am i the only person who has never heard this very very funny and cute song? here’s a link to one of the many videos of the song on you tube. i’m glad i don’t watch you tube because i feel that if i did, that’s probably about all i’d do.

I WANT A HIPPOPOTAMUS FOR CHRISTMAS!

i heard it this morning while doing xmas stuff. CHRISTMAS IS ALMOST HERE.

today i went to lunch with randy who said “so your site is shut down now, huh?” and i just growled at him YES.

because i haven’t even had time to sit down. and it’s ALMOST HERE.

one problem is that i didn’t start shopping early enough. and then i thought i was done, but i wasn’t.

and every time i go to a store i end up buying stuff for myself as well as gifts for others.

plus of course i’m obsessed with BAKING MANY COOKIES. i’ve made nine kinds now, but i want to make four more but i’m GETTING SICK OF MAKING COOKIES.

i need to stir the cookies with my right hand instead of my left because i’ve developed some very major pain in my left hand, which is VERY BAD WHEN GIVING MASSAGES.

but when i try to use my right hand it makes me feel retarded.

i’m VERY VERY EXCITED about a few of the gifts i’m giving.

tonight i dragged out all of the gifts i’m getting kevin and it dawned on me that there is definitely something very odd about the assortment of many things. i can’t tell you what this is now, of course, because i’m sure he’ll be reading this before xmas.

WHICH IS COMING RIGHT UP, BY THE WAY.

this morning i bought some christmas stamps, hopeful that we’ll send out a few cards.

with all my free time.

COMING RIGHT UP.

i shouldn’t even be sitting here now, i should be HARD AT WORK.

yesterday morning i woke up early and started obsessing about everything negative i could think of, which is certainly a healthy way to start your day. i then fell asleep and when i woke up again i had been dreaming about winning a million dollars in the lottery, and what i’d do with the money. i was trying to add it all up in my head – i’d buy crazy big expensive gifts for people, and i woke up as i tried to calculate how much money i could spend.

it was nice to finally wake up thinking about that instead of the usual EVERYTHING IS BAD AND I’D BETTER START WORRYING RIGHT NOW craziness that is stuck in my brain.

i have at least one picture from the nutracker, but they haven’t been downloaded yet and maybe i’ll post them by march.

or maybe april.

WATCH THAT VIDEO, if you haven’t already! i promise it’ll make you laugh.

ok ok ok,

monday night grace
