Cell phones are such a big part of our lives nowadays.  If we go somewhere and don’t have our phone, we miss having it with us.  Do you think cell phones are used for texting even more than for talking?  I think they probably are.  It doesn’t matter what type of phone people have, whether it’s Atrix or some other brand, most people use it many times during the day to text or talk.  In fact, cell phones have even replaced some people’s home phones.  We definitely depend on them nowadays!

I’ve been an elementary school teacher most of my life.  I have done a little in sales jobs, but what I really enjoy is teaching.  When I was a little girl, I would play like I was a teacher and would teach my stuffed animals.  In high school, I taught the toddler’s class at church.  It’s something that is a part of me, and I’m very thankful I have a job that is so rewarding!

This has been an extremely busy week!  I am so ready for the weekend only I have to go to an all-day workshop on Saturday which I’m not looking forward to attending.  I like to have Saturdays to sleep late, get things done around the house, do laundry, work on my blogs, etc.  I’m glad I don’t need to get a tattoo removal (I don’t have any) or any other random thing.  It will be all I can do to get the basics done!  My husband will help me, and I’m very thankful for his help!

There is so much to do this week at work!  I’m glad I don’t need to go buy projector bulbs for any of our electronics at home or do any major shopping.  Groceries are stocked for the week except for orange juice and milk.  That’s something my husband will pick up tomorrow sometime, whenever it works into his schedule.  I’ve done my laundry  so I’m ready for this week!

There are many ads in the mail and newspapers plus lots of ads on the radio and TV for a mattress for sale, toys for sale, appliances for sale, etc.  Christmas time has gotten way too commercialized!   There is so much commercialism that it takes away from the true meaning of Christmas.  People get caught up in the hectic pace this time of year, and some can’t fully enjoy the special times with family and friends because they are exhausted.  Hmmm…seems like if we prioritized and focused on what is really important then people could fully enjoy this time of year.

How’s your Christmas shopping going?  I still have some more left to do!  Finding time to shop is the problem, or maybe finding the energy sometimes.  What’s left on your list of gifts to get?  Maybe an ipod nano or something else that’s popular?  I hope to finish all my shopping soon, hopefully by the end of the week.  Hope you’re nearly finished with your shopping, too!

This has been a very busy week!  Seems like it’s been busy for nearly everyone I know, and we’re all anticipating the holidays.  I made a couple of quick trips to the store during the week to get what we needed such as basic groceries, not anything like epiduo or anything else that was not something we needed soon.  Time was a factor, so quick and easy errands were all I had time for.

We’ve had some really beautiful, sunny days here in north central Texas recently.  For a while there, we were having lots of rain.  We had so much rain that some people may have thought about getting a dehumidifier.  But that didn’t last too long, and now we’re just soaking up the sun and enjoying the beautiful fall weather!  This week and next week are forecast to be nice!
