Take our Quiz Question Here!
Dear
Friends and Family,
We are
officially one month down in 2012. Now only eleven more to go. We can do it,
right? January passed by in a blurry whirl, and I am a little bewildered to
find that February is already here. No longer is it the new year, but the
gently used year. I still don't understand just how time works. I mean yes, I
know that it goes by...but why is it that when you are looking forward to
something is seems forever away, and then when you get it, everything passes so
by so quickly that before you know it, it's all over. Maybe you guys have the
answer, but I know I certainly don't.
For
instance, my birthday celebration is long gone, although I feel like I had been
expecting and expecting it, and then it happened, and it was great, but now all
of a sudden it's not even the same month. However, despite the time elapse, all
the evidence of it, the gifts and balloons and cards, heck, even my last piece
of cake, still lurk around my house, waiting for me to put them away. Personally,
I just wish they would put themselves away. It hasn't happened yet, so I might
just have to give up on that dream. Such lazy gift bags these days. All they do
is lie around and take up precious floor space and block drawers I need to get
into. Oh wait. Maybe that's my own fault. Woops.
I remind
you that my house is quite small, and after all of these holidays she has
definitely gained some Christmas and birthday weight, or, as they say it on the
streets, she's got too much junk in her trunk (bedroom, actually, but you get
the gist, right?) Needless to say, I am in the process of trying to store all
the lovely gifts I have received into
any nook or cranny that I can discover. I guess I really have no room to
complain, it sounds pretty silly to have issues with getting too many gifts.
It's definitely not a problem. I assure you. Or, if it is, it is a very good
problem to have. But seriously, I totally wish that Mary Poppin's carpet bag
existed in real life and that I owned it. That lady is luckier than she knows.
She probably isn't even using that thing to full capacity. She is hogging all
the precious magic carpet bag space!
If only
I had it I would show that carpet bag just how magical it actually is. It would
be amazing. Just think of it! All of my stuff would fit into one very space
saving bag. Ahhh...what a dream. Those vacuum sealed space bags would be a joke
compared to my magic carpet bag. Sorry, Mary, I am officially stealing it from
you. I guess though, the only issue with a suitcase with supposedly infinite
space is that it would probably be really hard to find stuff. It would be the
world's biggest and most annoying purse (all you females reading this right now
I am sure understand me. Why is it that no matter how small or organized your
purse is, you can never find what you need?) Shoot, now this carpet bag is
starting to sound less appealing. If it takes me an hour to find everything
that I need, that may just turn my dream into a nightmare. For now, I will just
have to stick with reality. No more magic carpet bag for me. The reality is
that all I have is a suitcase with one busted zipper and a very finite and very
dusty Rubbermaid container under my bed. I guess that will have to do.
Oh and
before I forget to tell all of you, Happy early Valentine's Day! I wouldn't
dare forget to wish my dear readers lots
of love in honor of the nationally recognized holiday of love! I hope it is a
wonderful day for you all. As for myself, it will just be a fairly normal day.
As I am still living in single town, and have neither a significant other, nor
am still a child, Valentine's Day this year will just be...Tuesday. I might
wear pink or red or something, but that's probably all I will do. I still
maintain that Valentine's Day is awesome when you are a kid. Personally, I
always loved getting those little Power Ranger and Winnie the Pooh valentines
from all of my friends. Now I don't get any valentines. I could buy my own, but
I think that would be just a little weird. I guess though, now that I'm an
adult, I do get better things overall, like pay checks. Yes, getting paychecks
is really way more awesome than getting valentines from all my school friends.
The only way my paychecks could be more awesome (besides them being bigger) is
if, like my childhood valentines, they had pictures of the Power Rangers or the
Transformers or Batman on all my pay stubs telling me "You did a great
job!" or "Keep up the good work!" Now that would be truly epic...UCLA
Human Resources, please take note. I'm just saying, a good job from Optimus
Prime would really motivate me is all I'm saying. I just think it would be nice
to be recognized by the most elite member of a band of crime fighting
robot-aliens. Am I right? I don't think anyone can argue with that.
However,
now it is my time to go, and so again, on behalf of LS Real Estate, I wish you
all a wonderful February and a love-filled Valentine's Day. I know I'm not
Optimus Prime or Batman, but I hope it's good enough just coming from me.
You'll hear from me again in March! So until then, I am...

Suitcase says, "Joy keeps going on and on about how cool Mary Poppin's
carpet bag is, but look at me. For goodness sake, I have arms, legs, and a
face! I am way more magical than that old thing."
