eeeeek...and some advice...

just because i felt the need to creep you out as well...

sketchy santas

and i'm just gonna throw in my .02
why on earth would you even have a picture taken
of your child screaming on santa's lap?
most santas are almost as creepy as clowns...
who can blame those kids for screaming.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
let it snow let it snow let it snow...

well, yesterday was a snow day for Munki...
the snow was gorgeous...
the snow started piling up...
the wind kicked in...
the temperature rose a bit...
said snow turned to sleet...
temperature rose some more...
said sleet turned to rain...
rain was accompanied by thunder and gnarly lightning...
goodbye gorgeous snow.

hello, ice and nasty looking, not so white anymore stuff...
i have been robbed of my beautiful snow.
it was really piling up too.
one pug was ecstatic...(Lucy)
the other (Olive) stood outside with one little paw up
just shaking and trembling as if being tortured...
ah, winter with the pugs.
they much prefer the blanket right in front of the space heater.

have a great thursday and do something stress free...
everyone gets so stressy this time of year.
be happy, not all in a rush...
treat people with some kindness...
it'll make you feel better, i promise.
smiling is good for you...try starting there.
and be nice to that cashier in the retail store
who may not do everything exactly as fast or as perfectly
as you'd like them to.
you've never seen crazy/rude/mean/malicious/etc etc etc
until you've worked at a retail store during the holidays..
i think everyone should have to do it at least once in their lives.
be kind to your cashiers...
your waitresses/waiters...(they deal with a lot too)
your postal workers...(i don't envy them this time of year)
and all those other people that are helping you out
this holiday season...

smile...say thank you...
and just have some patience and some common courtesy.


happy thursday!

  1. What a wonderful post! That's some very sound advice right there and I couldn't agree more. It doesn't hurt anyone to be a little kinder and more courteous to the people trying to serve you.

    I'm sorry about your lovely snow, by the way.

    How are you feeling lately? I do hope you're in less pain than you were.

  2. I think a good lesson in humanity and compassion could be taught if working retail during the holiday season was mandatory for EVERYONE. I think the world would stand a chance at being a little better for it.

  3. thanks, ladies...

    miss sally...
    kindness = everyone is happier...=]
    &we'll get more snow soon, i hope...
    hopefully before christmas.


    and jovi...i TOTALLY agree...
    it should be a mandatory life requirement
    that everyone should have to work
    at least one retail holiday season.
