apropos of nothing

A couple of weeks ago, I used the search feature on my DVR to find all shows that include the words "Christmas," "Frosty," "Rudolph," "Charlie Brown," "Home Alone" and "Santa" and will be coming on in the near future. I then scheduled each of these shows to record at their scheduled times. It's neat because when I get home in the evening, I always have something fun and Christmasy to watch. Last night it recorded Home Alone and A Charlie Brown Christmas while we watched Fred Claus - dear internet, my husband will likely be considering homicide before this season is over.

Huzzah!


Another thing, I LOVE hot chocolate AND eggnog SO. VERY. MUCH. but when it comes down to it I always go with the eggnog on account of the whiskey. It JUST occurred to me, TODAY - after 23 years of life - that you can also spike hot chocolate. WTF?! This solves a very troublesome dilemma for me: when I want to get a little tipsy I will drink hot chocolate. When I want to get hella noggy I will drink egg nog. PROBLEM SOLVED!

A few weeks ago, my mom went out and bought herself an xbox 360 and it came with Kung Fu Panda and Indiana Jones. This morning when I called her she was very upset because she could not find her her Kung Fu Panda game and she had looked everywhere for it and she was sure that someone had borrowed it without asking and "this is always what happens when I get something for myself" and so on. This afternoon when I was walking to the parking garage she called me. This is how our conversation went:

mama: "Guess what!? Zoe found Kung Fu Panda!"

me: "Wow, mom, that's great! Where did she find it?"

mama: "Well, Indiana Jones and Kung Fu Panda come in the same case, they are just double sided"

me: "what?"

mama: "Indiana Jones was laying on the coffee table and when she flipped it over it was Kung Fu Panda."

me: "I love you mama."


Enter another 30 minutes of moment to moment recount of all the places she looked for it, and how she called Blockbuster and everything and now she has it and it was there all the time!

I absolutely adore my mama - SO.EFFING.MUCH.
