The holiday season is upon us. When I first started at my job, they would play Christmas music constantly. The past two years they've had it on a different station. The music is more enjoyable than what they normally play. A Christmas song is played every third song. So most people enjoy that as well. Me? I listen to Christmas music at home. I love Christmas music. I have pulled it up on youtube on the computer at work behind the paint desk. lol. Every week I've been wearing a different hairband that is decorated for Christmas. I already have one for New Year as well. Where there is a desk at work, that department has chosen to decorate. So at my store the service desk, pro desk, millwork desk (windows and doors), flooring desk, and of course the paint desk are all decorated. I love it. Lights, snowflakes, a mini Christmas tree, and a few other things. It's pretty. I've done most of my Christmas shopping as well. Last Saturday I went shopping with my mom. We went to the mall for starters. After that, we hit three other stores. It was a long, fun day. After we were done shopping, we went to her house to wrap gifts. While wrapping the first gift, I wasn't paying attention and cut my hand. Nothing bad. Just a cut.
Now today I'm off. I don't have much planned. A trip to town here in a bit with my mom. Maybe pick up something to eat. Going to be busy after that with something. I need to do some cleaning tonight. Perhaps cook something good for dinner. Open for suggestions. Personally, I like chicken. Actually, I love chicken. lol. Nuggets, fried, baked, sauteed with butter and seasonings. lol. You can't go wrong with chicken. Of course, I'll be listening to Christmas music when I cook and clean.
Sadly I think some of my rps are dead in the water. I don't want to send out messages to my partners about it, as I know it can take me a while to reply to a rp. So I may wait, but the feeling is still there that at least two of my rps are dead. It's alright. I'm saddened, of course, but it's the nature of the beast. I ran a plot idea by a good friend and partner last night. I wanted his thoughts on it. Let me just say the is about it. He said he was up for taking on the plot with me. lol. So I guess it wasn't that bad. Coming soon to a general rp thread near you. *insert female characters name here* was burdened by the everyday challenges of life. Bills, worry, stress, everyone at her job always looking to her for the answers. It was weighing her down. One evening, while walking towards her apartment, she stops, taking note of a large Christmas tree. There were families around it, all chatting away, with happy, smiling faces. She sighs, remembering how easy things were when she was a kid. There's a man dressed as Santa there, giving out candy canes to the children. It looked like a scene out of a movie. He sees her watching and smiles and waves. She returns the smile and waves to him as well. He gestures for her with a candy cane to cross the street. She shakes her head no but still offers him a smile. He nods, understanding. As he returns his attention back to the kids she says, "you wanna know what I want for Christmas fat man? I wish I were a kid again." Thinking no one heard her, she turns and heads inside her apartment building, but boy was she wrong. Santa turns back after she has disappeared inside. "Merry Christmas," he says, touching his nose and winking. The next morning she hears someone calling her name. Her eyes pop open. Something is certainly different. Something has changed. Of course, more things are going to change as she gets her Christmas wish. Ladies and gents, The Christmas Wish.
Now, it's beyond time for me to be up and going. I have to be somewhere shortly. So have a good day BMR.
