Sometimes I wish I could take a long winters nap and wake up with it being sunny, green and rosy again. Not saying I don't like winter, snow, and the cold. I'm just saying that moving on from the bad is how I cope with the todays and the tomorrows. I cannot look back. I can only look forward. I cannot change time that has already passed, but I can certainly do my best to live each minute today. I'll worry about tomorrow, tomorrow........I've had my fill of sadness and heartbreak. Tis the season to be merry and jolly and it's time to step forward and enjoy it. Really enjoy it.
The fam and I are doing something different this year. We're headed out of town for Christmas. Not sure this is something that is going to appeal to me, but it's too late to back out. Reservations are made and we're headed out first thing in the morning. I am leaving my decorated tree and we're driving to Las Vegas. It will be a short trip, but a fun one I am hoping. My baby boy is going to school in Phoenix and will drive up and meet us in Vegas. Oldest boy is flying in and middle son will drive down with the husband and me. A total and complete family affair. This is what they wanted for Christmas. A family trip. Frankly, I can think of better places to go than Las Vegas, like Hawaii, but since the baby son is in school and on a limited budget, Vegas is where we'll be. 'It's a half way point for us and for him. Actually we drive an hour more than him. Six hour drive for us, but it goes by quickly. I am kind of excited. We're seeing a couple of shows and having a nice dinner or two. There will be plenty of opportunities for me to take a ton of pictures. See the holiday lights and how the casinos decorate for Christmas. I love Christmas. It's my favorite holiday. To be somewhere different for the holidays will be a different scene. If this trip is a success, then we will definitely do this again over the holidays, but next time, someplace warm. Like Hawaii, or Mexico...........some place that I can dabble my toes in ocean water, drink funky, tropical drinks, slather myself with sunscreen and sit under an umbrella with a huge hat shading me and read trashy, but oh so good, romance novels and dream about...........sorry can't let you in on that part of my fantasy....... Get the picture......anyplace warm and tropical will be just fine..........
So with that being said, I hope everyone in my life has a wonderful and uneventful Christmas. No trauma, no drama, no family quarrels. Just peace, love, happiness and joy. Oh, and no hangovers either. I hope everyone gets what they asked for from Santa. I know there won't be any 1 f dolls wrapped up with pretty ribbon under the Christmas tree. I'd settle for a life size poster of the kid myself. But that ain't gonna happen either. But if I could grant a wish to everyone who has the same obsession as me in regards to 1 f, it would for it to come true, whatever your wish happens to be. Even if it's only for a split second. If it would put a smile on your face, then my job is done. I just know that this kid puts a smile so big around my heart it aches sometimes. Heaven help the male population as you have some pretty big shoes to fill. I don't think any female walking this earth is going to settle for anything less. I know I wouldn't.
Soon 1 f is going to have to move over and let the new Bachelor take hold of the reins. Competition is always good. He's certainly set the bar pretty high for future bachelors to appear on both franchises....I'm pretty sure Sean will do a fine job. I'm looking forward to seeing a personality emerge. He was a bit boring for me to watch. Maybe I like guys with a bit more edge, too. He does have something going for him and that's a killer "I work out" body.......Hmmmmmmm...yup he's a mighty fine specimen.
Have a merry, merry Christmas.....hope you go to sleep with sugar plums dancing in your head on Christmas Eve.
