only people worse then people who put them up at Christmas are those who perpetuate this abomination for every holiday throughout the year. SOme people just have too much money and free time.

IN OTHER NEWS...

MY duplex is actually starting to look like someone lives there. In addition to the couch I got this summer I got a table this weekend at an auction for only $66.
I also put up the painting I brought back with me from home after Thanksgiving...
It was in my grandfather's office and when they closed the place I called dibs on the it because it has always been one of my favorites, plus it is the WV capitol building.
Also in Jan. I am going to become certified to teach Spinning Classes at the YMCA which should not only be fun but also means I will not have to pay a membership fee.

Well as of this post, the 100th post, my Blog is now 2 years old. I would write more but not very many people read it and nothing exciting usually happens which would warrant a blog post.

anyway...
