My Own Personal Brand of Heroin

Yes..I have an addiction. An addiction that consumes a lot of my dreams at night...yes I have to admit...I dream about Edward. I have now seen the movie 3 times and will start my 3rd round of reading as soon as finals are done. I have concluded that there are subliminal messages in there somewhere! (My oldest friend Emily and I who would obsess over things as teenagers...are now once again obsessing. I feel like I am 14 again!) I need help. Does someone have a cure?

Happy Holidays!

The other day I was talking Lexi on the phone at work and I heard something that I couldn't believe: Christmas music. I am not even sure if it was Halloween yet. I thought...it's not even cold yet how can she listen to Christmas music. (The thought hadn't come yet that that in some places in the world, that it isn't cold at Christmas with 6 inches of snow outside. Believe me I am still in denial and I think it's still September. Yet, I am trying to cope and I have now started to deal with that fact and it makes me dead inside...very sad I know..but dad has just offered to take me hog hunting with him. He says that will make me feel cold...hmmm not really what I was going for dad...but thanks!)

Anyway...because I want to be just like Lexi (she even getting her CDL...very impressive in my book...she's such a Texas woman) I have decided to bust out the Christmas music. I was going through and picking out my favorites which is hard cause I have a lot. But I have decided to list my top 10 favorite Christmas songs. And here they are...in no particular order:

1. God Rest Ye Merry Gentelmen - Bare Naked Ladies with Sarah McLachlan
Nobody can rock it like the BNL!

2. Carol of the Bells -
I must love this song because I have 10 different verisions of it. I think Mannheim Steamroller's is my fav because it's the one they play on Home Alone...one of my favorite Christmas movies.

3. Christmas in Dixie - Alabama..it always makes me cry

4. Jingle Bell Rock - Bobby Helms My first grade teacher Miss Rutherford taught us the lyrics and I have never forgotten them and think of her ever time I hear it. I should tell her that next time I see her...I always see her at the grocery store these days....

5. Jingle Bells - Barry Manilow
This is the funnest song to sing ever!-especially during rush hour and as animated and loudly as possible! After all the best way to spread Christmas Cheer, is singing loud for all to hear!

6. Last Christmas -Wham!
I have no explanation...I am sorry I just love it...don't judge me...

7. Mary, Did you know? Kenny Rogers and Wynonna
It's just a beautiful song and they do it really well, very moving.

8. Rocking Around the Christmas Tree- Brenda Lee
It reminds me of my mom.... and Home Alone

9.Where Are You Christmas? Faith Hill
I have never seen the movie it's from, but it's is also a good one to sing loudly to...and maybe cry a little as well. ( And if you think crying to music to abnormal...don't worry it's genetic...just read my sisters latest post entitled:I Need A Good Cry)

10. Honorable Mention: Baby It's Cold Outside - Buddy the Elf and Jovey
Ok so maybe it isn't like a real part of the movie but she has a great voice and it's my favorite part of the movie!

Ok so there you have ! I am now in the official Christmas spirit! Even if I have no snow!

I am so ashamed!

I tried so hard not to like it. But it just kept creeping up on me and suddenly out of no where it was there. I would try to resist because I knew I couldn't like it. It is so wrong to like it. AND then to purchase it...it was such a struggle...I couldn't resisit...I BOUGHT THE NEW BRITNEY SPEARS'S SONG! I know...I should be publicly flogged!

And just for fun...

I am alive!

Tara called me tonight and asked why I hadn't been blogging...well I have just been busy. Well she has to and still manages to blog so I better get with it! So to sum up the last few weeks, Amanda visited in early October...

That is she and Cait...with Cait looking someone stoned....hmmm

I went to 2 Halloween parties one at Lexi's house...
and one at Jamie's house...

Then I went to Utah for the weekend. It was fabulous to see all my friends and family..but I am glad I don't live there anymore! It's like they say... you can never go back!

I am sorry for being such a slacker! I will try to do better!
