Yeah, it’s been a week since I’ve last given this thing the time of day. It’s been a very busy week of basketball and more basketball and non-bloggity type things that otherwise are not blog friendly and shouldn’t be included on blogs. But, lately I’ve decided that as much as a blog will attempt to call out to you to write on it and give it the attention it feels it deserves, it can be just as gratifying and releasing not to put anything on it at all and neglect it for a few days as it is to be frivolous and free spirited with it and blog things you later wish you hadn’t. Shamefully, here I go because the thing is once again calling out to me.

I’m really really trying to catch the Christmas spirit right now. Yesterday was a great start as I had birthday cake with Finn and family, but I must now attempt to keep that spirit going and not let it fall to the normalities and depressing woes that accompany a regular work week. Armed with egg nog, jingle bells, fake snow and carols galore, I’ve been sneaking around in search of the spirit that seems to be greatly eluding me for the moment. So far, the only thing I’ve been able to successfully capture at this juncture in the hunt is a cold, but I’m more than willing to be persistent.

My next step is going to a mall, hunting down the Santa and feeding him this Christmas list that I have which might, just might, help me to capture the Christmas spirit.

1. A new cell phone AKA the one I ordered over a week ago to come in. I really miss my Finn texting!!!

2. Snow!!!! The sticky kind, not the icy kind. I want to go sledding and make a snowman and have snowball fights….yeah, I’m really still just a kid.

3. The movie Ratatouille. I’ve not seen it yet, but I’ve heard it’s super.

4. To go to a Preds game at least once before the year ends.

5. The ability and the means to buy Christmas presents for special friends and family members.

6. To get over this darned cold!!!

There. That’s pretty much the gist of what I want. 

Oh, if any of you happen to catch the Christmas spirit (or already have it), please break off a little piece for me.:)
