A lazy day, is the perfect day.

I used to consider a “perfect” day as one that involved constant activity or some sort of new adventure.  Hah, I’m much wiser now. It’s official, a “perfect” day in my world is one that involves pure laziness: sweat pants, good movies,  a little (or a lot) junk food., little-to-no movement for hours at a time…  Also, (since I am apparently dependent on people), I can’t enjoy these lazy days alone –so it’s always nice when people I love join me.

I think I’ve learned to love these days so much because I don’t really get very many of them while I’m in school. Sometimes it’s nice to just sit and turn my brain off, know what I mean?  Of course you do, because deep down inside your perfect day, is also a lazy day!! Just admit it.

Over the past few weeks, I’ve probably enjoyed way too many lazy days for my own good.  I am sure all this laziness will come back to bite me in the tush once I go back to reality on Jan 4. That’s alright though, I plan on enjoying the few days of freedom that I have left!

Christmas Cheer

I don’t usually talk about things that are too personal on my blog, but for some reason today I feel the need to let it out.  I know that it’s the holiday season and I should be feeling all happy and cheery, but I’m not. At least today I am not.  There’s some family “drama” (I guess that’s what I would call it) happening and things around home just aren’t the same this Christmas season. Unfortunately there’s not much I can do about it, but I think it would help if I could just bounce out of my funk and put on a happy face for the fam.

I think I was doing alright until today, when I found out that my bestest has been upset with me for three weeks, and she just now decided to share that with me. Although she told me she’s upset with me, she also mentioned that she wouldn’t be ready to discuss it for a few days.  Then why did she tell me now?  Why didn’t she tell me three weeks ago, or better yet why didn’t she just wait to tell me until she was ready to discuss?  I am now waiting patiently….  I love her to death and of course I know that this will not ruin a friendship of 22 years, but I am anxious and ready to talk everything out.

If you put the family and friend issues together, you get me in a funky mood.  I know that it will all blow over, it’s just a matter of time and patience…and Christmas cheer!!

So let’s change the subject to Christmas, shall we? Yes, let’s talk about my all time FAVORITE Christmas song:

I don’t want a lot for Christmas

There’s just one thing I need

I don’t care about the presents

Underneath the Christmas tree

I just want you for my own

More than you could ever know

Make my wish come true

All I want for Christmas is…

You

I don’t want a lot for Christmas

There’s just one thing I need

I don’t care about the presents

Underneath the Christmas tree

I don’t need to hang my stocking

There upon the fireplace

Santa Claus won’t make me happy

With a toy on Christmas day

I just want you for my own

More than you could ever know

Make my wish come true

All I want for Christmas is you

You baby

I won’t ask for much this Christmas

I don’t even wish for snow

I’m just gonna keep on waiting

Underneath the mistletoe

I won’t make a list and send it

To the North Pole for Saint Nick

I won’t even stay awake to

Hear those magic reindeers click

‘Cause I just want you here tonight

Holding on to me so tight

What more can I do

Baby all I want for Christmas is you

Ooh baby

All the lights are shining

So brightly everywhere

And the sound of children’s

Laughter fills the air

And everyone is singing

I hear those sleigh bells ringing

Santa won’t you bring me the one I really need

Won’t you please bring my baby to me…

Oh I don’t want a lot for Christmas

This is all I’m asking for

I just want to see my baby

Standing right outside my door

Oh I just want you for my own

More than you could ever know

Make my wish come true

Baby all I want for Christmas is…

You

All I want for Christmas is you… baby (repeat and fade)

Yes, my all time favorite Christmas song is,  All I Want for Christmas by Mariah Carey.  How could anyone not love this song?  On our road trip to NJ, I made Mina listen to the song many, many times.  Not only did he listen to it…he also sang to it! Put our voices together and we do a pretty good Mariah, if I may say so myself.  Do me a favor and go listen to it, right now: http://www.youtube.com/user/mariahcarey?blend=1&ob=4

…don’t forget to sing along!!!

Blog Makeover

I’ve been trying to makeover my blog, but it’s not going very well…I’m just not sure if I like the new changes.  I was totally starting to get bored with my old look, but I can’t seem to be happy with the new look.  Hmph.  What now?  Any thoughts?  Perhaps this new look is a little too stiff or boring? Who knows. Eventually I will be content with the changes, until then…let me know what you think, please?

A Blogging Funk

Unfortunately, I have been MIA in the blogging world lately.  A couple of months ago I started getting into a blogging funk, which was then followed by an overwhelming amount of studying at school…resulting in me not blogging for over a month.  I am sure all my reader(s) missed me dearly. Quite honestly, I missed me.

I do have some exciting news though,  I have recently been “re-inspired,” and well…I’m back!!!! Have any of you seen the movie Julie & Julia?  I finally watched it today and it was excellent!! Totally recommended.  I won’t spoil it for those of you who have not seen it, but in short:  The character Julie decides to start a blog about how she will make every recipe from Julia Childes cookbook, all within a year.  Now, now, don’t get too excited….I don’t plan on writing daily about every recipe from a cookbook, however, I am hoping to get into a much better blogging routine, just as Julie did.

I’m excited for this new found inspiration.
