December

It's OFFICIALLY Christmas season. And although I have been listening to Christmas music for 3 weeks (don't shoot me) I'm still super stoked to listen to those that I have not listened to. The ones that are totally sacred and meant only for december. Aaaand a week and a half after Christmas. Those would be Kenny G, Harry, Amy, Al Green, etc. I have been listening to mainly the radio weirdness and the angel David A (that's who I'm listening to right now).


Now that it's December I thought I would put some things that have belonged to this month since I was a kid. Some things I will list are things that we don't do anymore. I will mark those with a *. Let the list begin

Amy Grant
Harry Connick Jr.
Kenny G
Mannheim steamroller
pretzels
mint M&M's
mint kisses
get and decorate our real tree on the first saturday of Dec.
singing on the 3rd Sunday
Luke 2
* reenacting (spelling?) Luke 2 (being Mary was pretty much the best. Getting to ride in on someones back carrying my doll...yep. That was the way to go)
White Christmas (movie)
wassail
neighbor treats
snow
*performances by the kids
fire place
cinnamon
gingerbread cookie decorating
*getting a picture with Santa/ seeing him at the mall
*looking for Rudolphs nose (thanks to Bethany)
*reading a Christmas book every night with mom
christmas puzzles
presents
*surprise presents
sledding
the Chipmunk song
*drawing names from a bowl
Christmas Eve dinner
egg nog with sprite
waking up early and waiting on the stairs
driving around looking at lights
temple square
opening presents youngest to oldest
*"We Three C's"


That's all I can think of at the moment. Then there has been a couple things added in like R&B Christmas mix, rotating names, knowing my presents, David Archuleta, etc etc.

I was going to initiate December in with these, but I didn't have time. Tomorrow maybe?



Some boys act like girls and get offended like that (*fingers snapping*) (and name that movie) and bring to pass ridiculously stupid drama. It's super annoying. Just throwing that out there.

Yay for manly men! :D

And yes, next year I'm waiting until December to listen to that magical music. Or at least after Thanksgiving, because it does make it a lot more exciting. Darn giving into temptation(s) (haha...get it?)

KIMBERLY

We ARE going to make these. 

and they WILL taste like heaven

I think i need to flirt more...ha.

"You don't even like boys!"

said one of my male friends tonight

I wonder if that's what all the guys think...

I'm content with that though.

...for now. 

Confession time baby!

Alright. Listen up. I have some confessions to make.

First off I would like to say that when I was younger, I would do things for attention (don't we all?) so on some of these things, please bear (bare? ...)with me. I thought I was being funny and that they would just go away but these things have kept coming up and I am now old enough and am not embarrassed to let you guys know that:

Lorien - remember when I "slept walked" into your room and had a sword fight? I was awake. I either woke up and couldn't get back to sleep so decided to or I planned it...I don't remember. So that perfect form I had...yep...it was all me. Thanks :)

Kim - Idaho. 5 years ago about. Maybe 4. Again with the sleep walking type thing. I was WIDE awake and I'm not sure what prompted that one. I did come up with everything as I went though, it was not a planned in advance thing. Potgut. Enough said. Oh, and wall river dancing.

Kim, Rose, and....Bethany I think - When I wrote down everything that you guys were saying in your sleep, about 1 sentence of that was true. Someone said something on my way down to mom's room and so I ran and got a paper and pen so that I could write down what you said if there was anything else. BUT, no one said anything. So I made it up.

There are my confessions. I know, I was a horrible human being...child...girl. I'm pretty sure that was all as far as the sleep stuff goes. HOWEVER. I might have pretended I was talking in my sleep sometimes, but 90% of the time I was talking, and possibly walking, and kicking, and taking up almost every corner of the bed without my knowledge. Cross my heart hope to die.

There you go folks! Now I don't have to keep telling people that it really didn't happen when it gets brought up.... Forgive me? :) It was, after all, a long time ago. Elementary school and jr high status....so yeah. A long time ago


Oh, and Mom - when I was about....8 or 9, it was me who spilled all the flour on the floor in the storage room, not Christian. So, you shouldn't have gotten mad at him and made him clean it up. But that's okay. All in the past, right? :D

Mormon Message Monday

Dear Hair,

As far as the bangs go....not sure if I want you to grow back yet or not....
