My 2nd Christmas Commercial 2025

Today, I watched the Hallmark Channel as my Mom went to get her hair done. There’s something going on with my eyes that’s kind of scaring me a little bit. On Wednesday, I go to my optometrist and get a different kind of contact lenses.

My Accessibility remote control is not fully synced to my TV so I not really use it. My mom just put the Hallmark Channel on because it’s Christmas time. I saw a few commercials though! Here is my second one!:

Denny’s reminds me of going to Texas when I was seven with my family. I haven’t seen those Christmas movies in forever! Too bad we can’t get them now because they aren’t available without subscriptions to stream.

Rando Tune #75

This song started playing after my chosen Sara Bareilles song finished and I am driving to work on Dix and I’ve stopped at the stoplight to turn onto Goldsmith to my school. It was a cold, snowy, winter day that I decided that I really liked this song! I was younger than 34. I can’t forget that moment! This was back when I thought that I would get married someday:

Rando Tune #74

I heard this song on Apple Music:

This is one of the last times that I could belt this song out!!! Sean was with his dad and I was doing laundry. Sean was due home and I had left my front door open of our second apartment because I was busy.

I remember when Sean opened the door with his dad right behind him and I was belting this song out full-force and I wasn’t even embarrassed to be caught! I haven’t thought about that day in a long time… I miss being able to sing… A LOT!!! #ItSucksToSuck #MSsucks!!! 😒😒😒…

Nostalgic OR Disgusting

I have talked about my time working at 7-Eleven in the summer between high school and college. 7-Eleven is a disgusting job!!! I just wanted it because it’s fun to go to 7-Eleven and get Slurpee’s. But it’s definitely NOT fun cleaning up after people getting Slurpee’s because they make a mess!!! I didn’t know that BEGORE I started working there and I didn’t know how ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING it would be making 40 parts of coffee at 6 o’clock in the morning when you are hung over after a friend’s graduation party!

Something I haven’t written about but I have been thinking about it and I have to talk about is this:

I remember when I was working there and a sales rep came in for a meeting with the woman who owned the store. She had a franchise. He put a box of cow tails on the register’s counter:

Cow Tales had just come out or something, it was the summer of 2000 right when matchbox 20s Bent CD came out!

A little girl came in, probably about seven or eight years old and she got her own small Slurpee. She was so proud of herself and she put a fistful of change on the counter. It was one of those moments when 7-Rleven gets really busy. So there was a long line behind her.

She glanced at the line and began to whimper. I calmed her down by saying “It’s all right, honey.” and I counted it out the change and slid the money for the Slurpee toward the register and the leftover money I slid to her and told her to put it in her pocket. She took the change and put it in your pocket and smiled at me and I told her to have a good day and to enjoy her Slurpee!

My Mom just had her birthday and she was given Cow Tales she wasn’t a fan. I told her that I will take them! They are sitting on the desk under my TV and today I had two of them.

My Mom told me they were disgusting and I corrected her by saying that they are nostalgic because I thought of that little girl the whole time I ate them! I recounted that story to Sean today and he said, “That’s a great story, Mom, but they are disgusting!”

I told my Mom and Sean that they are STILL nostalgic for me! I only have a few more left to eat but I’m not sure that I will buy them again.

“Endurance is Key!!!”

I had forgotten what it feels like to have snow on the ground. Waking up today was horrible! I was kind of awake at about 6 o’clock and I didn’t feel good, when my Mom changed the wedge, she told me that it was snowing.

I struggled for a while longer. I tried putting prayers on to get back to sleep, but I couldn’t. My whole body felt horrible, and I have never felt this way in my entire life!!!

As I continued to struggle to wake up, I was so grateful that I got my Thanksgiving cards out yesterday because it’s winter weather now! When my Mom finally came into my room, I sat up fully in my bed and started to put my feet down as tears were freely streaming out of both eyes hand down both of my cheeks.

I looked at my Mom in desperation, and just said through tears, “Endurance is key!” that’s why I reposted that old post that I had written in 2014. I remember writing that one. And it was the first time that I began to cry as I wrote it. Ms. Harden had just come into my room and she was completely alarmed at my tears, but I quickly wiped them away and shook my head because I assured her that it’s nothing like that.

I have been thinking about that post for a while and I remember writing it and I remember being in my classroom as I wrote it. I have been thinking that endurance is the key for a while! I feel that my disease is spiraling, but I’m catching it at everyturn! It’s tiring and it hurts.

Next week, Liz is calling about my contacts and I need to order another supplement from Dr. Clark’s office tomorrow. Endurance is key even in this weather.

Rando Tune #73

I’ve been hearing this song for a while, and I finally found out who sang it and what it’s called. I remember when Demi Lovato starred in Sonny with a Chance on Nickelodeon. I thought her smile was great! She was probably on drugs even back then! I heard a DJ was reviewing a CD that she had just released when I was still teaching at CCA. He said that it is the worst CD ever! I kinda dig some of her songs! I know I’m cheesy!!!

Kind of Scaring Me a Little Bit…

For some reason, this year, I am completely taken with the Rockefeller Center Christmas tree. That is never mattered to me! I things are different for me now staring so close to my 25th anniversary.

I saw this reel on Facebook and I have cried each and every time I have seen it! I don’t understand that!

I thought about it as a pillaged today and I think that it is starting to get serious now and it’s kind of scaring me a little bit…

My 1st Christmas Commercial 2025

I saw my first homework Christmas movie this past week so I saw my first Christmas commercial!!! My best friend Ami loves to Lego so I figured that it was fitting:

I thought that it was a little bit cheesy, but it was my first Christmas commercial of 2025!

I was watching this movie:

We have seen this movie before, but my Mom laid down and I wanted to see what it was called so I used the guide to see what it was called. But then I didn’t know how to get it back to the movie because I no longer can see anything on my remote control and we are having difficulty fully activating my Accessibility remote control. It’s a little bit frustrating! I just turned it off and I’m sure I will see it again sometime this season.
