I bought a Christmas tree the other day! It’s not that I
have been anti-Christmas when it comes to a tree, it’s just that the day after
Thanksgiving comes and goes so fast and then it’s December 25 and then it’s way
too late. I bought a little table top
tree a while ago and that has been what I used for that past several years. But
then my mom (aka the roommate) said, I think we should get a tree!! We means me.
So Monday at lunch in a dress I go to the Home Dept. I went there because my seester said it was
less of a hassle than going to a lot.
Thankfully there was a dad (who was actually kinda cute) buying a tree
and he was helping me and I guess I was helping him. The cashier was actually pretty helpful and
then they had 2 extra workers who were also helpful. I NEVER get that much help from the Home
Depot crew so clearly this was my day!
The one dude cut the bottom and trimmed some branches and the kicker was
that it needed to go in my backseat. The
trunk had stuff from the Sam’s Club AND the wheelchair and there was just no
way it would fit there. I don’t know if
it was the smell or what but I had a smile on face!! He put it in the backseat and I had to roll
the window down, it really is a little tree.
I get it home, leaned it against my ottoman and didn’t put it up until
after my sorority meeting. It worried
the roommate and even though she was in the bed when I got home, she wanted to
get up to hold it in place so that I could screw in the screws at the
bottom. I told her I was fine and that I
didn’t want the tree or her to topple over.
The next night I started decorating and it again worried the
roommate. She insisted on helping even
though she couldn’t see the green hook to put on the green tree. So she pointed and said just follow my
point!! So the lights and some balls are
on the tree. I need a few more hooks and
balls and it’ll be complete. Paisley
hasn’t ventured to mess with it which I guess is a good thing, but we’ll
see. Christmas is next week!
SO this whole Sony thing is both sad and hilarious!! Basically there is a movie about to come out
called ‘The Interview’ with James Franco and Seth Rogen. The quick and dirty is that they are plotting
to kill the North Korean dictator. And
then Sony files and emails got hacked and Koreans are being blamed. I have
several layers to my thoughts. 1st
off getting a script green lit in Hollywood takes a lot of effort. You go through many levels of people who read
the script and decide who is going to do what and at every level people said
Yep that’s a good idea!! Sounds good to
me!! Strained relations with North
Korea?!?! OH no problem, it’s just a
movie and it’s funny so yeah let’s go ahead and spend millions on this bullshit
even though we just turned down a really good script because no one looked like
the one presenting it and we just can’t see it but James Franco and Seth Rogen,
people like them so yeah GREEN LIGHT!!
That right there gets major side eye. After all of this the movie gets
made and the North Koreans are not happy.
I mean would you be?? It just smells bad to me. 2nd Sony executives have had their
files and emails hacked and all kindsa stuff is coming out about all the
celebrities like someone said something about Angelina Jolie, they made fun of
The Smith kids being home schooled, we find out the points for ‘American Hustle’
the men got 9% but the women got 7%. AND
THEN they are making a plea to the social media outlets and CNN to stop
reporting on it. REALLY GIRL??? I just don’t feel sorry for them. Nothing is private and you have to be careful
what you say and do. Big brother is
always watching. I read this article on
the whole Elf on the shelf phenomenon and that’s a whole nuther thing…. Basically
it’s saying you are setting your kids up to not question authority and to be cautious
and always do good because that thing is watching you. Whew I digress…So yeah I forgot what I was
gonna say next (imagine that LOL)!!
***UPDATE***
Sony has pulled the movie all together! WOW is all I can say. I had no intention of seeing the movie because you seen one Seth Rogen James Farnco movie... you seen em all. But this right here is interesting!!
