Buh Humbug!
Really. The holiday is really getting to me. I used to look forward to Christmas and now I sort of fear it. I can't find time to do anything. I was so tired tonight that I didn't even go to Zumba. What did I do instead? Ate some of the christmas cookies that I made a couple weeks ago and now I'm having a drink. Whatever. I'm going tomorrow. I have only watched like 3 or 4 of my Christmas movies that I watch every year. I didn't get to Polar Express, Love Actually or Christmas Vacation. I did watch While You Were Sleeping, Elf and Nightmare Before Christmas. TV shows like Dexter, The Walking Dead, GLEE and The Voice have come first. I'm at least 2 weeks behind on Supernatural too.
Then there is my renewed love of Audrey Hepburn and her movies. I've gotten through Breakfest At Tiffany's, Sabrina and Roman Holiday. I think I have Funny Face from Netflixs that I haven't even opened. I've gotten about a half way though The Bourne Legacy with the totally gorgeous Jeremy Renner *sigh* over the span of like 2 days. I really have NO idea what's going on I was just staring at Jeremy ;-) I bought the last Batman movie Dark Night Rises and it's still in the wrapper.
I bought the new No Doubt, P!ink and Xtina CD's and they're great! I've had to fit Christmas music in there too. Michael Buble' still owns me this Christmas as it did last year too. His Christmas album is only the 3 actually CD I've played in my new car. It's been in there all week. The other two have been AVA's We Don't Need To Whisper and Adele. I'll be getting some new Angels and Airwaves stuff soon! YEAH! They have an EP of new music coming out. I miss them. Blink-182 has an EP coming out tomorrow that I have pre ordered on iTunes!
I've been bking a little bit too. I made some nutmeg crisps a couple weeks ago and ended up with a double recipe. Long story. That second batch is almost gone anyway. I kind of started in on them early. Opps :-P Today I made Chinese Almond cookies. They were a lot of work but the look really "fancy" with the sliver almonds on top. And I have planned to make these pinwheel wrap finger sandwiches like the ones we make at work. I "aquired" some free wraps from work that were outdated. I have smoked gouda cheese, turkey and maple ham bought for them. And some of this herb and garlic cheese spread to put on them too. We use mayo on ours at work but I hate mayo. I made one already, just to see if it worked out. They look really cool, they're really easy to make and they're so yummy! See, here is the thing. I'm not buying anyone gifts, so I'm making some goodies for them to eat. I bought the ham they we're going to have too.
Saturday the 22nd we're having our family Christmas thing. My brother and my SIL are even coming. :-O They have not come to Christmas Eve in like 10 years or maybe even more. They reason for having it on Saturday is for many reasons. My BIL Tim and my brother have to work that night. My nephew Scott has plans to go to his wife to be Heather's parents. I've not seen my brother in a long time. My SIL either but that's OK. I can't stand her anyway. My niece Robyn is bring wine so I don't care. My SIL can say things like, "Wow it looks like you've been doing your own hair color." and I won't give a shit. :-P
