So, today's post has a soundtrack. It's "Get Up" from R.E.M. just because it's a good song and kind of matches my mood right now. Plus, the line "dreams, they complicate my life" is pretty great.
I'm all over the place today, so I'm blogging a disconnected superfluous Saturday post. It snowed last night. Of course, I live in south Louisiana, so it's already melted and the kids are disappointed (but there is nothing I can do about that being that I do not actually have superpowers, or at least none that would help at the moment).

The Shop Around The Corner was on last night and I watched it for probably the fifth time. It's my favorite Jimmy Stewart movie and it's what You've Got Mail is a remake of, but the two main characters are pen pals instead of email and IM friends ('cause it's 1940 and Al Gore hadn't been born to invent the interwebs yet). It's quite a lovely little movie, as well as being a Christmas movie, so it's a perfect time to watch it. I may have to watch You've Got Mail tonight.

I don't know what to ask for this Christmas. I've been told to make a list by the hubs and I have to think of a couple of things for the parents to get me. There are a few things about the Christmas Season I absolutely abhor: ridiculously tacky Christmas decor, holiday-themed sweaters, Christmas songs by country singers, the fact that McDonalds no longer makes the egg nog milkshake, and making a Christmas list for myself. I never know what to ask for because I buy things for myself when I want them. I'd planned to ask the hubs for a Kindle, but have decided to get a Nook from Barnes and Noble — here's the rub: they're not shipping until sometime in January. Naturally, I'm not going to ask for the Nook for Christmas because if I can't open it for Christmas it's really not a Christmas present, now is it? I may ask for therapy and Target pharmacy giftcards for Christmas.

I would like to welcome my new readers in Budapest and can't help but wonder how this blog translates in Hungary. Also, the search term you used to arrive at my blog was, for lack of a better word, interesting. The exclamation point shows that you REALLY mean it, because who knows what "redhead bbw pin-up girl" without the exclamation point would bring up. By the way, the oddest search term used this week used to find my blog, according to my stat counter, was "big boobs scrap," which I can only guess is from that ONE time I was drunk and scrapbooking topless (that was a joke people, I ALWAYS scrapbook topless).
