Don't Throw Me Down Clark

Something is terribly wrong.

I am behind yet again.

Not a single Christmas Card written.

Not a single Christmas gift purchased.

I have not even finished decorating the tree.

I think I will be home on Saturday. Perhaps a miracle will happen and I will get it together.

What in the world happened to me?!?

I normally embrace the season starting November 1. But it turns out it is December 8th and I have lots of catching up to do.

Let's make a list shall we?

• fill out christmas cards


• address christmas cards


• get stamps


• get to the post office


• buy gifts for at least the people I will see face to face.


• finish decorating the tree - try not to have a bad attitude while doing it


• watch all of my favorite Christmas movies - up to and including: It's A Wonderful Life, Miracle on 34th Street, Christmas Vacation, Elf, How the Grinch Stole Christmas, A Christmas Carol - the one from the 30's and The Godfather. Yes, The Godfather is a Christmas movie.


• buy my Panetonne for Christmas Morning French Toast

ok, its not that bad.....i will end the dramatic moment.

I will call this year The Year of the Simple Christmas.

There are some moments to celebrate in early December:

My new haircolor is getting rave reviews.

I found the best new eye make up - smoky eyes are my new passion.

I am loving my new black boots. They are super sassy.

Project Ass Reduction is working so well my pants are falling off. While this does pose some problems - it is the ultimate goal.

I am learning new things every single day in my new job.

Lip swirls and lip butters......mmmmmmmmm

Spending time in NYC this December has been a highlight. I still want to move to Manhatten - but I am too poor. If anyone wants to sponsor my move there, please let me know.

I finally bought a warm coat and it has the softest pockets when you put your hands in them!
