rudolph ain't got nothin on me

hey guys! i am trying to be cheerful today when all i really want to do is nap so i busted out my rudolph light-up nose that i won from the family christmas snatch at turkey time! (it is cold and raining and the perfect hibernation weather!!)

here are some things i am looking forward to:
  • having the week between christmas and new years off (company policy baby!)
  • not traveling for christmas
  • spending christmas with karl's parents and kim and sean and the boys (we haven't had christmas in LR in awhile!)
  • leah and blue's annual christmas party this saturday (i am going to make stuffed mushrooms again. both veggie-tarian style (read: MORE cream cheese!) and meat lover style (read: MORE cream cheese sprinkled with bacon!)
  • wearing a tacky christmas sweater to the party AND possibly to work next week sometime (who is with me?!)
  • smelling our real live xmas tree (yea it is half decorated. the lights are on. it smells delish. MOST of the ornaments are on. it has no star. it is shedding minimal needles. yum yum yum.)
  • the sheer number of time i use parenthesis in a post (what? i like them!)
  • ANTM finale is tonight and, despite this cycle being incredibly lame (sauce), i still have a shot at winning our fantasy league.

things i am cranky about:
  • bobby petrino leaves the atlanta falcons (mid-season!) to join the arkansas razorbacks as head coach. it is not so much that i am CRANKY about that specifically i am just TIRED OF HEARING ABOUT IT! (bringing it up helps, right?!)
  • counting down the days until 12/21 (last day before the holiday!) is driving me nutso. yep, nutso. can it please be that day please?
  • all my friends in tulsa who have no power and will "hopefully get it back before christmas "... yikes. please don't start fires in your homes. that is very risky.
  • the rain, rain. i like the rain. maybe this should go on the happy list.
ok i am going to figure out what my husband is feeding me for dinner. goodnight ya'll. ;)

I don't know what the weather is like there but it's like 75 here which makes it hard to get into the Christmas spirit! I give you much credit for trying so hard...perhaps I should too. Love the nose.

oh yeah i'm glad you are trying to get into the christmas spirit this year! christmas is for cool people.

Mmmm. Stuffed mushrooms. Your's are the best. A+ for the christmas effort you mentioned. Maybe you're starting to like this time of year after all??
Also, I agree on ANTM...total snooze. Very disappointing and blah.
