'Tis the Season...

I'm kind of looking forward to the cold weather. I love putting on my boots and wearing layers of clothes and hording scarves and hats. It's so much fun when you have winter wardrobe. Tres chic in some places...I hear Dallas is cold and I should have sweaters...I am excited about dressing for winter. In L.A., it could be cold as heck and I'd still wear flip flops. I must be nuts, but it's true. I need to re-train myself to separate clothes for each season so I won't freeze to death. If I don't, I'd most likely wear summer gear all year 'round. I'm trying to figure out when that lack of winter wardrobe started for me, shucks, I can't remember....come to think of it, there are a lot of things I can't recall.Just yesterday my sisters and I were talking about people we knew years ago and my mind went blank. Who are you talking about? I say. Since my car accident, my memory loss is greater than I thought and it can be frustrating because I've forgotten huge patches of my life--It's SO bizarre. I don't even remember the person I used to be at times and it's a little frightening...even my taste in food and drinks have changed and my family has commented on it. The things I loved I no longer love and the things I used to hate, I totally love. I hope these pieces of my life come back to me because it's almost like a bit of amnesia. Let me just say, if I've met you before and you run into me again, please don't take offense if I can't remember who you are. Faces are hazy, and forget about me remembering names. The only way I can remember is by repetition and focusing on photographs, reciting names of people and associating people to events. Now, I'm not saying I'm totally forgetful, but I do have my lapses. Having short-term memory sucks.
That's why I'm thankful for writing. If I don't do it regularly, I'll never be able to consistently perform as a writer. It took me years to get pieces of proverbs and such straight in my head, and even then, I get them all wrong. :) Hence, my friends are good at laughing at me. Oh yea, I like to create words whenever I forget something...they call it Jaxisms. Hey, it sounds good to me.
What am I doing? Just rambling. I've had too much coffee and I'm a bit wired. I think the combo of cold meds and caffeine gives you a boost of energy...I'm sure I'll feel lousy tomorrow but at least I managed to avoid a serious flu that's been floating around in my household. Whew! Okay, now I need to decide what kind of laptop mini I want for Christmas. Anyone have suggestions? I'm favoring the Dell Mini 9 at the moment and it comes in RED...! Ubuntu Linux or Microsoft XP home? I'm partial to Ubuntu myself and I love OpenOffice..Freeware is always a good thing. Do you own one of those Netbooks or mini laptops? Let me know what you think of yours. I want to be able to get this present on time...but the longer I wait on a decision..Dell Mini, Acer Aspire, MSI, etc..I might not receive my gift until well after Christmas which would be no fun!
