Holy cow...seriously...random things make my eyes well up and my throat close. They aren't particularly sad things either, take for instance this story from CBS News Sunday morning talking about a group of families who have synched their light displays. Why would I get teary eyed??!?! Oh I don't know, maybe because it's people getting together and showing Christmas spirit. Not to mention that most of these displays raise money or food for charity.
The various works of charity that get me all misty.
I helped serve dinner at a homeless shelter last week -- helping out at a charity thrift shop this week. God! I'm just so grateful for what I have. And I feel like such a faker sometimes. A lot of times I just want to hole up at home and do my own thing. Then I participate in spite of myself and I feel like a jerk for not wanting to. I was terrible, all I could think of at the shelter was that we were going past the time we said the function would end I wanted to drive to B&N to get my next installment of Laurell K. Hamilton. While I was at B&N I run over to another favorite store of mine, Cost Plus, and buy (on the cheap) a present for someone I don't like.
ROFL and I'm 14 kinds of bitch because I decided not to give the present to the person I don't like (a co-worker who is an idiot) and gave it to the secretary who helps everyone out (especially me last year - long story). Anyhoo....my thought process has derailed, I'll come up with more later.
