My list to Santa

Dear Santa,

Here is my wish list of gifts I need you to STOP putting under the Christmas Tree:

1. New technology: if I dry hump one more person from behind because they stop short to read an email there is sure to be a warrant out for my arrest
2. Briefcases/ Laptop cases on wheels: these are not dogs on leashes people, they are basically tripwires that leave a path of destruction behind without the owner even taking a glance back
3. Trucks to soccer moms: seriously does every mom on LI need a truck, it is unbelievable. Santa if you do decide to bring a new 4 x 4 please brings some common sense because that seems to disappear once the keys in the ignition. It is spelt T-R-U-C-K not T-A-N-K.
4. Outside Illumination: Now, I love Christmas lights and I can even understand Halloween lights, but seriously I have seen Valentines Day, Thanksgiving and 4Th of July lights (not fireworks)
5. Black Jeans: These are making a comeback, I am very confused.
6. Tight jeans on guys: Really, who? I need to know how is telling these guys that its a good look, holy crap - it even looks painful.
7. Music now: Okay with the risk of sounding old, has anyone listened to the radio lately, I think not. Because if people were listening, the awful sounds coming from my radio would cease to exist.

"A Festivus for the Rest of Us"

It took me 3 1/2 months to finally start up this blog again. Alot has happened and we are ready to move forward so here's to a more consistent blog.

As the holidays approach and the economy takes another turn downwards it is easy to spot the stress on everyone's faces. Questions start to creep up into everyone's mind "can I afford this?" "How will I pay for this?" "Will I still have a job after the new year?"

These are all simple answers in the following order no, you can't and hopefully! Bottom line nobody knows for sure what will happen and I am pretty certain most don't even know how or what has happened. All that most know is something bad has happened and it needs to stop. The only difference between Upper Class, Middle Class and lower class is that the upper class can get a loan, the middle might be able (but it will be a horrid process) and lower class won't get any credit. That is it, that's the difference.

We all have been affected by the economy today some have lost jobs, some cannot get the house they want and others cannot get the house they want. We are all in this together and the only way out is to pick each other up.

So in the spirit of the holidays and all that is good waiting around the corner please everyone take a deep breath and then state "SERENITY NOW!"

HAPPY FESTIVUS!!!
