Hello on a lovely Sunday, late in the afternoon/ early in the evening here in the Mountain Standard Time zone (USA in the Sonoran Desert).
Now playing:
Here's a salient thought - true, too:
Today I wore Jessica Simpson Fancy (eau de parfum) and MAN is it good! Just GOOD! Yummy - sweet - decadent, delicious, feminine, all of those lovely things in one very inexpensive perfume! It's so, SO good that I've applied it three times since waking up hours before Dawn, after a morning shower, and a third time after changing and getting ready for bed tonight. Mine was low but I found a great deal on a set that includes the 100ml as well as a travel spray, shower gel, and body lotion:
Soon - very soon! - this Presidential cycle here in the US will come to an end and may God help us all, literally. It's probably fair to say that many of us are sick to death of all the political advertisements; in fact, these days, if an insurance, or perfume, or restaurant (etc) commercial comes on, I breathe a sigh of grateful relief and let the ad play out, refreshed by something - anything! - other than politics. Honestly! They've killed it in the same way they slaughter Christmas, stealing the magic and joy from it by force-feeding the masses with "buy! buy! buy!" at all times 24/7/365.
One thing to look forward to in that specific regard, though: after-Christmas and New Year sales!
I love a good deal - but who doesn't, right?! 😎
No, Christmas is great - I just don't care about the commercial aspect of it because those trappings are all just a bunch of irrelevant crap that do not add to but rather detract from the entire point of the holiday to begin with and that is this one simple, Universe-altering thing: observing and celebrating the birth of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Full stop: that is the ONLY POINT of Christmas. So, for the next several tortuous weeks, we will sing the same 23 songs over and over until our brains melt; we will tolerate the VILE color combination of red with green (dear God, please help us all). We will eat the delicious, fattening things - we will wear the ugly sweaters. Not all bad, I must say.
Still: not my favorite time of year. How about you?
