it is one of those cold outside the windows days where one can listen to the trees moan...but all is warm and toasty.

the surround sound stereo is up and running -- a holiday gift for the living room. (the dining room has a case of wine and the kitchen was the happy receiver of a new set of bah/hihi glasses.)

tt and i bought each other snow tires for the holidays -- strange, but romantic, yes...for what is more caring and thoughtful than the gift of keeping one's other alive? *grin*

i can feel the excitement of the new job wearing thin...more days there i have the headphones on and up. interesting to pay attention to the progression though. i suppose it wil be the same after we move (spring? early summer?) a bit of excitement in the new town, then all will loose its luster yet again. *shrug* i cannot expect my life to shock me every day...cannot expect more than the bliss that i already daily enjoy.

side note:

i find the observation interesting that some People tend to discount others without reason. i look at their lives and their situation and see friend after friend drop off into oblivion -- mainly because the friends have their own lives to take care of and therefore cannot give these People all of the attention that they so desperately need.

thusly the discount.

i have seen friends discounted and flipped off time after time, myself included. friends that have inherantly done nothing wrong (beside, perhaps being happy with their own lives and selves)...friends that may make an error or two (being humans...they are thus bound), may being the key word, and therein lies the excuse for the diss-miss.

lovely.

i do not wonder why i gravitate toward the discount rack in the store...the discounted ones are often those with the best qualities, which are looked over or returned by the fickle and faint of heart.
