Anxious Anticipation

Well, it is Monday again, and just a short five day of work left until we all go on a five day break. (Thank goodness for adult jobs. And thank goodness for not having to work on Christmas Eve.)

I am by no means ready for Christmas in the fact that I haven’t completed any of my Christmas shopping, well except the gifts for my roommates, but that was too easy. But I am hoping with an early work day today, I can make a good dent in what I have left to buy, and all without making too big of dent in my bank account. Yup, this year I am cheap. Sorry.

I have been working on getting my ipod up and running again and I think it is close to what it used to be. I have put 363 songs back on, and I am slowly trying to figure the proper order of my year CD again. I have all of songs, but I really can’t find the order I was happy with. Why didn’t I write it down?!?

Sunday finished out the weekend just as well as we had started it. (Well, minus all of my ipod confusion.)

With a new resolve, and my strong backbone, we had one of the fun-est/funniest Sundays we have had in quite a while. To be honest, I am really looking forward to Friday, and hoping that Jon really comes through for all of us. I am hopeful that it will be a great way to bring in the Christmas holidays and end 2007 on the right note.

Yesterday brought my first viewing of ‘White Christmas’. Now, I know I hate everything, and that you won’t be overly surprised to learn that I wasn’t overly fond of this movie. But I really do like Bing Crosby and I really do like the song White Christmas. Maybe I had just set my expectations too high?

I must give credit to whomever though naming the movie ‘White Christmas’ would be a good idea. It really convinced me that it was about Christmas. But sadly, short a few moments at the end and a finale of singing of White Christmas, the movie had little do with Christmas.

Let me tell you one problem with musicals of this sort. They take the idea of a story, stretch it out, throw in some songs and call it a movie. However, there is little to no character development. I have seriously no idea who the characters were, or what their motivation is. What are even their names? Bob and maybe Betty? But the other sister’s name and Bob’s friend? I have no idea.

I did enjoy the “Sisters” song, and there were all sort of funny dances and funnier matching shoes. And I am sorry to all of you who love the movie; it wasn’t overly bad, just not what I expected. But I did really enjoy the company and the white sauce on the cake.

Excited for:

Time off of work
Some great Christmas parties in the meantime

Waiting for:

The live version of Soeur LeCroix
The three short hours until the end of the day.

Hoping for:

My ipod to return to some sort of normal.
The start of something new
New adventures and maybe some misadventures
