I know it's frightening!

Yah, I just sent out Christmas cards...hope they get to their destinations on time.

I couldn't watch old Donna Reed or something like that growing up.

For me, all of those old shows including the Cosby Show, were like a doube edged sword. They portrayed what to me, was perfection and how life was supposed to be. So as a kid, I had really high expectations for myself, others and life. As a result, I was very much a perfectionist robot and very judgemental of others if they didn't live up to my expectations. That was bad. However, at the same time, having high expectations kept me out of trouble that lot's of young girls (and boys) around me were falling prey to in front of my eyes.

I had to realize as I grew up, that tv was not a realisitic reflection of life or what to expect from it. Roll Eyes

Quote:

I have an unhealthy obsession with Coronet instructional films from the late 1940s-50s. "Drop and cover!".

I'm not obsessed with them, but those movies are cute. Grin

Christmas Shopping: So, my husband and I went to the mall today. I was insistant that he purchase a new outfit. He is very particular and I hate shopping with him. Although, I figured I'd be patient and wait all day if I had to. But he couldn't find anything that he liked, and we left the mall with only a shirt, a hankercheif and earmuffs. Angry

He really needs new jeans (and I admit, he did try on a lot) but he didn't find any that he liked. Tomorrow, we'll try the other mall. Tongue

It's so funny (not ha ha funny, but frustrating funny) because I can go into just about any store and come out with something. I've never seen someone so picky in my life. Embarrassed

Other: We rented "The Hangover", it was pretty funny!

Oh, and the manager at the video store said that he would give me the "This Is It" stand up cut out after the DVD's release. Somehow I doubt it because when I worked in retail, we always had to send that sort of stuff back to the company. Anyway, if I do get it, I'll try to sell it on eBay. My husband said that I should keep it but I'm a 34 year old woman. I'm too old to have posters and stuff like that around... regardless of who's likeness it is. Tongue

It was about 42 degress at the time which doesn't sound cold,

You're right, 42 degress doesn't sound that threatening. 42 degrees, now that's a whole 'nother story. Roll Eyes

How dissapointed am I that Captain EO is being shown again at Disney Land. Seeing that movie was the only reason that I ever wanted to go there.

Then you're better off just getting the movie, eh? The happiest place on Earth is crowded enough already without haters.

If I lived there I would go though. Embarrassed

My pass expires in February. Perhaps I'll go in your place. Roll Eyes

Nice pix of the neighbourhood, by the way. I wish to God I could take some around where I live. It's insane.
And my family puts fake poinsettias in our flower bed every year. Real ones don't fare well in SoCal...or anywhere else, really. Roll Eyes

Daily Activity: Did lot's of cleaning. Sometimes I just get in a mood where I want to clean everything, I was even cleaning at the hotel even though it was a pretty nice place. Anyway, I cleaned the fridge and my bathroom. As I was organizing the kitchen I decided that I really need to get some organizational shelves. I found what I wanted on the container stores website, but I'll hold off on ordering until after Christmas.

Speaking of Christmas: Another gift arrived today. I had to open it because I didn't think ahead. I ordered a champagne gift basket for my husband and I. He likes champagne but only buys it on special occasions. We even have some in the cupboard but he won't touch it, so I bought some. Only thing is, it included Godiva truffles. I can't keep those out, so I had to put them in the refridgerator. Because of that, I'm imagining that he knows it's a gift basket, but he hasn't let on. I told him not to touch the chocolates though. He rarely eats chocolates, but just seeing them made him want them. Tongue

It'll be interesting to see if he'll wait.

So, I wrapped the champagne basket minus the truffles and I really like the job that I did. I hot glued ribbon that I had to the box. My husband said that it looks professional.

New Years: Found a party that seems like it may be lot's of fun. It's at another hotel but all of the rooms are booked. Embarrassed

I asked if there was a cancellation list but was told that I'd just have to check everyday. Doesn't sound like fun, but if I can get a room that way, it'll be worth it.

Well, I'm off to finish my egg nog spiked with a bit of vodka and call it a night.

Oh, and my cake that I baked yesterday turned out to be disgusting. It was a butter pecan flavored cake. A flavor that I'd never tried before or even knew that anyone made. Huh

I love butter pecan ice cream, but the cake...uh, no. Tongue

I'm glad that I didn't like it though. Since I'm still trying (somewhat) to watch my calories, it all worked out. Wink

Excellent job on the wrapping! I agree with your husband, it looks very professional.

As for cake, I can't say that I care much for any cake that isn't just plain chocolate.

Okay, I'll make an exception for chocolate beet cakes, too. But they taste just like chocolate cake, so I guess that's cheating to consider it different. Grin

Catching up - I love all those earrings! I have to modify them if I buy them that big because my neck is too short. But I love big, flashy earrings. I wanted to make Christmas earrrings from ornaments as well but I haven't found any that are light enough and fit me in proportion to my short neck and stature.

