considering it\u2019s december. in the high 40\u2019s this week. maybe the winter will be mild after all? one of the banks on stevenson drive has one of those time\/temperature signs out front, and for the past couple of weeks, the temperature has read 96 degrees. one day it said 178. i like it when it says 96, because it instantly makes me think it\u2019s REALLY 96. and it makes me think of summer. the 178 is slightly troubling; hot weather is good, but a nuclear holocaust would not be so nice. especially with xmas coming up so soon.<\/p>\n
this afternoon i\u2019m going to shop; a couple of stores have TODAY ONLY fabulous sales. allegedly. we\u2019ll just see. i probably won\u2019t buy anything at all, but you never know. i\u2019m torn between wanting to go out and buy millions of gifts, and being practical and realizing i don\u2019t have a lot of money to spend on things, so i\u2019d better just relax about the whole thing. i find, though, when i\u2019m in a store and i see all the piles and mounds of stuff, attractively displayed, that i just want to buy stuff for everybody, all the time. i think maybe this is because i normally realize i can\u2019t go around buying stuff willy nilly, but somehow xmas makes me think NOW\u2019S THE TIME!<\/p>\n
prudence and practicality, i\u2019m really working on those attributes. not that i\u2019ll ever succeed, but you have to have goals.<\/p>\n
(ok, but on the other hand, when i\u2019m near death, will i reflect on my life and think, “i wish i\u2019d been more prudent and practical?)<\/p>\n
ok then,<\/p>\n
