woooooooo... 11-29-08 09:11am EST
okay. so i dont start christmas before thanksgiving.
i'm one of those people.
give every holiday its due course.
BUT...
thanksgiving is now OVER!!!!

IT'S OFFICIALLY CHRISTMAS SEASON!!!

i LOVE christmas.
i love the ideals of the holidays.
i love peppermints. a lot.
i love lights, and decorations, and trees, and wrapping presents,
and
being an elf.
thats right, for the next several weeks,
i forgo my normal sprite status.
i put away my wings, and temporarily replace them with
red, and green, and funny shoes.

it's a good time.
fishing827dont cha know it! 
cruisingmomGotta love those curled up toe shoes...peppermint breath...lights...it is the most wonderful time of the year! 
whipsmileYAAAAYYYYAYAYAYAYAYA! Christmas Season is here!!! 
tommyswifeI am so glad your dinner went fine! I also am excited about Christmas!!! 
madtomkiddSo, do you change your four food groups to candy canes, sugar, candy corn, and syrup? (^_^) 
mockinbirdenjoy...peppermint (yum) 
scbrewerit has a lot of dents in the top... just press down with your fingers and make dimples/dents in the top before you put the garlic and cheese on top and then bake it. It looks more "authentic" you don't have to do that though :) 
mockinbirdI'm not that good 
ashleybi am the same way..i respect thanksgiving but then on friday i'm all about decorating for christmas!! 
jasonswife060305Love it!!! I love that movie ELF makes me laugh every time.

cruisingmomI knew you could, I knew you could, I knew you could...

yikes... 11-21-08 07:52am EST
its been a crazy week. its a really long story,
but i will be making thanksgiving dinner this year,
for the first time EVER.
bum bum bummmmm....

if you know how my family works,
you will understand why this is wierd.
WIERD.


in other news,
i got to talk to my friend hilary yesterday. (the one i lost that lives in oregon.)
it's sooo great to talk to her again,
but it always makes me a little sad, cuz i dont know when
i will actually get to see her.
i feel like if we lived within a state of each other,
there would have already been a road trip.
but we're on opposite sides of the country. boo.
dont get me wrong, i LOVE that we are rebuilding our friendship,
it's just the 2000 mile thing slows down an actual reunion.
i guess i will just have to convince chris to make our next vacation
to the west coast. :)
marlaRe: the books I mentioned on my blog, the cool thing is that they're actually non-fiction! The author's done a lot of research and includes a ton of historical details...but they're WRITTEN more like a novel than regular non-fiction. Very cool books :) 
mamahastingsDoes she have a sister named Olivia? 
isabeau_danjouI'm making Thanksgiving this year too! But only for about 5 people. 
whipsmilei am still laughing at you about thanksgiving.

and yes, hilary DOES have a sister named olivia. 
bigdeborahI'm all for you making a trip to the west coast...as long as it is within the next year! :) oh-I'll be in KY probably December 21-29. we still meeting up for a meal? 
madtomkiddOkay, I am surprised, but I actually know who you are talking about! (I have let pretty much all but 3-4 people slip my memory, from that place.) 
madtomkiddOops- :) I am logged on as Ben. Ha ha! 
ryanheGood luck with thanxgiving. I'm sure it will all work out.
