Where are you Christmas?
By Christy On Saturday, December 8, 2007 At 6:43 PM
Hello there blog world. How are you all doing on this fine Saturday evening?
Me?
I'm irritable and irritated and irritating. Can you be all those things at once?
I'm tired of seeing this same commercial for the Delovely Kohl's sales. It's not delicious, it's not delightful and it's not delovely. Are we unlovifying something? What is "delovely" and who thought that marketing slogan would do a bit of good? I never shop at Kohl's anyway. The reason they have all their sales is because items need to be 50% to be closer to a decent price and even then they are sometimes high.
Braeden is still snotty but he has more energy today and has eaten a bit more; very sporadically and undecided as it may have been.
Every muscle in my body feels as though it was pulled. I didn't run any marathons that I know of but I imagine one would feel this sore afterwards..but have nothing great to show for it like a race time or knowledge of having completed a feat.
Brian, Braeden and I watched National Treasure this afternoon. As someone who loves Nicholas Cage, I am upset with myself for never having seen the movie until today. It was excellent, very intriguing. I am finding that I also enjoy Justin Bartha, he played Riley in this movie and was Ace in "Failure to Launch." Anyway back to the flick, how can you not be interested in possible conspiracy theories and mysteries involving real historical facts? Very cool movie.
Turning the movie off we immediately were faced with the last 15 minutes of the Polar Express movie which Braeden has watched at least two dozen times. But afterwards we saw part of the making of that movie. Much respect to Tom Hanks who played nearly every adult male in that movie if not all of them. And all in green screen and digital which was then transposed into animation. Awesome!
You know what stinks? The fact that I have been intensely and passionately excited about Christmas up until very recently. And now. I don't know. I guess it's like when people keep telling you you are ugly and you start to believe it...well...when people keep bah-humbug-ing around you it starts to rub off. Plus I'm sick again and have zero energy or motivation to even begin making cookies. I should be wrapping presents and I haven't had the gumption. I was so excited about the gifts I have in my room waiting to be wrapped. What happened? Where did Christmas go? Sitting here three feet from the Christmas tree glowing, I can't help but wonder why the magic went away, how did I let that happen?
Cocoa. Candy canes. Sparkling lights. The smell of cinnamon and gingerbread. Christmas music. Presents. Love. Magic. Peace. Contentment.
I am down.

I really need to see National Treasure. And that other Nicholas Cage movie with the fire and the motorcycle. The title is escaping me right now. I love him as an actor. The hubster hates him so I have to watch when he isn't around. Otherwise I get peanut gallery comments that annoy me.
Isaac just saw National Treasure and now he's obsessed. He's so excited for the next one to come out.
Sorry you are humbugging. This should be a fabulous year for you and B&B! I'm also sorry to hear you're sick again. Don't make cookies if you don't want to! Just hang out with your men!
P.S. I hate that lame commercial too! I've always wondered about that whole delovely thing...
