Things I Haven't Done Yet

Mamacita says:

1.  I have never watched a reality show.

2.  I do not admire Angelina Jolie in the least.  Nor Brad Pitt.  Adultery is not admirable.

3.  I have never gone skinny-dipping, although I’ve gone swimming with lots of people who DID go skinny-dipping.  Everybody goes skinny-dipping in the Hoosier quarries, except for me.  I had and still have too many body issues, plus, quarry water is colder than a witches. . . . um, you know.  (Wouldn’t you think those would be hot, not cold?  Illogical!)

4.  I haven’t purchased my Thanksgiving turkey yet.  But the very fact that it’s comin’ up on it thrills me to the core.

5.  I haven’t put up any Christmas decorations yet, because it’s not time yet; however, I plan to do this a few days before Thanksgiving so my family can see them.

6.  I haven’t re-read Caroline B. Cooney’s What Child Is This yet this year, although I did get it out.  It’s lying on the desk before me, in fact.  If you haven’t yet read this book, I highly recommend it.  It makes me sob out loud every time, even though I know what’s going to happen by now.  I used to read it to my sixth graders in December, to get them in the mood to “Create Christmas” for a needy family each year.  Sigh.  I miss that.  But seriously, after you read this book, you’ll want to run out and make Christmas for a child, too.

7.  I haven’t started cleaning for the PEOPLE who will be here on Thanksgiving Day and the Day After, either.  I may have gotten out my Christmas dishes in anticipation, though.

8.  I haven’t been Christmas shopping yet this month.  But that’s because I ALREADY DID IT!  Thass right; I’m done.  But this is not good news to me, for I dearly adore making lists and thinking of things other people might like, so I can give it to them.

9.  I have never tried to destroy someone’s life, and, sadly, this is more than can be said for some people.

10.  I haven’t chosen my Christmas cards yet; this is another thing I love to do.

And now, I’m off to watch last Thursday’s Ugly Betty on the magical internets, because I haven’t done that yet, either.

  1. I have never gone skinny-dipping in the quarries of southern Indiana either but I’m married to someone who has. Oh and this same husband is a hydrogeologist who tells me that quarry water is cold because it’s usually spring fed. Now I’m going to have to read What Child is This to my kids.
