What a difference a day can make

I had the best day today.  First....  I slept in.  Then... I woke up to a beautiful world covered in a blanket of snow.  Then I headed over to Tim and Kristie's house to pick up my mom to go Christmas shopping and was rewarded by extreme baby snuggles and smiles from Kaelyn, AKA the cutest effin' baby ever (since mine, of course...lol).

Mom and I shopped til we dropped and had lunch at the Olive Garden.  My spoon was dirty, so my whole meal was free... which I argued was a bit much, but the waitresses insisted.  Woo hoo!!

It was crazy out there today, but I never went to the "bad place" ....ok.... maybe I ALMOST got to the "bad place" at Toys R Us, but felt it coming and hightailed it outta there!

I am FINALLY done shopping an can enjoy the weekend.  (I am pretending that I have already wrapped everything.  Maybe if I pretend long enough they will wrap themselves)

Giants/Jets tomorrow.  Gonna be a nail bitah!!  GO JETS!!!

Spoiler Alert: I am a downer.

I haven't blogged in ages, so I should. 

Why not... you ask?  (ok, you didn't, but I am answering you anyway)

In a bit of a funk the past few weeks.  Not really feeling the whole Christmas thing this year.  The kids are older and don't seem to care as much.  They have nothing exciting on their wishlists because the days of them DYING to have that 'tickle-me-Elmo-Zsu-Zsu-Pet-Wii-cabbage-patch-kid' are gone.  I LOVED the hunt.  I LOVED the Black Friday craziness trying to grab deals and fight crowds, but I didn't go this year and I think I really need that big 'Holiday Season Kick-off.'  Sean hasn't admitted it yet, but he certainly must not believe in Santa anymore. Confession: I am not even CLOSE to done with my xmas shopping.

Also.  I miss running.  WTF, right?  Never thought I would hear myself say that.  It's too dark in the morning and after work to run right now.  And it's also just too fucking cold.  I went for a run on Sunday and couldn't feel my legs for 2 hours afterwards.  I REALIZE I can get-a-headlight/reflective vest-run-on-a-treadmill.  It's not the same.  At all.  If I were only running for exercise, then those aforementioned things would indeed be "just excuses,"  but I run because I enjoy the experience running outdoors (without the snot freezing in my nose or the cold air piercing my lungs like needles).

Oh yeah and also....  The Jets suck and I want to line them up and smack them one-by-one right now.
