....in 0.6 seconds flat!

So I was off from work today and during a homework break, I decided to watch a little TV. Why, in a matter of about 45 minutes, did I see about 5 Christmas commercials? And tonight I was at the shopette getting gas, and a Kenny-G-esque version of Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas came on. What in the world is going on? How did we go from this:

to this:

practically overnight? Let the candy corn get out of our systems please before you start shoving candy canes down our throats! Don't get me wrong, I love...I mean LOVE Christmas, but starting everything too early sort of ruins the magic of it. The real meaning will never be less than amazing and of course I reflect on that not only on Christmas but everyday...but I also love the magic of the fun, lovely side dishes that compliment the main course of CHRIST-mas. Can we wait until at least a week or two before Thanksgiving before the HoHoHo's and Grinchy stuff makes their debuts? Wow-wow-we-waa...I'm not saying, I'm just saying...Christmas is here before Thanksgiving has even made an appearance. Poor Tom Turkey, always overshadowed by the after Thanksgiving sales pitches...Don't worry Tom, you are in my focus right now. I promise, NO Christmas stuff from me until I've given you your proper respect.

The past couple days have been great. On Saturday Jas and I helped out at the fall festival at our church here. We manned this bouncy inflatable deal-ly thing. I never had those when I was little. Even if I did, I probably wouldn't have gotten in, especialy as dark as it was Saturday night. I hated that big ball pit thing at Chuck E. Cheese (it was called Showbiz when I was little) because when you got in there, you started to sink down into the balls. I always thought someone was down there trying to GET me. The automatic car wash used to scare me for goodness sake, so the thought of getting into a bouncy inflatable thing as a little girl probably would have been totally OUT of the question...but I'd get in one now...don't make fun of me, I'm still a kid at heart:)

My last few days have been filled with homework...and the next few days promise to be filled with more because I have two papers due on Sunday. Ugh! I am going TDY on Friday so if I don't get everything done this week, I will get a lot of time on the bus to catch up...but hopefully I will be done before then. Great news! I am on my last chapter in class #1! WOO HOOO! The next couple weeks in that class sholdn't be too bad, because the last week is the exam week. After I take my exam, I will only have 3 weeks left in my other class. Oh yeah! Saying that makes me super motivated...I am so glad that I am getting closer and closer, but sometimes...it is hard to keep my eyes on the end result...but it will most certainly be here before I know it! Go Keisha! Go Keisha!

Anyhoo, I think I'm gonna go up and hit the sack, I have a very early National Anthem performance (8:00 a.m.), and I don't wanna sound like a man when I get there...so I need to make sure I get up early enough to get the cobwebs out. Goodnight y'all.

Thanks for stopping by....
