It's Beginning to Feel A Lot Like Christmas

Less than a month and the countdown begins around my house. We always try to put our tree up the first weekend in December; we decided that this weekend is close enough. Now I'm going to have to locate and dig out all of the decorations. Argh!

Christmas planning starts now, baking starts now and the serious present buying starts now too. I always have good intentions to have it all finished by now but... realistically I'm always just getting started. I have a few ideas and thankfully none of them are included in this list...

Twilight

I'm stuck at home on the couch today with my box of kleenex and a sinus infection. My body doesn't feel capable of much and being alone in the house provided me with the opportunity to finally watch Twilight. I've never really seen the appeal. I wanted to read the books just to see what the hype was about, and while I still can't speak for the story in the books, I can finally see why there is this obsession with Edward Cullen.

Twilight is crack-cocaine-porn for women.

Watching the on-screen interaction between Edward and Bella left me breathless more than once. Is that what we want as women? Is it the utterly passionate longing that makes us go weak in the knees? Girls long to experience it, and women want to experience it again.

Dear god.

Dear god.

Lordy!

Well, if you've been looking for me and my stories, we're still here. I've been having a hell of a time kicking this cold/flu and haven't had the energy or ambition to sit down and post as often as I should have been. Look forward to posts about Alek's birthday, Halloween and my birthday in the upcoming future.

Hmm, I just realized that I have been sick for well over a month now and my cough has just come back stronger and more hateful than before.

I despise being sick. I think Jose and I just might sit down tonight and try a new remedy. I'm going to try and drown it.

H1N1

Well, if you are looking for me tonight, I will be the one with two little boys (one will be crying and one will be screaming) waiting for their shots at Prairieland Park. I've decided to go ahead and get them vaccinated. So far the flu shot has gone against all of my beliefs, but I am in a process of re-evaluation...

I'm a mom with mixed feelings.

Regretsy

Now here is a site that I definately don't Regretsy going to! Check it out; it's so funny.

Now, don't get me wrong, I love Etsy (seen as even I have a shop there) but now I have proof that I'm not alone in thinking that some of the items listed on there are CRAZY!

When you feel in the need of a good laugh... Regretsy!

Adam

Here's a movie that I'm going to see; I think that everyone else should too.

The trailer makes me happy that Alek is so high-functioning, but the quirks that the man has seem oh so familiar.

This drunk guy is a genius! A genius I say.
