This Week…It’s That Time Again!

This Week…It’s That Time Again!

 

Pack up your pumpkins and get ready!!! Halloween was just the beginning of the time of year when we feel rushed, frazzled, and under pressure (self-imposed) to make everything just right…otherwise known as the HOLIDAYS!


How did it get so late so soon?

 Dr. Seuss

 

The leftover candy is already out of the house, given to my niece for her students. I did manage to hide a few of Larry’s favorite pieces for his cravings down the road. 


They always say time changes things, but you actually have to change them yourself.

Andy Warhol



Hang in there because in just a few more days, all of the “stuff” we’ve had to listen to for what seems like the last 4 years, will hopefully come to a brief end… until it starts up again. 

Don’t waste your time in anger, regrets, worries, and grudges. Life is too short to be unhappy.

 Roy T. Bennett



Better yet…by ear plugs, read a book, or watch Netflix.

 

Books have a unique way of stopping time in a particular moment and saying: Let’s not forget this.

 Dave Eggers


OK…this is the weekend I dread twice a year…doing a time fake. I mean is it really 5 PM or 4 PM…or could it be 6 PM?  My poor dog could never get it right!  “Why won’t you feed me now, mom. My stomach says it’s time to eat!”

 

Don't worry about the world coming to an end today. It is already tomorrow in Australia.
Charles M. Schulz




Since most of our time pieces exist in the digital world, we rarely have to turn our clocks forward or backward. Cyberspace does it for you. 

However there are a few clocks you will have to adjust. So here is your reminder….

 

Don’t forget to FALL BACK Saturday night. 

 

Then ask yourself…WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO WITH YOUR EXTRA HOUR???

 

Happy 1 More Hour Weekend!

Hello Kathy - the Charles M Schulz quote in your post is a longtime favorite of mine as time does all sorts of things.  Seasonally and not.

Good morning Kathy. Life is indeed to short to be unhappy. That said, I am not unhappy that, if we can't find someone to take our extra candy, and believe me we haver a lot,  it will hit the trash with a smile. As for daylight savings time I would like it to go away just like political commercials which are so fake and untrue. Enjoy your day.

Wayne Martin So did you use your Plan B or did you give it away???  I am so sick of the political commercials...nothing has changed.

HI Bill Salvatore - East Valley most of our hummingbirds have flown further south. We enjoyed watching flocks of geese or whatever fly south in a V shape.

Good morning, Kathy... I can't wait to get back that hour of sleep I lost last spring! I hate DST, but if we have to have it, let's just keep it all year long.

Nina Hollander, Broker I'm not fond of this going back and forth but it is nicer for the young children going to school.

Kathy Streib, your reminder to “fall back” and embrace the extra hour is spot on! This time of year can be overwhelming, but your advice to slow down and enjoy the moment brings a smile. 🌻⏰ #ExtraHour #StayCalm #HolidaySeason

Hello Kathy, candy all gone to a teacher friend also that teachers second great.  I am not a fan of changing the clocks either.

Hi Will Hamm how were your hot dogs and chili???? Did you see that UH came back?  There's 3 seconds left but K-State is driving.

Dolores will be changing all of our clocks. 

I like your quote selections. It will be nice to see the end of the political advertisements for a while.

Kathy, never bought any candy, so none leftover.  CANNOT wait for the ads to stop, and all the hoopla/hate/divide is over too.    Extra hour of sleep - OH YEAH!

Kathy we handed out a bunch of candy, but still ended up with lots of candy.

HI Kathy I for one an so looking forward to this holiday season!  No stress, no pressure just a lot of good times with family and friends.  And no time change for us!  All I need to do now is remember when the zoom meeting is - 12 my time!

Nov 02, 2024 01:51 PM

Hi Anna "Banana" Kruchten I already have some gifts purchased. These days it's pretty much gifts for the children.

Anna "Banana" Kruchten

Wow you're way ahead of me Kathy!  I haven't even thought about gifts yet!  We don't do a lot of gifts like we used to years ago.  Everybody has whatever they want pretty much.  But it is fun to pick up something when I see it and the light bulb goes on - Oh I know she'd love this! You know what I mean ❤️  But guess what, I do that all year round!

Kathy Streib  I can not stand the time change either, what really annoys me is that we voted on it a few years ago to be like the only state in the country.... but go figure the politicians still have not implemented it..... it takes me almost a week to make the adjustment to my body clock.... then add to that the animal farm, the two cats and the dog do not understand why breakfast is late as well as lunch and dinner.... after all they have built in Rolexes in their bodies....Endre

Normally, it doesn't affect me very much since we don't change in Arizona, but since I am in Philly right now and headed to DC later, I will have to make a change, haha.  I think my phone does it for me though, so that is good!

The time change has hit me really hard since I am still trying to adjust to coming back from our trip!  I woke up the first day at 4:15 - it is only getting better by a half hour each day!   

what a great quote this is - 

Don't worry about the world coming to an end today. It is already tomorrow in Australia.

Hi Kathy,
Every time we have a time change, there is discussion of ending it, but it never happens. I don't really care one way or the other, but it is a bit of an inconvenience for many.
