1. I’ve started listening to Christmas music already. Is it me or does it come on the radio earlier and earlier? TWO stations are already playing nothing but Christmas music nonstop for weeks already. And me? Powerless to turn it off. I’m Jingle Bell Rockin’ at work, Decking the Halls at home, and Letting it Snow in the car in between. Last night I rocked Avery to sleep with Santa Baby.
I just can’t help myself. It’s a seasonal addiction for me, I’m already out of control, and it isn’t even Thanksgiving.
2. Does anyone use Hartz flea products on their dog or cat? Gunnar’s is almost a MONTH overdue, and I’m starting to panic, especially since it’s been warm the last few days. We’re usually religious about his flea and tick regimen, but we haven’t been able to get over to the vet while they’re open to buy his monthly dose. I’m thinking of making an emergency run to the Teeter tonight to purchase a flea dose. I’m thinking it might be the way to go from here on out; it’s cheaper than the vet and my mom says its always worked fine for her. I mean, its better than nothing right? I’m starting to feel like we’re playing Russian roulette with the flea population and this is a battle I definitely don’t want to lose.
3. Was just thinking how I cannot WAIT until January. Having Thursdays off is going to be so rewarding in so many ways. Not only will I be able to save on gas and spend some wonderful QT with my daughter, but I’ll be able to FINALLY have a few pockets of time to do what I like to do. Maybe I can get a better handle on my coupon organization, or break out the scrapbooking stuff and work on a few pages every week in between Bookie’s naps and feedings. I mean, almost half of her first year is gone, and I haven’t even scrapbooked my pregnancy book yet. Gotta get crackin’ again!
4. Mikey finally brought home some new tapes for our video camera. This week I taped some adorable footage of little Bookie Lou. I got her laughing, rolling around, and razzing. And Gunnar laying there like a wet rag, sleeping. They’re perfect home video moments. Even Mikey and I made cameos. As stressed and frazzled as I’ve been these days, I’m grateful I can still appreciate this wonderful little family we have and recognize these fleeting special moments in our lives. Thank you God.
5. So something AWESOME happened last night. Yes, I was among the tweentards waiting in line to be one of the first to see New Moon for the sneak preview at midnight. My sister paid for the ticket and my mom drove. So literally I just had to be there along for the ride. I couldn’t pass that up; although I tried to at first…we were home at 3am. Somehow I still made it to work by 8am. And I’m not too tired. Perhaps it’s my renewed love of all things Twilight that’s fueling me?? Hmmm.
All I will say is this…there were parts that definitely challenged my Team Edward-ness. I was VERY tempted to switch teams, but in the end Edward won my heart back! Sighhh….
That’s all for now…discuss.
