Lo Siento!

I haven't been writing much here, but that's because I have been VERY busy and have also been trying not to spend a lot of time on the computer. I will probably only write here when I actually do-a devotional blog I share with a couple friends, but I'll be back from time to time!

Listamania 8.0: Life of a Scrooge?

I am beginning to realize that I am such an old Scrooge, and sometimes dare I say the Grinch, about many holidays that others find fun. Not really Easter, Christmas, Thanksgiving, the New Year, or the 4th of July though. Do not worry. I have a heart.

While I'm on the subject of the 4th of July, I'll share a great quote that I cannot forget about such a fun holiday!
"You look like the Fourth of July! Makes me want a hot dog REAL BAD!"

Inevitably...here's my top 10 list of Grinchtastic items... 

1. I HATE Halloween. We never celebrated as a kid, and I'm not that big of a fan of candy anyway.

2. I despise St. Patrick's Day. Most likely due to the fact that it's the day before my birthday. But also largely in part due to the fact that pinching people for not wearing green is just silly.

3. I dread April Fool's Day. Definitely big on playing practical jokes, but not so big on the receiving. :-/

4. I never liked Homecoming. And probably never will. Mums are overrated and a waste of money. What ever happened to homecoming really being about people coming back home?!

5. Valentine's Day is annoying. Maybe that's because even when I actually had a Valentine -maybe that was once?- it wasn't special. Let's show love to others all the time! Not just on one certain day.

6. Getting dressed up to go places is not always fun. Why try to impress so much? Not for me.

7. Crowds are scary. I love people, but crowds...not so much. I have been afraid of potential pickpockets ever since I visited Prague a few years ago. I like to be by myself also, so if there are too many people around I get awkward- even if I know everyone and am BFF with them all!


8. I do not party well at costume parties. Kind of related to Halloween, but I don't like it when people dress up and fake being things/people that they aren't.

9. Renting movies to watch at home with others is not ideal fun. I cannot sit still! I must DO THINGS! Nothing feels like a bigger waste of time than sitting still at home. I love movies, but I have to watch them by myself while doing other things (crafts, cleaning, organizing, etc.) or else I will fall asleep.

10. I am a grinch about being a grinch. I never realized until recently how many things I have to shrug and pretend I like when I really don't. Sorry friends, but this is me!

Please believe I still have a heart!! And a big one at that!
