November is the cruelest month. I don'tcare what anyone says. All the leaves are gone, the days are short, the weather is annoying. It's a cranky making month. But it never lasts long. There's too much to do. I've taken a big bite out of my Christmas shopping this week. The stores are getting busy already. I've done more online shopping this year than others as well. I'd just like to enjoy December without having to deal with all that craziness.

That picture is hilarious!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed Margaret Atwood's interview answers of very short questions. Wouldn't it be fun to have dinner with her?
Personally I think February is the cruelest month. That or March; maybe it's a tie.
ReplyDeleteoh my gosh that's the cutest picture ever!!!!!
ReplyDeleteMarch is the cruelest month, IMO. Nothing good ever happens for me during that month. November is all about the anticipation of the holidays. And I can still have out all of my fall decorations.
ReplyDeleteOMG that picture is so funny! Now that I'm living in south TX, November has been disconcertingly warm, but it is also overcast. When I was living in Colorado and Illinois, I thought February was the cruelest month!
