My husband says my idea of heaven might be "always Christmas." Indeed, there is a local Christmas store which was named that before they changed their name to something less memorable...which I can't remember now! So needless to say...I kinda like the Christmas season.

Oh sure, Christmas has it's downside and negatives with the oft mentioned commercialization, the crowds, the traffic, disappointments, dashed expectations, possible family conflicts, potential loneliness,...

Well, today is officially the first day of Autumn. I love Fall! My favorite season without a doubt. I'm waiting for my friend, ai-angel_writer to write a blog about Fall (which she has promised me she will do soon!) She has such a wonderfully descriptive writing style, I'm sure it will be glorious.

I love the fact that I can stay up as late as I want on Friday night!( Of course, I can ANY night & sometimes do, but I will pay the next day!) I can stay up late reading, "foruming"...

I guess a blog gives you a personal soapbox so to speak about whatever topic strikes your fancy! THAT'S SCARY! LOL!

I was just thinking today about cellphones and driving ... or more precisely, using our cellphones while we drive. We found out Saturday that a friend of ours was just involved in a car accident.
