I’ve been thinking that a nice Christmas gift for the wife would be a get-a-way at one of the nicer Oceanfront Myrtle Beach Resorts come summer. We are expecting a nice tax refund check this up and coming spring, and I can’t think of a better way to spend it than the two of us spending a long weekend at Myrtle Beach, soaking up the sun on the beach and on the golf course. Many of the Myrtle Beach Resorts offer golf packages that seem right nice and affordable.

We haven’t gotten away, just the two of us in so long. I think it would be a good thing for us both. I’m banking on using the Internet and Googling “Beach Resorts Myrtle Beach” and seeing what I can come up with on such short notice. With such horrible weather conditions outside today it seems that it would be a good way to spend the day looking around online.

We will see what I can come up with, maybe print off some of the information that I find and put it in an envelope and put it under the tree for her on Christmas morning. That should be a smile on her face and when she is happy, I’m happy as well!

When I was a kid, I took riding lessons using english horse tack. I wasn’t given a choice, that is what I was taught. I remember wanting to ride western, but that was not an option. At first I thought it was awkward, not having a big old horn on the saddle to hang onto, but I got used to it. After a while I found myself preferring using it. I felt as if I had better control of the horse, gripping with my knees. Seems to me that when I would ride western after that I simply felt terrible. No one ever explained to me the right way to ride western, so I always felt like I was going to fall out of the saddle – the leather was too stiff for me to grip with my knees.

How can it be that every minute seems like an eternity, yet the days and years fly by like the blink of an eye? Perhaps it is because we take on more tasks to do than we have time, and you are so busy trying to keep on top of everything that even though you long to rest your weary head, you keep going as fast and as hard as you can go. Realizing that if you fall behind in your chores that there will be the dickens to pay. How did we allow ourselves to get into this situation? Life has turned into a juggling act, and dropping a ball is not an option anymore.  The holidays are approaching and we are not ready for them. Now is the time to shift into high gear, but the truth is that all I really want to do is go to bed and pull the covers over my head. Decorating the lawn will be left undone this year. I need to slow down and eliminate some of the items on my list. I think a low-key holiday season is in order.

Have you ever heard of a website called Moolala.com? Me neither, until a friend of mine sent me a message about how one of the agencies that she does business with (Triangle Direct) had done a deal with Moolala that they would provide matching funds for every coupon sold to raise money to stop child trafficking. It does my heart good to hear of companies trying to do the socially responsible thing. Kudos to both Moolala and Triangle Direct!

Over the past couple of months I’ve noticed more and more people on Facebook posting comments that appear to be political rabble-rousing. When I was younger I really never realized just how dirty and nasty people would get over politics! What astonishes me about this on Facebook is the fact that these people are supposedly “friends” with each other but they are slinging lies around like crazy. It makes me wonder if these people are just trying to upset other people because they think it is fun to upset other people, or if they really believe the lies that they are repeating. Are these folks really that ignorant? It scares me to think that these people might actually vote!
