Holiday Hubbub, in list format, of course.

1. Between today and Sunday night, I / we have 4 Christmas parties to go to.  A cookie exchange, a Mexican feast a la Darnell, a tacky Christmas sweater party / light tour, and a church white elephant.  That's a lot of holiday outfits to put together.  More importantly, that's a lot of eating which I happen to be a man professional at.

2.  I was making cookies this morning at 6:30am.  I'm okay with this because our dinner last night with Dr. Huff was the bees knees.

3.  After deep thought and discussion, Devin and I have decided that we do, in fact, desperately need a vacation.

4.  Have you finished your Christmas shopping?  I haven't, so I am taking a day off Friday to finish.  Naturally, I will need my mother's assistance.  None of this makes sense to my husband.

5.  School of Rock is my favorite movie*.  I quote it at least a few times a week.  My baby brother does the best Jack Black dancing (from that movie).  I'll work on getting you a clip of that over the holidays.

6.  Devin says his favorite movie is Gladiator.  I think it's really You've Got Mail.  Sort of like Rachel.  This is my favorite episode ever.  Ever.**

7.  My baby brother also just got JUNIOR FRIGGIN EDITOR on a new History Channel show!!!

8.  My excitement to see this movie makes me cry when I watch the trailer.  It's entirely pathetic.

9.  I also want to see this.  If you're thinking, "Sweet Moses, who is singing?!", I am thinking the same thing.

10.  The Texans are at work signing autographs today.  Neat.

11.  We have 7 weeks until the marathon and oh, all of the sudden, my knee decides you know I don't really care for this, so, uh, I'm bailing.  Hoping that will recover, like, now.  I'm also having weird cramping up around my lungs.  And blue hands post run ( am talking THIS BLUE) which Dr. Huff did not seem to be concerned with.  Like, not at all.

12.  Um, watch this.  I want to cuddle her and then have her tell me a story.  That's not creepy, right?


*Obvi I can't actually say this is my favorite movie because I don't think anyone really has a favorite movie.  It's not like you can pick just one.
** duh.