Quote:

we drove around viewing the decorated houses and took pictures from the car

I completely forgot about this "tradition" when I lived in CA. I miss that. Well, I never thought I'd say this but I miss CA even the damn valley! Uhm...gonna stop before I start crying.

Quote:

I've gained a lb or 2, which I'm not happy about, but at least I can get back to my workouts. Amazingly when I work out, I make absolute sure not to go crazy with my eating. I hate and refuse to be on a good cycle of working out and blowing it because of reckless eating habits.

Mmm.hmmm...Kicked myself for that in the past.

Omg! I was going to pull myself away from this screen and get those presents of my dad's wrapped! Thanks for reminding me.

Back from wrapping!

I'm glad I don't have that problem. Hub always comes back with two pairs of pants, 2 pairs of jeans and 2-4 shirts. I'm glad that he has an alright taste. He's a classic casual so it's easy for him. It's not just his taste it's also the only style I can see him pulling off.

My earrings are jumbled into boxes too small for them that I can't find half the time, in various jewelry boxes, and hanging off the back of an old wooden folding chair. Well, that does have its charm but I think I know what I want for next year's birthday or Christmas.

Kittennoodlesoup: Thanks for the compliment on my wrapping job and yeah, if it still tastes like chocolate, it's cheating. Grin

But anyway, what is beet cake, is it exactly how it sounds? Huh

And while I'm @ it with the questioning...I've always wondered, where did you come up with the name "Kittennoodlesoup"? Cool

Hmmm...I'd never thought about long or short necks being a factor until yesterday. Trisha mentioned something about that. I guess that could be why I like huge earrings, I have a long neck. However, I think that long earrings are good because they're more visible when you have big hair too.

I didn't know it was a tradition...I guess that explains why there were others out last night doing it too. Tongue

Ugh...after my very first trip to LA (don't think I've been to the valley though) I was very depressed to be back home in Pittsburgh. I used to play "California Dreamin'" a lot during that time. Undecided

Anyway, I hope you don't cry. (((hugs)))

Actually now, I'd like to live somewhere around where you are Denmark, Sweden, Switzerland... I heard that everyone that lives there seems to be really happy. I'd just be too afraid of standing out to live there. Embarrassed

Daily Activity: Woke up @ noon. Had a protein shake. Made a few eBay purchases. Posted and responded to comments on Facebook. Checked the mail...disappointingly, my cat's charms didn't come today. Although, I still haven't found a charm collar for them anyway. Maybe they don't make them. Undecided

Later, I'm going to meditate, do some reading, exercise and watch some movies that arrived from Netflix. Geeze, I get to plan out my entire day. Is it obvious that my husband isn't home? Grin

He had to go away today, but will be back tomorrow.

Christmas: My husband couldn't wait to open presents. I suggested that we open only one gift and of my choosing. He agreed and he opened the chess set that I bought him....or us. He's been trying to get me to learn how to play for years. I was hoping he would like it. It wasn't super expensive like some I saw, but it's pretty nice and matches our home decor. He says he really likes it and he taught me the basics of the game. We played but I felt bad for him as I was confused at times. I think I'll practice playing on yahoo games so he doesn't have to deal so much with my inability.

Then, I told him that he could open another gift, the gift basket. He said that he knew right away it was food, but of course he was wrong. He was suprised when he saw the bottle of dom, but he doesn't want to open it until NYE, which is fine with me.

So then, he convinced me to open his gifts to me. I pretty much knew what I was getting though. I got another iPod and this one is actually cooler than I thought. It's super skinny, so I was afraid I'd break it at first but it seems sturdy. Anyway, it doesn't need speakers and it shows and takes videos. It also has 4 times the capacity of my old one.

I also got an iTunes gift card and a gift certificate to Ritz camera. Huh

I didn't quite understand the latter one, but he wants me to pick out my own camera. Huh

I know absolutely nothing about technology, but I'll do as he says. I'm sure he won't let me buy a piece of junk.

I thought that I was getting a new computer too but didn't. I don't need one anyway, as mine is only about a year and a half old. However, my husband keeps talking about the "new technology" which is why I thought I was getting a replacement today. Tongue

Anyway, it was fun. I also tried making my very first ginger bread house today and it was a total disaster! It kept collapsing. At first, I was so frustrated...like really. I kept thinking, if kids can do this, so can I! Angry

When my husband looked at the house and laughed, my first instinct was to be embarrased, but I quickly realized that it was okay to laugh at myself. I mean come on, it's a friggin' ginger bread house, nothing serious. Roll Eyes

It also made me feel good when he ate it anyway.

Hopefully, tomorrow we'll still go on our movie and Chinese dinner outing. My husband isn't feeling well (not from food poisoning Tongue

) , he felt bad yesterday too. He may be coming down with a cold. If so, I'm okay with staying in. I'm a happy girl.

Oh, ooh, I forgot. I also got my first tree ornament today. My BIL and his wife sent it to us. I'm so excited about it

!
