Can you say scatterbrained?

  • 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.

    I forgot all about glom...
    But 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.

It came out of the faucet that way.

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.

30,000? For real?

So, if you scroll down to the bottom of this here blog, you'll see that I'm probably just a day or two from reaching 30,000 hits. That's just freaky. And in just under 2 years. (I didn't add the counter until after I'd been blogging for several months...) So in honor of almost reaching that milestone, this weeks 'getting to know you Wednesday' question is this: What would you do if you won $30,000? I like this question, because it's not an overwhelming number, and therefore not brain-freeze inducing. It's big enough to be able to accomplish some nice little projects around the house, but not so large that you have to worry about your third cousins from the Ozarks showing up on your doorstep looking for cash so they can put veneers on their teeth. Answer my question this week and you'll be entered in a drawing for 30 special little trinkets in a lovely little goody box. (And when I say trinkets, I mean trinkets. We're talking 30 little lovelie

Are you ready for this?

How did it get to be Wednesday? Seriously. There aren't enough hours in the day - even when you're up at 2:00 am. And no - I didn't get up at 2:00 this morning. I slept all the way until 5:00! Anywho - I decided I needed something new to blog. Something to shake you all out of your 'thoughts from the deep recesses' stupor. Something to get your blood pumping and your fingers tingling. Something to inspire long and meaningful comments. From you. My beloved readers. It's a new weekly Thoughts From the Deep Recesses feature. It's "Getting to Know you Wednesday" Now this could either be lots of fun, or it could just totally flop, and I could go to bed crying because my blog readers are a bunch of takers who only come here to read and never interact. Like a piece of fresh fruit, you squeeze the juice out of my hard-written and well thought out posts and then you toss them aside, wandering on to the next blog with a simple click of your mouse.
