Who Needs The Sun

Howdy! Did you miss me? Aw shucks, don’t you know how to make a girl feel special?

Okay, so here’s the thing – my goal is to write at least three posts a week. Things, however, come up; life gets crazy; and therefore, three posts a week may not always be possible. If I write at least two posts, then it’s been a “pat on the back” week. If I actually make it to three posts, well then I get a gold star. Just between you and me… I’m aiming for a “gold star” week (haven’t gotten one of those in a while). Any who, on to my post:

Last week, my mom came back from a Caribbean cruise. This week, my sister is vacationing in Hawaii. And where am I? I’m stuck in New York City with a windshield factor that makes it feel like it’s below twenty degrees! I ask you, “How is this fair?”



“Well Kas, why don’t you just go on a vacation?” Simple – because I’m poor. Okay, no. Well, yes, but no. The truth is that I’m saving. I don’t exactly know what I’m saving for, but for some reason, I just feel compelled to do it. Saying that I’m saving makes me feel responsible and very much like an adult.

No one in particular: Man, I just blew my whole pay check!
Me: Oh, really? Well, I’m saving (gloats inwardly).
No one in particular: I should start doing that.
Me: Yeah, you should (gloats outwardly).

By the way, another reason I won’t go on a vacation is that everything is just too expensive now. You would think that with less people shopping and more people losing their jobs, things all around would be getting cheaper. You can’t expect consumers to consume things they can’t afford. What kind of ass backwards world is this?



Wait… what was I talking about? Oh, yes… I’m freezing my toes off, while my sister is soaking up the sun. I’m getting blown down the street by gusting winds, while my sister is enjoying a nice, tropical breeze. Yeah, I’m bitter – so what?
