Making a list, checking it twice... How's your holiday shopping going? Who's left on your list?
Thanking God, Gamestop, and Sears sales...we are done all shopping for Christmas. Thanks to Amazon, Best Buy, Gamestop, and our dear friends: we have all our family presents for us 3 for Christmas.
After seeing and being out in all this:
UGH! My husband and I watched this movie last night and I was not impressed. It was like Nick Cage took his Face Off character and went retarded with it. It is not for children at all. I do not recommend anyone to see it ever. I think it should be burned. Just because Nick Cage and Eva Mendez are in it, as well as a few other good actors, it isn't worth the time. It was horrendous, and I can't even tell you all the details as to why. It was just BAD in general. The ending was worse. Just terrible. The only good part about the movie was the twist in the story, even though you couldn't really understand all the stuff around it, and the credits rolling.
What would it take to get you to start a new life on a new world?

The end of the one I currently live in... LOL

What are your plans for Christmas? Ours are tentative, at best. We want to go to NJ and visit family on Christmas Day, then come right back to NY. I don't know yet, though. I know we are going to see the tree in Manhattan, but not sure what day. Trying to talk the hubs into going today, as this day is the only guaranteed day this week that there will be no snow or rain or extremely frigid air to walk in. I am allergic to walking in the cold *literally, though I have never met another person with the same allergy*, so I have to plan any trips where there is a lot of walking in cold temperatures so that I have ample time to walk slow and sit places that are warm. I also have to wear about 3 pairs of socks to extend the time between having to rest. It's crazy! Anywho....
How many commercials are there about health care and money subsidies right now? I have seen so many commercials lately for things like social security disability benefits, free health care programs, and all kinds of things like that. I believe it is a sign of the times. There were never so many commercials about these things before. Between those commercials and the ones about drugs to help depression, they pretty much have a monopoly on many time slots.
How has technology’s constant presence affected your (or your child’s) education?

Homeschooling is much more in-depth and efficient. Instead of saying "wait till we go to the library to look that up" when he comes up with questions, I can type in a few words online and BAM : information. He has seen a number of videos on how things are made, which supplements many shows we see on tv or things he thinks about on his own. There are interactive sites where he can see inside the body, through the galaxy, and really get into his schooling. It's awesome. I can do the same for myself!
What's your favorite thing about the holidays? Least favorite?
I can answer both questions with one answer:
When they are over.
Criminey! Tired of looking online for stuff to buy. I mean, seriously. Why can't people just offer the best prices for auto accessories, computer stuff, and video games without me having to scour the planet? It's annoying! I used to love the hunt for the deal. Now, it is becoming a chore. Maybe I won't feel so much like this after the holidays. Holiday shopping always drives me bonkers....
