While roaming in a daze through Wal-Mart today, I was roused from my lathargic state by the high pitched, excited squeel of a little girl. "Mommy! I want to go to Christmas!" she said, as she stared in awe at the glistening display of trees, ornaments, bows, lawn ornaments, and wrapping paper.
There's something so authentic about the innocence of children during the holidays. Even though I'm all grown up, I still get a giddy, yippie-skippie feeling when I see the first signs of Christmas popping up in shopping marts. As a matter of fact, my mom and I were just talking about the new Christmas cookie recipes that we want to try. It's hard to believe that Halloween hasn't even arrived, yet Mr. Clause is already knocking on the door. Trick-or-Santa?
This weekend proved to be full of simple delights: time with friends, late night conversation with Chris and Kami, good times rocking out to High Maintenance, Sunday morning lazies, and even a jog. It seems that Sunday night has quickly crept up on me again....

Again, some beautiful photos, though it is sad to see the leaves change from the gorgeous oranges and yellows to brown.
Found an interesting blog, though it will burst your Jon and Kate bubble. It's truth breeds hatred and is at blogspot also.
My Kate and I had a good talk about it. "What does exploitation mean?" "What a child labor law?" It's quite interesting.
giddy yippee skippy feeling and I want to go to Christmas -great phrases! Miss you!
