I have a guilty pleasure confession - I love Judge Judy. I know! I used to make fun of Hubby for watching it and now I'm hooked. Ya'll! I just can't believe that there are that many people who would actually go on TV and air their grievances. Pretty much every case is the same. It's usually a girl suing a guy (or vice versa) for a loan they made that never got paid back. The defendent 100% of the time says, "It was not a loan. It was a gift." And the people are so stupid! I know that's ugly, but wouldn't you watch some episodes before going on the show and learn what works and what doesn't? So there you go - I highly recommend it for some laughs.
On another note, I can't believe that 2008 is almost over. This year just flew by. I plan on taking some time this weekend to do some reflecting. I'm not going to think about things I didn't do. I want to remember all the wonderful things God allowed to happen to me. Don't worry! I'll share some of the highlights!
By the way, Gym Trainer said I rocked it tonight. I promptly asked him if he meant I rocked it like a rock star. I think I lost some cool points.

Who's in the "House"?
It's been a while... Christmas is definately over. I was on a serious festivity high and believe you me, I have come tumbling down. I can only sustain the EXCITED ABOUT EVERY LITTLE THING for so long! That's what I do - I get super excited and wear myself slap out. So, right now I have a little of the after Christmas blahs. But don't worry, New Year's is right around the corner and I'll be super pumped about that.
Little update on my TV watching: After years of declaring "I tried to watch House once and couldn't get into it", I have done a 180! Ya'll, it is so good! I DVR'd a marathon and I am loving, loving, loving it. Unfortunately, work is getting in the way of my watching the 12 episodes I have recorded.
Speaking of New Years, I'm curious about what ya'll will be doing? Leave a little post and share your plans!

Merry Christmas Eve
I'm at work - seriously! Dad makes us all come in on Christmas Eve because we have clients open. The goal is to stay till 12:00 before we all head down to Granddaddy's. Usually, Dad gets antsy about this time and starts hurrying us out the door - I'm still waiting...
I can't wait to get down to Granddaddy's. It is my most favorite day out of the entire year. Sister's kids are so precious and I LOVE getting to watch them open their presents. I LOVE seeing all my family. I LOVE getting a little snooze in after I'm so stuffed I can't stand it. Can you tell I LOVE everything about it?
Unbelievably, we will have highs in the upper 60's today. Yes, it's Christmas Eve and you gotta love the South.
Just so you know, today will be the biggest cheat day of all time. I am going to pack it in. Is it possible to eat an extra 17,500 calories in one day to gain 5 pounds. I'm pretty sure I'll be close.
Well, Merry Christmas to all of you who read my humble blog. I pray the Lord will bless you and we'll all see the REAL meaning of Christmas - Happy Birthday Jesus.

A little of this and that
It's been a few days... The weekend was pretty jam packed so here's a few of the highlights:
Saturday - I ran my 2nd 5K. I beat my last time by 2 minutes!!!! After the run, J2 and I shopped a little over on Hwy 280 as we complained about our sore legs and the headaches we had. I would attribute that to the fact that after the run, we promptly got Diet Cokes instead of drinking LOTS of water. I know!!! - it's the addiction.
Late Saturday afternoon - Hubby got home from Atlanta (for good!!!) around 3:00 and we left for my parent's house. We had a little Christmas get-together which was super fun. Sister's kids were precious and too cute opening their presents.
Sunday - Church and then a whole ordeal I don't even feel like getting into and then off to Hubby's sister's house to do Christmas with his Grams. We had a really great time.
Tonight I met with Gym Trainer and now I'm home sitting with Hubby watching some Judge Judy. (Yes, we love us some Judy Judy!)
I can't believe it's almost Christmas!!! I also can't believe I haven't finished my shopping.

How Funky is My Tree
J2 and I went to Sips N Strokes tonight and painted "Funky Tree". You probably won't believe this but it was kind of an ordeal. We had it all planned out. It started at 7 so we decided we'd meet there at 6:30. I was in charge of picking up our Diet Cokes from Jack's.
Quick Sidenote: A Diet Coke from Jack's is my absolute FAVORITE drink in the whole world. I don't know why it's different from every other Diet Coke BUT IT IS!!!
OK, anyway.. I left work in plenty of time, got the drinks and headed that way. I called Hubby so I could hear his sweet voice, promptly passed my turn and went about 15 minutes out of my way. No biggie, I was there in plenty of time. At 6:45, J2 still wasn't there. I called her and she was roaming the Target parking lot looking for her car. (That is also a problem that I have. I ALWAYS forget where I parked.)
J2 got there and got signed in about 6:55. We're still good - THEN! we realize our large Diet Coke's our regular Coke. FOR THE LOVE! So, we hightailed it to the BP, boutght Diet Coke's and did a little switch-a-roo with our cups and ice. We did all that in 7 minutes - pretty good, huh?
This is us before we realized we had a Diet Coke problem.
Here's the first phase of "Funky Tree".
Phase 2:

It's Getting Hot in Here
How can it possibly be this HOT 8 days away from Christmas??? I mean, I don't want it to be super cold or anything, but a nice brisk breeze would be a little nice. Seriously, I have the back door open right now - in December - 8 days away from Christmas!
Gym Trainer gave me the HARDEST workout EVER tonight. I may never walk again. It was about one hour of pure torture where I went from thoughts of passing out, throwing up, hurting Gym Trainer... anything to make it stop. BUT, I survived it and you know they say that anything that doesn't kill you, only makes you stronger!
By the way, I Googled the whole toe cramp thing and basically, I need to drink more water. I drank more today and guess what?? NO TOE CRAMPS! So there...
I best git (that's Southern for I need to go now) and get some presents wrapped and the rest of Christmas cards done. Toodles.

Monday, Monday....
Today was good. Work went by really fast. Before I knew it, it was time for lunch and my trip to The Dollar Tree. Oh yeah, baby. I spent $42 which means I got 42 things!!! I was so excited that I didn't even let the mammoth line get me down. It's just hard to believe that Christmas is only 10 days away. I still have presents to buy, gifts to wrap...
Gym Trainer is all better so we were back in the gym. My workout tonight was brutal. My legs feel like noodles which I guess means I worked out to my full potential. So I feel pretty confident in saying, "I rocked it tonight."
Let me tell you what doesn't rock - my hair. I went for a much needed color Friday afternoon. I went in with mostly dark brown hair with too many highlights of gray and walked out with dark brown hair but with the entire top BLONDE - I kid you not. Oh my heavens. It was terrible. And because I'm so smart, I decided to color it myself last night. In my mind I just knew that all that blonde was going to be magically brown. Oh no, now the entire top of my head looks like a bright copper penny.
No big deal, right? I guess I'll wear a hat for the next 6 weeks. Grief.
One more thing, anybody know anything about toe cramps?? I have this one toe that cramps up about 90.8% of the time when I workout. Maybe I need to google that. Hmm...
