Christmas in July

If anyone has ever been to a 'Christmas in July' party, save a few rare exceptions, like the one my Aunt Jane put on a few years back (there, I covered myself), you probably realized that they just aren't the same, and kinda suck (not Aunt Jane's, tho!). Well, I'm living where it's Christmas in July all season long! It's just not the same. Christmas carols, lights, wreathes, Santa, 8 pound 6 ounce baby Jesus and 80ยบ weather just don't mix. It doesn't feel like Christmas down here.

Luckily, I'll be making my much anticipated return back to Flint-town for Christmas, and I hear there's plenty of snow to go around. I'll be home from Wednesday until Monday. For anyone interested, I'm trying to set something up for the day after Christmas.

Other updates are kinda boring. I'm pretty much doing the same things everyday. I'm either out flying or sitting at home watching TV and playing on the computer. I'm trying to save money these days, so I'm not really doing much with my spare time. I'll have to say, I'm really enjoying living so close to work. I went 18 days before I had to put gas in my car, which is a nice change from when I was driving between Royal Oak and Flint everyday.

My offer is still out there for anyone who wants to come down and visit. I'll pick you up at the airport. Seriously, get on the computer and check out the fares from Flint/Detroit to Orlando. It's insane the prices you can get. I suggest AirTran or Spirit. I'm flying back to Detroit on Christmas Eve (Christmas Eve!!) for 55 bucks. That's the time you usually get gouged.
