My version of Frivolous Friday

My friend Erin has a weekly update on her blog that she calls Frivilous Friday. I thought about coming up with some type of catchy phrase as such to title my bullet-point posts, but I'm not that creative. I am finding that weekly updates are best, so if I could write my own version of Frivilous Friday [or maybe Spectacular Sunday?] this is what I would say:


--I will never go Christmas shopping during December again ever. Last weekend I went to get dog food, and the traffic itself was ridiculous, not to mention the vultures in the parking lot. Picture this: open space available in very back of store with car over the line in spot to the left and big concrete light pole in the middle of the spot to the right. Logically, I park a little over the line to the right to avoid a door ding from car on the left. As I get out of my car, a lady drives by, literally rolls down her window and asks me, "why did you take up 2 spaces?" After fighting the madness prior to actually finding a place to park, needless to say I was not in the best of moods. I said very curtly," uh - there's a big pole in that spot next to me, so you couldn't have parked there anyways." LADY!!! Please forgive me dear Lord for not practicing patience and love to the best of my ability during this joyous time of year.

--Em and Stan want me to join Facebook. I'm considering, but still very anti. I hear it is rather addicting, and I would rather not succomb to more computer time at night, especially since I'm already on it all day at work. Plus, do you really talk to random people you went to high school with on a regular basis after the, "will you be my friend?" request? And by "talk" I do not mean stalk their web page for updates on their lives.

--K proposed to me 2 years ago last Sunday. Our friends Cody and Jen got engaged the day after we did. Our handsome beaus treated us to a double date last weekend - dinner at Tolouse followed by a horse-drawn carraige ride in Highland Park to look at Christmas lights. So romantic and thoughtful!! The weather was perfectly brisk and it was such a wonderful evening.


--Today in church our closing song of celebration was Feliz Navidad. The congregation was jamming. Clapping, lights flashing, the works. Love it.

--Last night we went to the Christmas symphony. Every year K's grandfather buys tickets for the fam. My favorite part is the audience sing-a-long. Unfortunately Rich got hit the back of the head by the people in the row behind shaking their keys to "Jingle Bells," but otherwise all went well. The cousins had dinner beforehand with no adults. So much more enjoyable without their supervision.
