grandma got ran over by a reindeer (ok not really,but read this anyway)

well hello there, so we meet again. i've mentioned loving sundays before, but for some reason they always put me in a blogging mood as well. so here i am, on a sunday, blogging for you! enjoy.

first of all i just wanna update everyone who's concerned on my stupid lame-o back. i went to the doctor and had an x ray taken. he said it looks like i most likely have a shattered disk in my lower back and he wanted me to get an mri. i've gotten that done and on monday i will be calling to make a follow up appt with my doctor. hopefully the mri will show something significant and i can get this whole situation done and over with! luckily i've had pain medication to get me through this cause it's been a loooooooong process. it was two weeks just between my doc appt and my mri appt!

/boring stuff

christmas is only 5 days away!!!! can you even believe it?? my roommate decorated our house so it's all festive and cute:

most people put stars or angels on top of their christmas tree-we totally rock the cat in the hat hat


heidi is obsessed with santas


the stockings are hung on the staircase with care



also our kitchen is all lit up with pretty lights, i love it! i'm gonna be sad to see it go away when she takes it all down in march (haha)

i'm totally soaking in every single festive thing i can this year. i participated in the secret santa at work, something i REALLY didn't want to do, but am really glad i did. my classroom is decorated like crazy,and we've been playing every christmas cd we have nonstop since thanksgiving. one of my most FAVORITE things about the holidays(and this will come as a shock to NO ONE) is all the holiday FOOD that comes around. you know how there are certain things you only eat certain times of the year? mine is white chocolate/peppermint anything. it probably my most favorite combination of flavors of all time and i get so excited this time of year when all the companies start coming out with their wc/p covered treats.

as much as i say i hate being cold and i hate winter and i want summer to come back asap, i have to admit that the holidays just seem to make up for all the things i hate. i love them.

speaking of things i LOVE....

i'm leaving for houston in a week :) i've been counting down for this trip for about two months now so it's hard to believe it's actually finally almost here!

i finally get to meet this little face:


and blow bubbles with this little guy:


did i mention that it's gonna be something like 70 degrees??

STOKED.

since i'm in the festive, holiday spirit i will leave you with one of my most favorite chrismas songs of all time. it's not a traditional one, but it's one that i've heard probably 17 million times and i laugh out loud EVERY time i hear it. if you don't laugh then you have no soul and santa should give you worms and hepatitis c in your stocking. merry christmas, everyone!
