You're getting a mixed bag of blog today. Nothing political so if that's what you're tuning in for you can go on to another site right now. It's just my usual nonsense, back to normal junk. Sorry to disappoint !
Busy week this week. Monday I FINALLY got to go to one of the many masses I've had said for poor old Husband. I set up having a mass a month on the 14 of every month this year because the 14th of July was H's birthday. But with all my traveling I haven't been around to attend these masses. (Yes I could have gone to mass in any church any where on the 14th of the month but . . .. ) well . . . Monday I went to mass at 8:30 IN THE MORNING (you who know me realize the sacrifice I make in getting up for mass at this hour). Lovely mass and I always wonder when I am there why I don't do that more often. It IS a fantastic way to start my day. With one exception! When I come out of church I am at a loss to figure out what to do ! NOTHING - I mean NOTHING - is OPEN ! So I got in the car and went to Staples. Do you know Staples opens at EIGHT (8) AM in the morning ????? There was NO ONE in the store at 9:15 AM but that was OK. Do you also know you can go SHOPPING in Staples ?? That store has some great stuff !! I actually had a mission. I went to get my Christmas letter printed on the cool Christmas paper that I had bought on sale at Staples 2 years ago. The reason it was on sale is because every time I tried to run it through MY printer it jammed so I had to pay Staples to print it on their printer. (Very sneaky Staples!) But since I was in the store I also did a little shopping. It's amazing what they sell.
From Staples I went to the mall to pick my glasses. This is the second time I have had to replace the lenses in my glasses because they were pealing and getting all nasty. Being me I do not take the very best of care of my glasses and when they are not sitting on my face I tend to just toss them on the bed at night. During the day if they are looking cloudy I will wipe them on what ever is available, shirt, pants, tissue, what ever. Apparently that is a NO NO ! I realize the eye glass store always tells you to wipe off your glasses with their cleaning cloths and cleaning solution. I figured that was their money making gimmick. Well, turns out it has some validation to it because of the coating that is on the lenses to make them darken in the sun. OOPS on my part. So now I have a box of the cleaning cloths and 2 bottles of the cleaning solution and I will be much more careful with my glasses. ( I am a VERY slow learner!) BUT while I was at the mall I decided to take a walk with my nice clean eyes and get some exercise and what to my wondering eyes show appear but CHRISTMAS decorations in all their magnificent glory. Complete with the sort of Santa Village in the center of the mall. It was the strangest looking thing all set up like Santa should be there but decorated in Autumn colors. Very Strange! Meanwhile the stores are all ready for Christmas with decorations up and things definitely heading in the direction of Christmas. But ALL the window displays are featuring BLACK AND WHITE ! The color's for Christmas fashion this year are black and white. UGH ! As in ugly as in who's idea was that ? Every clothing store was featuring it. Black and White ! No pretty accent reds or greens or blues. Just black and white. Not for me thank you very much. There is too much black and white in the world as it is. And way too many grey areas. BRING ON THE COLOR !!!!
And speaking of bringing on the color . . . I brought some color into my ears on Tuesday. But I think you will have to wait till later to HEAR about that.
