The original Rudolph is the only way to go

Every year, abc family channel has Christmas shows every night of the month of December.

But let me tell you, these are some pickin' obscure Christmas shows.

Having dealt with cramps all day, I managed to get up and make pancakes for the kids for dinner, then figured since all the homework was completed and the piano practicing was done, we could watch a classic, traditional Christmas show.

Tonight's show?
"Rudolph and the Island of Misfit Toys."

What a terrible excuse for Chrismas programming this show is.

It has a purple hippo, for heaven's sake.

I'm generally not a big fan of children's programming, but this is the worst ever.

I just had to pick up my laptop and complain a wee bit.

Now I'll go back, and watch the giant pink bumble bunny crying on his iceberg.

And no, I'm not kidding.

    hope you feel better soon!

So today, if I get at least 12 comments, I'll randomly pick one and send that lucky commenter any CD from Your Music . Whatever you want. So today, in light of mid-winter doldrums, I want you to answer the following three questions. To escape mid-winter doldrums, I like to: My favorite winter memory is: I know Spring is coming when: Okay, friends. Now it's your turn. Go to it.

The floodgates have opened.

So, I was doing pretty well managing my emotions. I kept telling people that I had processed a lot of my grieving over Tejan's departure back in January - when we were so close to saying goodbye... and so that must be why I wasn't feeling overly emotional about it this time around. I hadn't shed any tears. Hadn't choked up in that strange, overwhelming way where I feel like my whole head is filling up with fluid and my throat is so constricted I'm just sure I'm going to die. Nope. I was doing just fine. And then I went out to dinner with some girlfriends. And while I was a little socially inept because I'm a kind of overwhelmed and not really wanting to talk too much lately (perhaps in subconscious fear that I might touch on a nerve that would cause my aforementioned steely resolve to crumble) I thought I got through the evening fairly well.
