Christmas Wishlist

I love finding the perfect gift and will spend the months leading up to Christmas figuring out just what I want to get for the fam and friends.  Watching them open a gift I know they're not expecting truly is a highlight of the holidays for me. If I can get some tears of joy out of my mom? Even better!

I wasn't sure I could top last year, but I know a few people will be quite surprised come Sunday, including myself! I usually have some idea of what I'm getting, but this year I'm completely clueless.  Here are a few items I'm hoping I might find under the tree:

West Wing: The Complete Series

via

NorthFace Better than Naked Jacket for running in the rain

via

Rice Jersey

Wine Fridge, would like a 12 bottle dual temp control,
but would really take anything small enough to fit in my place and keep my wine good.

FNL: Complete Series (for when I'm ready to watch again, sigh)

To support my kindle book buying addiction:

Alcohol, TV, Books, Sports and Fitness. Yup, that about sums me up.

I Can Breathe Again!

No more studying! At least for now, and I'm going with the assumption that I passed. Even though I feel like I'll be right at the cut-off and could go either way. But nothing I can do for two months!  I could almost feel the stress melt away as I walked out Saturday morning. Until I found myself in the Starbucks at the mall.  Oh that's right, it's holiday season, how could I forget!

I spent the rest of the weekend completely enveloping myself in all things Christmas.  I watched Elf and Love Actually twice, wrapped presents and of course, the tree!  I'm usually a buy the weekend after Thanksgiving, tree person. With studying this year, I had to wait TWO weeks. Gah!  But here it is:

Space is a bit limited in my new place, luckily size doesn't matter, it's the smell that counts! Heh. I also love my Angel tree topper. I still remember putting it on the tree for the first time as a little kid.  My mom kept it for me after we changed our family one out.  Awwww (I could hear you all saying it, so I threw it in to make the voice in your head actually be on the computer and you wouldn't seem crazy. You're welcome).

After 36 hours of full-on Holidayness, I finally feel like the most wonderful time of the year has infected me too!

That's not all I've been infected with lately. No, ew, not that. Or that! Come on people.  I have the running bug. And you can read about it HERE.
