Christmas!

I should be studying for finals. I have a hard time focusing. I find that when I spend too much time in front of a computer screen I just want to goof off. But I am unwilling to print 30 pages of notes (and I am out of printer ink anyway), so on the computer I remain.

It is almost Christmas. I love Christmas. My tree is up, my yard is decorated (complete with 4' tall inflatable penguin!), my presents waiting to be wrapped. I wish I could get more. I love giving presents. I spend a lot of time deciding what to get those that I love. I haven't actually gotten anything for those closest to me. And its not just because I am broke. I have to be the one that gives the perfect gift. The one you didn't know you wanted. I love to see joy on people's faces at Christmas.

This Christmas is the first I am spending with my new husband. It will be strange to be with his family at Christmastime. He hates Christmas. Hates it. It is hard for me to forgive him for that sometimes. All I ask of him at Christmas is that he tries. I put in extra hard work and effort to make sure he enjoys it.

Meanwhile, this is what is on my Christmas list:

LL Bean slippers

Shiseido Skin Care

iPod car adaptor

And these boots
