halloween is over. it's time for christmas preparation. even my teachers commented today that it was like doing a sharp 180. i was all bats and ghosts on friday and now i'm all "let's sing christmas carols!" and "have you ever tasted a candy cane?" oy. i need to find a good recipe for gingerbread men. and apple pastry of somr sort. went to a neighbor's to apple-pick on saturday. they tried to give me some. like 10. i tried to take only 2-3, saying that i'm only one person, and one person who can't eat a lot of apples. then they laughed and said use them to decorate your house until you decided to eat them.
people just don't understand. if i want an apple, i'll go out and buy *an* apple. one. singular. don't try to convince me that i love apples. i've never loved apples. they're something that i put up with because people simply insist on giving them to me. and they're good for me so i don't decline. but i don't really like apples. i like a slice of apple. i like apple in my salad. but an entire apple in daunting. especially since one japanese apple is the size of 2 american apples. oy. i appreciate the sentiment , though. it's too bad, though, that half of them will end up going bad. i'll do my best though. why can't somebody around here grow blueberries? or kiwi. i could go for a half-dozen kiwi. criminy. gotta go find a recipe for apple stuff now...
wait! i just remembered that i asked for an was given my vacation time for christmas! the whole time! so i can spend it with Guy F! go me! go me!
life is good. and apple-flavored.
