Recently

I have been having trouble sleeping lately.

I find that I am child-like in my grumpiness when my routine is mucked with. About to hop on the treadmill, hoping that will help.

I think Christmas Eve is better than Christmas Day. Anticipation at it's peak.

I have no New Year's resolutions, but probably should. Maybe something about more creative fun with the girls. Or more concentration and improved time management. Or....what was I just saying? Oh well.

I confess I want to see the new Sherlock Holmes movie. Robert Downey, Jr. Yummy.

Every time I hear the story about the boy in Brazil reunited with his father, I get singing "Reunited" by Peaches and Herb. It is the reason I bought my very first album (a Time Life compilation that also included "I Want You to Want Me" by Cheap Trick - Cry! Cry! Cry!). It still kind of makes me smile.

I painted my toenails for the first time in 6 months. It's a shame I won't be wearing sandals again for a very long time. *sigh* I hate winter.

"Mommy, I know how Santa gets back up the chiminimee. He puts his finger aside of his nose." Really? Phew, holding onto magic for one more year.
