How I love my 4-day weekends! I can be super-busy Saturday and Sunday and still feel like I have a weekend. :)
Thursday Hailey and I went on a crazy Christmas shopping expedition. (I was actually looking for Guitar Hero 1 and 2 for my boyfriend, and ended up shopping for everyone else!) We also made a stop to visit Martha's section @ K-Mart and pick up all our tree trimmings. (we fought over colors b/c I wanted purple and silver and she wanted the blue and silver. She won--mostly because there were very few purple ornaments left. *pouts*)
After running to a few stores in that horrible Friday night weather, I went on a mad cookie spree. I only got through Oatmeal and some double-chocolate w/ Christmas Kissables ones before calling it a night, but it was a LOT of cookies!!
Yesterday my ex-step-daughter came over and we decorated the Christmas tree. (Okay, I set it up and she and my daughter Hailey did all the fun stuff!) They did a great job, as you can see here:
And one of them from last year...damn, kids grow so fast!
^^Little red-eyed demon kids at that!! :)
Then my parents came over for pizza and to hang out w/ the kiddos for a bit (which was just surreal in itself, as I don't believe I've ever actually had my parents over for a real visit before).
Today, I am making some yummy Italian wedding soup (which I have never actually tried before, so wish me luck!) and just hanging around the house. I think more cookies may be in order later, too. :D
Wondering why I feel compelled to cook and bake when it gets cold out. Is it an Italian thing or an old age thing? lol
This is precisely why I hate youtube content on journals. Unlike all other forms of estrip journal media, the temporary nature of the youtube content makes this journal entry so meaningless to future viewers, argh.
Man, I missed it...damn you NBC!!!

omg, what was that? that was fantastic! I am still laughing..
I agree, I think Justin Timberlake is consistently one of the funniest guests they have. I like the other guy in that video too, Andy whatever. That is a hilarious skit. Thanks for sharing it!
I'm not much of a Justin Timberlake fan but that skit is falling-down-laughing funny. Thanks for posting it!
