Merry Christmas!!

First off, I wanted to wish everyone a Merry Christmas! May we all enjoy the holiday and the true spirit of Christmas! Secondly, Shawn and I received our final grades this evening and they were excellent! Shawn did very, very well (I'll let him brag) and I did very well considering how many credits I was taking! Here's a pic of my grades! Merry Christmas everyone!

Christmas Shopping

You never realize how difficult it is to find gifts for the ones you love until you attempt to do so! Shawn and I just spent 3 hours trying to find gifts for our families and only came away with 2 out of the 7 left! I really love the Christmas season. It is the only time of the winter that I am somewhat happy (the gloomy skies really bum me out.) However, being out amongst inconsiderate people really puts a damper on my Christmas spirit. People are constantly walking into you or trying to run you over with their carts! (I was raised that when you are walking in front of someone you say "Excuse me" and I rarely see this while I'm shopping.) I also have difficulty being surrounded by a trillion people because I am so claustrophobic! Anyway. . . . . . enough about that rant!
While we were out, I stumbled upon the Elvis and Priscilla dolls that I have been drooling over. However, I couldn't bear to part with $60 for a couple of beautiful barbie dolls. Oh well. Below is a (lovely) picture of myself with the coveted set and . . . . my new hair do. It's hard to tell in the picture but I had my hair cut in an a-line and I love it! Shawn loves the color but is not too fond of the cut. He's more of a long-haired kinda guy but that's ok. I'm really happy with my hair! Hope you are all having a happy holiday season!

Pay it Forward

I thought this was really neat. Apparently not all of us have forgotten what Christmas is truly about.

Burn Out

Ok, so you know you're losing it when you ask your husband, "Does that burner usually smell that bad?" and it takes you a few minutes to realize that there is a fire on the back burner! I was making dinner and turned on the wrong burner, causing some papers to begin to burn. I think my subconscious desire for the semester to be finished has manifested itself consciously! Wouldn't you say?

Sometimes a picture is worth a thousand words.
