i'll tell ya what i've done. i wrote out cards. i've sent cards. i've made breads. i've thought of gifts. i received cards. i made cookies. i bought gifts. i made more cookies. i handed cookies out at work. i received cards. i gave presents. i received presents. i saw family members that i haven't seen in a while.

that is what i've done. and i loved every minute of it. well, not so much the seeing family members... but everything else i liked. making the bread. baking cookies and handing them out. the whole card thing i just totally love. i really think that that is my favorite thing about the holidays. sending and receiving cards. although baking cookies is a surprising second. i never woulda thought i'd say that two weeks ago. but alas... baking is fun.

and christmas is not christmas unless i have my uncle's chex mix. people laugh... oh yes they do... but i truly know it's christmas when i have his chex mix. it's so yummy. ritz party mix and gardettos can't even compete with it. at all. people laugh about us having chex mix... but it's a staple. if it's not there, it's not christmas.

and now i can't believe that christmas is over... but christmas really isn't just one day, i realized. it's the whole month of december. it really is. like the parties and the grabs and the togetherness and the baking and the cards... it's all christmas. and it's just strewn throughout the month. so maybe everyone and their mother realized that a while ago. but i just realized it today.

so anyway, yeah. i went to blockbuster tonight to rent me some movies. i got snatch and requim for a dream. i heard that it's a weird movie. so i rented it. and i rented snatch because ben swears that brad pitt is really good in that movie. i'm not a big fan of brad's... so when i say something negative... ben thinks i'm a moron. so i rented it... hopefully watching it with an open mind.

back to work tomorrow. yippee. if anything... i need to find a new job. i really do. it's making me so unhappy right now. so unhappy. but anyway... off i go to beddybye.
