Crystal's Corner News - Weekly Column that is in the local Record Newspaper every Wednesday...
By: Crystal J.A. Melanson
For the week of: December 2nd, 2009 is below:
Greetings readers, hope you all had a super week. Parrsboro's Christmas Parade was this past Friday night, and from what I've heard, the entrants and The Parrsboro and District Board of Trade did a formidable job of making this year's parade a success. The rain even let up for a time while the parade snaked through its scheduled route. Hats off to all who participated and to those who organized the event.
Unfortunately, I had to be out of town at the time (work), and even my husband who was armed with the digital camera, couldn't get near the parade (work also).
I have to send out a big: Oopsy, to the readers for my listing of events for the past couple of columns. It would seem that I had November stuck on the brain when dating certain events that, in fact, fall in December. Now how did that happen?
My birthday is in November and I didn't want the month to end so I wouldn't become a year older? I'm really trying to slow down the counting off of the days until Christmas? My calendar doesn't have a month for December?
Do you believe any of that? Hopefully not.
Actually, December is on my calendar and by the time you read this, we will all have flipped over to it. Flippantly so for some; jerkily, for others.
Really, I have no good explanation for my goof-up, outside of, it's just me. If you knew me really well, you'd know that occasionally I get stuck a month or day (sometimes more) behind. You know where your thinking all day that it's Friday and at some point during the day, someone blows your mind and informs you that it's only Thursday. Or Wednesday. Well, that's how I get from time to time with the months. I know, silly right? And, since I'm already airing out my absent-mindedness when it comes to the months of the year, I might as well take it a step further and come clean on what is going to happen at the end of next month.
The year changes. Egad. Look out then. I am notorious for staying stuck back in the previous year by a solid three months. Yup, I'll be filling out the date of the year on every form, cheque, and whatever, as 2009, until at least March of 2010. (One year, I caught myself doing this well into the month of June.)
I would like to thank all the readers, as well as my husband, for pointing out my blip, and apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. (Not that I've heard any notion to this; just helpful readers trying to keep me on track.) Thank you readers.
Darn, I just thought that I could have said that my blip was a just a test. You know - to keep you on your toes.
Oh well, maybe next time. (Trust me: there will be a next time, because as I said, I am notorious for this kind of thing. In fact, I could produce a very long list of friends who could back me up on this, if need be.)
Have a great week everyone and welcome to the month of DECEMBER.
