I've been a "Debbie Downer" lately. I suspect it's from a combination of losing Kwyjibo, being short staffed at work, a change in birth control pills, continuing to experience daily nerve pain etc. etc. Don't get me wrong, I know full well that I have TONS going for me, like a loving husband, a job, a new pup, and so much more. But that's just not how bouts of depression work. You could have absolutely nothing to complain about and still feel down in the dumps.
So, as a big believer in "choosing your 'tude" and with the inspiration of Facebook ;) I've decided to take that 30 Days of Thankful thing and turn it into a more self serving idea of 31 Days of Holiday Cheer(ing) up. Basically my goal is to post something, anything, even if it's materialistic or vain, that brings me cheer. Yep, me. The Debbie Downer in me is saying no way will I keep up with it but whatever. No one cares anyway, right? I kid, I kid.
So already a day late I bring you Day 1 of 31 Days of Holiday Cheer(ing) Up:
Thursday, December 1: Bobby and I saw Wilco for the second night in a row at the Moody Theater and the show was amazing. It was one of those leave you on a high for the rest of the week shows. The night before we got to attend their Austin City Limits taping and it was an experience I won't forget. Five rows back seated on the floor! For those of you who don't know how it works, you can't buy tickets for tapings. Well, you can donate lots of money, but you can't just buy a ticket. I randomly got an email from Kung Foo Records on a super shitty day telling me that since I had recently made purchases from the Wilco store that I was getting tickets for the taping. Yay! And then two days before the show Bobby found out that he won taping tickets from a radio station. We took a couple of friends with us and had a wonderful time.
