- The dog is snoring.
- I just helped make an Egyptian pyramid out of those long, skinny wafer cookies with K.
- Russ Taft is singing White Christmas.
- Everyone else is downstairs trying to advance to the next level of E.'s new Lego Star Wars 2 game on the Game Cube.
- Lots going on these days, eh? And we're not even busy with major Christmas productions and parties... still, with three birthdays in the six weeks before Christmas, and a trip in the works to see extended family, I'm feeling the crunch.
- Gotta finish my application for Tejan... like, yesterday.
- Am I going to start baking, ever?
- The kids only have 5 more days of school before Christmas break... agh!
- Rainy, rainy, rainy outside. Lots of slushy, melty snow. Yech.
- Went to a local church's christmas program last night... smarmy is the best word I can come up with to describe it. It was well done, but oh, so smarmy.
- I love that word smarmy.
- And glom.
- As in, "I held a baby in church this morning who immediately glommed onto my necklace and wouldn't let go."
- Considering a change of Christmas tree decorations for my big tree next year. Gotta think about that now so I can take advantage of those big after Christmas markdowns.
- We put colored lights on the kids' tree this year - it's been years since I had colored lights on any tree. They're so pretty.
- The holiday season is a great season for me in terms of my job... lots and lots of people making gift projects = lots and lots of class fees. I'm rollin' in it right now.
- I LOVE candles.
- I've been wanting to go to a movie lately... I can't remember the last time I saw a movie in the theatre. I want to see that new one with Cameron Diaz... The Holiday? I think that's what it's called.
- We'll be traveling on Christmas Eve this year, coming home from our extended family Christmas. Christmas Eve is K.'s birthday. We decided instead of driving all the way home on his birthday, we're going to stay at a really nice hotel and do the pool and room service and watch a movie... everyone's excited about it. We'll drive home on Christmas Day and then do our family Christmas when we get home. It's going to be different, but fun, I think.
- Okay. That's all.
It's been months since I've had a "Getting to Know You Wednesday." Life's been a little crazy. So today, when life is a little bit calm and I've got the least chaotic week I've had for ages, I thought I'd jump back in. So today, if you leave me a comment telling me your most favorite-ist movie line ever, I'll enter you in a drawing for your very own copy of Josh Groban's new Christmas CD - Noel . It's a good one, folks. Classic holiday music from such a wonderful vocalist... you'll like it, I promise. I just want one movie line. Not your three favorite... not a paragraph. Just one line. The one you find yourself repeating. The one that makes you laugh every time. Your very favorite movie line of all time. And if you're the first person to name the movie my title is from, you'll get an extra entry in the drawing. Now, let's hear it.
Sign me up, Cathy; I'll go to that movie with you!

I forgot all about glom...
ReplyDeleteBut it brought back memories. I remember just not even trying to wear necklaces when my babies were all little and then in later years would forget when we went somewhere where there were babies and sure enough the earrings or necklaces was the first thing they went for. About lost some ear lobes.
Smarmy is a wonderful word!
ReplyDeleteme love candles too
