Day 123, Countdown

Another one bites the dust... Today I had the lovely duty of signing what's left of my son's car over to the salvage company. As I was signing on the dotted line, I thought about what it must be like for people who have to do this while their child is lying in a hospital bed somewhere, or worse, in a morgue. It makes me shudder to think of the millions of teenagers behind the wheel of a vehicle, having no concept of what a death trap a car can be. When you're young, you think you are immortal----while that may seem true to my over zealous son, I fear his days of tempting fate are numbered.  He has walked away from two potentially fatal accidents.... It makes me sick to my stomach to think what will happen if there is a third brush with fate.

Okay... enough is enough... somebody pull the plug on the I-Tunes "Buy Now" app. I mean, really... I now have 544 songs in my Christmas playlist. .... and an I-Tunes bill that makes me blush with embarrassment. I think my daughter has created an I-Tunes monster! What SHALL I do when Christmas is over? Guess I'll have to work on my "Work Out" playlist... only 82 songs in there :) I now have a total of 1385 songs downloaded on my I-Pod... Who'd've thunk it? And all that just since Thanksgiving! Nothing obsessive here :)

Got our Christmas tree today.... Christmas is definitely on it's way! I'm starting to get excited. Okay... I've been excited since Halloween,,, but who's counting? (My husband, that's who!) I think he is very happy that I have earphones and an IPOD this year.....Hmmmmm. ... maybe that's why he bought me the IPOD for Christmas last year! HAH! That sly devil!!! Now he doesn't have to listen to Christmas music 24/7.... Ah, the gig is up! Tomorrow... I start blaring holiday tunes in every room :)

He doesn't call me the Christmas Elf for nothing!
