Items of Thought

• I feel organized with these bulletin points.
• The beautiful people you see in the picture are stunning aren't they? (From left to right) Yours truly and the ever so handsome PFC Brett Merkley. He just graduated from his basic training. Look at him. What a BABE!!! I am sooo proud of him.
• Dealings with insurance companies are... Well, I guess I don't really need to elaborate because once you read the beginning of this bullet point you were probably thrust into a vortex of bad memories where you had to deal with the insurance company. If this is a stretch for you just know that I am stressed out of my mind and I think that I deserve some ice cream.
• Speaking of vortex, my older brother wanted to name my triplet brother vortex. Cute. (I really hope you picked up the sarcasm)
• The phrase "waiting for Christmas" has never applied to me this strongly. I wonder how much it would cost to be put in a medically induced coma until a week before Christmas. And what percentage of my insurance would cover it... Below are a few reasons why. (Mostly number 1 though)
  

1. Brett will be home around theeee 17th ish? We will spend close to two and a half marvelous weeks together. sigh...
   
2. I am not a Scrooge in the least. I LOVE Christmas.
   
3. I love families getting together.
4. I love the smell of Christmas.
5. I love Christmas songs... carols. Whatever.
6. I love being a bit more dressed up for dinner.
7. I love walks at night in the snow.
8. I love hot chocolate and cider.
9. I love how people are generally jolly.
   

• I knew that Brett being gone would be hard. But, to be honest, I had no idea that it would ever be this hard. But still, even if I had known from the beginning that it was going to be this hard it wouldn't change it. Any of it.
  
• South Carolina weather is deceiving.
  
• I learned last night with Al that just like there is no wrong way to eat a Reese's, there is no wrong way to eat macaroni and cheese.
