Really, really, random...

Not sure where my holiday spirit is this year.  Seems to be missing.  I made a wreath, hung it on the garage and that is the extent of decorating.  December has wings, it is flying by, and I have no idea where it is going.  Below freezing weather every day, but no complaints from me, as it isn't raining. Even the ponds have frozen.

I have some new kick ass boots.  They make me want to dance and ride a horse, perhaps dance while riding a horse.

I went to a "clothing exchange" yesterday.  Take the clothes that you are tired of, never wear, wonder why you ever bought them in the first place, and exchange them for clothes that someone else is tired of, doesn't wear, and wonders why she bought them in the first place.  And then drink some wine.

I didn't get any wearing clothes, but I did get some clothes that I can cut apart and use the material to make something new and different.  If nothing else, I can use the material as lining for a bag or to clean up after the dogs.

And I did drink some wine, and so did everyone else.  One of the women, not someone I had ever met before, commenced to tell us all how to meet the perfect man and get him to marry you.  She is newly engaged, about 65, and feng shui-ed her home to make room for her perfect man.  Also, told us the book to read that would make all our dreams come true.  Talked about master minding.  Like Rick Perry, she had a hard time remembering the last part of the phrase....master, master, ummmm master... Well, of course I had to fill it in for her.  I was surprised to find that ....bating was not the rest of the word she was looking for.

Maybe I am jaded, but it was all I could do not to roll my eyes.  Seems to me that finding the perfect man is about 5% of the battle.  The real challenge is to continue to love the perfect man when you find out that he is not so perfect, and neither are you.  Speaking of which, my mother and father-in-law are celebrating 60 years of marriage this month.  Now that's a lot of compromising, putting up with, negotiating, and just plain loving.  Congratulations!
