Don't worry...

BatShitCrazy is back on Facebook. Entertaining the world with her white trash baby daddy dramatic excellence.

She had some family drama the week of Thanksgiving and couldn't help herself.

Mom thinks we are mean for following her and talking about it and reveling in the craziness - We just tell her, if you are putting your drama out there for people to see, you have to expect it.

Who is the authority here?

So as the holidays roll around and Christmas music permeates the air (LOVE) something bugs me. One particular song is thrown into the Christmas mix each year and I disagree with the fact that it is a Christmas song. Someone please explain?

My Favorite Things - as sung by Julie Andrews in Sound of Music (love that movie, have it on VHS)

Just because it mentions sleigh bells (which were most likely common in Austria at the time during the entire winter) doesn't make it a Christmas song. A winter song - yes. Christmas - notsomuch

Who decided it fits? I'd really like to debate this with them.

Advice

I have some good friends who lately have been in kind of a funk. 'Nothing' is going right, everything is terrible and someone is always out to get them. It can be exhausting to listen to. I love them, but one can only listen to so much misery. I do my darnedest (usually when I'm tiring of hearing all of the negative stuff) to remind them they have a job (if you don't like it then find something else), a wife (if you don't like it than find someone else), a roof over their head, their health (not dying of some disease? everything you have is fixable? that's what I'm saying), healthy kids, etc. Somehow they don't want to hear about the good.

The good should be what you live for and I fear some people are missing that.

Reality checks in the form of other people's anguish are a sad way to remind yourself of how lucky you are. Just enjoy your life each day - how hard is that?

Gobble Gobble

We fully plan on eating our way through the weekend.

Nooooooooooo.....

My favorite bit of daily entertainment, BatShitCrazy, has quit Facebook. She has said it before and only been gone hours or, at the most, two days. We are going on a week and a half and I am going through withdrawals.

Perhaps I need to start a "Bring Back BatShitCrazy" campaign
