1. It’s only 8, and I’m already on my second Christmas movie on the lifetime movie network. I just love seeing the holiday parties, the festive attire, and the perfect houses decked with candles and lights.
2. I’ve been extra hungry all week and I’ve had to supplement dinner with a bowl of cereal. I wonder if it’s seasonal or hormonal?
3. You must make Angela’s avocado pasta! It’s creamy and bursting with flavor and made me feel like I was eating a huge portion of alfredo.
4. The weather has finally turned cold, but the blue skies are back. Now, it feels like the holiday season.
5. Tomorrow is only 3/4 of day…excitement!
6. I could really go for a hot toddy or some mulled wine. I have yet to have a warm winter beverage.
7. Speaking of beverages, last night’s beer break was wonderful. We tried both the 2010 and 2011 batches of the First Frost (basically a barley-wine brewed with persimmon), as well as the bourbon-barrel imperial stout. Mmmmmmmmm, both were thick and fabulous.
8. I seem to have a bit of writer’s block this evening, as I feel like these thoughts are rather boring.
9. Oh man, the Papa John’s commercial has me salivating. Thanks to Pavlov, I know why.
10. I miss psychology. And Boston.
11. But I do love being close to home. Especially around Christmas time, because my travel plans include driving 20 minutes home and 20 minutes back. That should be a hell-of-a-lot more relaxing than the year I had to pack for 12 days of travel in a carry-on to avoid baggage fees.
12. I need a nice red party dress. Not sure where I would wear it tough.
13. Do you guys wear cute winter pajamas like they do in the movies?
14. Excited for sleep!

December 8, 2011 at 9:09 pmEveryone I know has been putting it away like crazy this week. Maybe because we’re so close to the darkest day of the year? I’d say, just roll with it.
p.s. LOVE barley wine. Just love it. It is the best of every world in a glass.

December 9, 2011 at 9:00 amI’m looking for a sequin, sparkly dress- all the ones that I’ve tried make me look like I should be working the night shift 😛 P.S. Sweats are totes acceptable as PJ’s, no?! I have some “cute” sets that I wear in the warmer months… When it’s cold, I’m freezing!

December 9, 2011 at 12:53 pmTotally acceptable, but sometimes I want the matching set:)

December 9, 2011 at 10:35 amI’m now obsessed with that red dress and might impulsively buy it. I do have my 30th birthday this February! Have you ever bought off that site before? What’s their return policy like?
Laura
December 9, 2011 at 12:52 pmI’ve never bought something from that site, but I say go for it!!!

December 9, 2011 at 1:13 pmI love your “Thoughts” posts the best! I feel like I always have random thoughts floating through my head! Last night it was “Do the Kardashians really sleep with all that make up on their face? What must their pillows look like in the morning?”

December 9, 2011 at 5:17 pmI have been eating my face off too! It’s got to be the winter. Must be stocking up on fat stores to keep me warm, but I’ll worry about that in the spring. On pajamas, I love pajama bottoms, but always just wear an old T shirt. These are my current favorite pj’s . On sale at American Eagle. Super cheap and awesome.
