FInally, A Kindle.

As I suspected, Matt got me one for Christmas.  I love it so very much and I have been playing with it all weekend.  I've already downloaded more (mostly free) books than I can possibly read.  It is as wonderful as I has hoped.

I hope your Christmases were equally as thrilling.

Songs that WILL NOT be on my Christmas playlist this year.

-I'll Be Home For Christmas (most specifically: Josh Grobans's version - not to be played under any circumstances)
-All I Want For Christmas is You
-Blue Christmas
-Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas
-Happy Xmas (War is Over)

Songs that will be played often to make up for the lack of the songs above:
-Purple Snowflakes by Marvin Gaye
-Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree by Cyndi Lauper
-Soulful Christmas by James Brown

Weekends.

It seems to me that there are two major downfalls of a long weekend. Although they are long and luxuriously relaxing, they shorten the week, often squishing five days of work into three. Also, after the weekend that seems never to end, the following weekend feels short and as though you have been cheated. This is my situation.

Matt had four days off last weekend. Then a stressful three day week. And now we are at the end of a two day weekend that just flew by. I know what we did all weekend, but I just don't know where the time went.

On the up side, we do have a Christmas tree which is probably the happiest thing we've bought since we got here. I can't wait to get more Christmas tree accoutrements.
