And by Hate, I mean LOVE

Forgive me for not writing in a while, I am having some difficulty with large companies thinking it is important to block off websites that display "Media Content." But I do get the feeling that this is a rare occasion that I am allowed to blog, so I am making this one extra confusing so that you have more time until my next posting.


This time of year is making me quite giddy. I wait all year long for this coming season. The anticipation of the holiday season actually keeps me going through the rough parts of the year. I'm not talking about how much I love the weather because I don't. I actually hate being cold and cuddling next to a fire. I hate the way an ice storm makes a tree or a fence look. I can't stand snow. I don't think it's cute when kids make snow angels, and I don't enjoy snow ball fights. Anyone who has met me knows that my body is not built for skiing. If you're thinking I look forward to post cards and letters, your wrong again. I hate going to the post office. I hate trying to find something to say to people that I haven't seen since I was 12 years old. I hate letting them know what I've been up to. I hate hearing from everyone who sends me something via postcard or letter or email or text message. If you're thinking I am talking about the food, you are wrong most of all. I ABSOLUTELY HATE the food during the holiday seasons. I hate all of the home made turkeys and all the delicious side dishes that follow. I hate eating so much that I actually miss an entire day because I'm passed out from a food coma. I hate the smell of a delicious holiday dinner that fills the house right before you sit down to eat. I hate having to get up from the table to get seconds.... and thirds and fourths. So are you ready to know what I do love? I love all of the discount shopping and sales. I LOVE to shop. I LOVE malls. I LOVE fighting rampaged, possessed women for parking spots. If I'm going to the mall this year, I'm not taking a taxi or the bus. I cannot wait for the shopping experiences of a lifetime.


This didn't turn out like I wanted it to but it's still confusing enough.
