It’s a busy, and for some folk, stressful time. I don’t know what makes the holiest part of the year stressful. Well, it’s Jesus’ birthday, if you’re of a Christian nature. This time of year don’t bother me with stress. It’s a time to settle down and regroup ’cause this is when folk get the most time off. It’s been real strange to me though, how there are so many folk outta work, and have been for awhile, but the malls and store parking lots are packed. I’m like, shit, where did the money come from all of a sudden?
I wish at the end of every year, I could go and shop like a mad woman but I’d probably end up extremely bored with it. Redundancy is unsettling to me. Like, if I was dating a fella and all we did on Friday nights was pop in a DVD and eat chicken nuggets or some other fake food of that nature, I’d eventually want to pop the shit outta him. Not that I would but I’d certainly imagine it and humor myself with the thought.
I remember this one fella I dated was always talking about women he dated. He thought he was hot shit. One time he told me, “I’m gonna work out and be all fine the next time you see me.” I told that ass, “Must gonna be a loooong time before I see you again.” If you knew anything about him, you’d understand why I had to shoot off like that. Then again, you can meet him now.
Anyhow. I’m gonna be a little quiet over these last days of this year as I try to wrap up some things. Plus, my son, who calls himself Masta Unk now, is here from the army, so I’m gonna enjoy his time here. Now, ladies, not ’cause he came from me, or maybe so, but Masta Unk IS the shit. (Wink, wink y’all).
I'm an artist who's writing,mothering, blogging and doing a few other things under the sun. I buy toilet paper 99.9% of every trip I make to the grocery store. I'm a people watcher, so I know you're here but drop me a line anyway.
God bless and happy trails, Gorgeous! Don’t start sufferin’ fools. I love you just the way you are!
Thanks, Linda.
Wishing you a beautiful Christmas, Tots Xxx
And Merry Christmas to you.
‘Tis the Season, TM…
Enjoy your holiday…
I’d get bored too. Routine does that to me.
Wishing you a few days of quiet and relaxation. Hope Masta Unk makes you breakfast and lunch and dinner. Go ahead, put your feet up and chill.
See you in the New Year. Meantime, have a wonderful Christmas!
Thank you. I don’t see that much food will be made from Masta Unk’s hands. So far, no good but I didn’t expect it. Enjoy the holidays and your family.
Have a lovely holiday with your son!
Thanks, Lisa. Enjoy your holidays and cook it up!
Enjoy your time with your son, and in deep holiday reflection [visions of sugar plumes for me]. In case ya didn’t know, someone is making it snow on your blog. Is this the happening to anyone else?
I will.
I see the snow and sometimes not. I’ve seen it on other blogs too.
Sounds like you’ve got your priorities straight and are heading into 2013 in good shape. Enjoy every moment, Tots!
Yep. Gonna relax a little, between working. Thanks.
Merry christmas Totsy, enjoy your time with your son and your family !
Thanks. Happy Holidays to you and yours, Ariana.
Merry Christmas and a wonderful new year to you, Totsy! Now I’m off to get stressed. Sigh.
Thank you. Hope you had a nice and stressful holiday
I like to humor myself with lots of thoughts … better to humor the noodle than to actually do it and go to jail! … know what I mean?
Merry Holidays!
Yep, I know what you mean. Happy New Year!
Likewise Totsy!
Happy holidays! My dear friend, I have been out of control working, but will be back full time in the new year. Peace!
Out of control?! I wish I could say the same. Feels like I think too much and move too slow. Maybe reading your response here will make me outta control crazy with working too. I’m making progress, however.
Merry Christmas/ Joyeux Noël, Totsy!
xx
Hope you had a celebratory time. Keep painting…:-)
Enjoy your time with your son, merry Christmas!
Thank you and Happy New Year.
I’m having a catch-up-with-blogs day. Hope your Christmas was a merry family time!
Do you ever really catch up?
I had a nice Christmas. Hope you did as well.
Wishing you a peaceful time with your family and a fabulous New Year, Totsy.
Love that ptg, Girl!
Yes, it’s been a good time with the family. Mr Boy now calls himself Masta Unk, so what can I say? He’s trying to be a real grown person now.
Happy New Year to you…Glad you like the painting. I was experimenting a bit. 
Have a wonderful visit with Mr. Boy/Masta Unk, and good for you for avoiding the routine of a boring guy. I recently paid a pity call on my ex and just about got a headache fighting to keep my eyeballs from rolling up in my head at his boringness. Take care, see you around in the New Year.
Have an AWESOME NEW YEAR LADY! I think as creative people we need that little “drama” or adventure.
