I'm hot. I'm glad that I decided to check the weather before going to church. I was about to put on my suit then I checked and its a cool 77 degrees. I opted for the khakis and a short sleeved shirt. I think I might wear sandals to church. I'm not sure yet. I hope you all have a Merry Christmas.

Time keeps on slippin, slippin, slippin
So I opened my mail box today and found a magazine inside. It was an issue of Flying. I'm a little confused. As much as I'd like to know the "top 10 expert IFR safty tips" just in case I was sitting in coach and the stewardess screams out, "does anyone know how to fly a plane?" I wonder why I would need to know them know since I do not fly. This magazine showed up with my name printed on in, a lot of info blacked out, and my address on a sticker over it. I checked the site. Subscriptions cost money. There is a price of $4.99 on the cover. How did this come to my house???? It's a Mystery!
On another note, I went shopping today and realized that I have a sentiment of entitlement. The bill came to 71 bucks and I thought, "this is ridiculous!" I know food costs money. I know I bought more than usual. Yet, I still felt as If it were owed to me that I get all the food I want at a good price. I know i shouldn't feel entitled to good cheap food. I should just feel lucky that safe food is readily available and that I can afford to purchase it. It is strange how when we regularly receive something, we start to think it is owed us, when in reality, nothing really is.

You strange to us that's when we gettin dangerous!
So first off, yes, I took the above picture this very day. So if you were planning to visit me this year, you will not be able to feed or molest the gators.
That said, I've been livin' pretty dangerous lately. I am not sure why, but I've done some pretty stupid out-of-the-ordinary things. The first was that I had an egg thrown on my car on Halloween. I knew it was going to ruin my paint, yet I did nothing for three weeks. Yup my paint was ruined. Second, my car suddenly started making jubbly noises. I turned off the car and went and immediately checked the oil. The dipstick didn't have any oil on it except some pasty tary stuff on the bottom. Yup I knew it was a problem. It had been about 9000 miles since the last oil change, but I just couldn't bring myself to get an oil change, knowing full well it could ruin my car.
Luckily, after the oil change and some wonderful special additives, my car is now running normal. I just realize that my back pain must be really brining me down if I can't even take care of basic things. Now my back actually feels a lot better than it has in years. I think it might be the business of the schedule as well. I love my life right now and can only think of a couple ways in which it could be better. I just wish I knew what is off so much that I would do such stupid things.
