NaBloPoMo – Day Twenty-five
MY ELVIS STAMP by me (11:26pm 01-10-94 Mon.)
Look! I have an Elvis Stamp! Mom would say, “Wow. Big deal…” Dad would say, “Gee, I wish he would come out with a new album.” As you can see they are polarized. I’m kinda in the middle – I like lots of his songs, but I do think he is dead and I don’t go overboard. I’m glad they voted for this “young Elvis” stamp over the “old Elvis” stamp. Anyway, here it is:[see photo below]
Mom put this on one of her letters to me with some comment about the wonderful “Christmas stamps” Dad got for her. Hmm…thems be fighten’ words!

The above entry is from page 249 of my old journal. It’s ironic that it’s the next one in line on my “NaBloPoMo schedule” because I spent a good portion of the day, yesterday, doing holiday related things: We went on a shopping spree and completed our “gifts to be purchased and mailed” list! We got the Christmas Tree partially decorated (and I have a feeling with two kitties and toddler in the house it will always be partially decorated.) 
And, then I spent a while addressing 100 envelopes, printing our Holiday Letter, and stuffing the envelopes with our Holiday Photo Card! My goal is to get them done and out the door by Monday! Of course, I was sure to not neglect my band-duties as lead singer…it’s been a busy weekend!
As I mentioned before, some people on our Holiday Card List will get a “holiday” stamp (Sadly, these stamps are not as cool as the Elvis one, above.), and some will get a silver holiday bell that looks oddly like the Liberty Bell.
