Gobble It Up--Don't REad!!

It's a cryin' shame that I have to write this without committing to a larger point to umbrella a smaller one. My technique is becoming quite predictable. Though a smattering of stuff could disrupt the norm, thus I must submit to a stream.

1. Curt and I are embarking into the holiday season with a toddler who seems to 'get it" and who happens to really dig Santa (which is entirely foreign to us as Eli has been known to hide behind the fake trees in the mall to avoid eye contact with the big man). And when we saw him the other day in Portsmouth, NH at the Urban Forestry Center, Levi immediately got to work on getting out "I want a Nerf Blaster". Now that seems like a fairly simple task but LEvi gets to stuttering when he's amped up and anxious and feels like Elijah might start bullying him for air time.
But he got it out and between Mr. and Mrs. Claus and the list of kids from NH, they were able to determine that both my boys are on the 'Good List". Which made me deeply question the Claus' criteria for all things good and bad, not the philosophical juxtoposition between good vs. evil-though I often have to play that card at home to settle disputes amongst the natives, but since nothing is purely BAD I knew my guys would be on some list higher up on the ranking...thus siding with Eli that indeed Sir and Ms. Claus tell all the children the same thing about their presence on the good list. I'm thankful that I don't have to maintain the facade with at least one of my children, in due time Levi will also see through or past the pillowed tummy.

2. When J. Lo fell at the AMA's, I laughed pretty hard.

3. I think that Vodka has a psychedelic property to it but not without the alignment of certain other things, like food in the stomach, rest, weight, experience and hydration efforts.

4. Lady GaGa is pretty much a mess.

41/2. Alicia Keys and Mary J. Blige did well.

5. I love that Robin Quivers has a super huge wine cellar containing many varietals, thousands of bottles.

6. Does anyone need 32 ounces of Nutella? Ever?

7. If you're fat, you should be equally concerned about your aesthetic and your aes (ass). Don't be mad, I used to weigh 298 pounds.

8. It is with great sadness that I report the origin of my achilles injury. Turns out pretty pink 769's are the culprit. MOst likely
I did a reckless job sizing and fitting myself. I am back to my Nike's (with minimal overlay's, low ankle rise, and exceptional cushion, they are epic and my achilles has been on the mend while at work) Praise be.

9. To earn my yams, I shall run 20 miles on Thanksgiving morning. Sadly I'll miss the highly anticipated, over the top, energetic three hour commercial ad also known as the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. Too bad.

10. Watch out for people who piss in your ears.

11. Jermaine, Jaffar, JerMajesty and Tim. It's okay to wonder about that.

12. Phish in Albany and Portland, here we come!!!!!! and possibly Phila tomorrow!!!

Happy Thanksgiving!!!!!!! Happy Birthday, Becca!!!!
Love,
Sarah
