By the Christmas lights glow...

We went to CALM last night to see the lights. I love CALM in the winter. When I walk under the strands of twinkling lights, I feel like a princess in a fairy tale. All I need is the big puffy dress, a bird perched on my finger, and a couple of dwarfs by my side and I'm set! Then I hear the kids screaming in front of me and alas, the spell is broken. Next year I'm going without the kids! It was your typical family excursion...hubs walking 10 steps behind chatting with his bud, the kids 10 steps ahead, trying to see who can be the loudest and knock into the most people, and me, in the middle, the pitch in my voice getting steadily higher and higher as I try to corral my darling heathens who are with their cousins which means more fuel for the fire! All-in-all, it was an enjoyable evening. I highly recommend it to all. The steaming cup of hot cocoa and the 5000 calorie apple dumpling definitely helped.

I am having a major case of the lazy's right now. Each morning I get up with full intentions of running my 4 miles. It doesn't seem to happen as much as it should. With my last few kid free days winding down, all I want to do is sit on the couch in my comfy sweats, drink coffee and gorge on TLC and HGtv! I guess there's always 2010 to start working on my ever expanding butt! Have a wonderful Wednesday everyone.
