It's the Christmas season and I have the "Holiday Blahs." As much as I love Christmas, I am ambivalent about it this year. Perhaps it's because I'm feeling rather broke, saving money for Ireland. The idea of shopping fills me with dread, however. I don't look forward to buying things. I can't stand shopping for my husband. He buys everything for himself, so there's nothing left for me to buy. And everything I buy for the niece, she never uses or she loses, so I'm unmotivated to spend much money on her. Not to mention that she ran our cellphone bill up to $250.00. No, I'm not inclined to spend a lot of money on her this Christmas.
I am wearing a holiday sweatshirt today to try to get into the mood. I am also going to start going through my Christmas sock collection. Maybe that will help.
My three gratitudes for the day are
1. I am grateful for our fireplace. I love having a warm fire on these chilly nights.
2. I am grateful for my current housecleaning company. They are reliable even if they are expensive. (White liberal guilt aside....)
3. I am grateful to the person who fixed the printer at work today -- it broke down; it was so frustrating.

Random Musings
I think I only gained perhaps 2 pounds over Thanksgiving, but that is 2 pounds too many. I need to be careful in the upcoming weeks, especially as the holidays draw near.
The only movie I've seen recently is Beowulf. I saw it in the 3d version, which was interesting. I'd love to see a "making of" movie to see how they generated some of the stunts.
My 3 gratitudes:
1. I am grateful for the YMCA's track. They keep the temperature at a constant 68, which is perfect for walking. Not too cold and not too hot.
2. I am grateful for the cold weather. I so hate the heat.
3. I am grateful for crystal light drink mix packets. I seem to be living on them ever since the surgery. Sometimes I miss soda, but crystal light more than makes up for it.

Fun links
Two fun links that were recently pointed out to me:
1. Free Rice -- a vocabulary test that feeds the starving
2. RPG Motivational posters
Enjoy!
P.S. I think I gained 3 pounds. I know I had too much Turkey.
