minus & plus

- working out at our creepy complex gym on friday night.

+ husby joining me because it gives me the skeevies.

- no parking at the williamsburg grand illumination last night

+  precious & impromptu time with amelia & allison & jared watching fireworks & eating toffee.

-  leaving my nsync christmas c.d. at work over the weekend. this was a big deal. & a bad one, too.

+  remembering that andrew burned me the elf soundtrack & it was in my car!!!

(+) working in an office where I can listen to nsync christmas & break for sing-a-longs with my boss every now & then.

-  meanies in traffic on the drive in to work this morning.

+  sitting at a stoplight next to a car with a big ol' scruffy dog staring at me from the passenger seat.

-  our tree doesn't smell nearly as christmas tree-y as I'd like it to when I walk in the door...

+  but it sure is pretty. & jared had all the christmas lights on when I got home. christmas cheer!

-  I've been given a less than simple piano accompaniment to play at our church's christmas program. it's sorta kicking my butt, actually.

+  it's so great to have a piece to PRACTICE. butt kicking an' e'rything.

- cramps.

+  ibuprofen. x3.

- giving myself a curling iron hickey this morning in my cramp-induced fog

+ letting people think it's a real one, high-school styyyyle. (or whatever aged kids do that? errr...)

-  the wind tunnel I have to walk through to get into our office every day. totes did not miss that this spring/summer.

+  having all of 1 voicemail once I was blown through the wind tunnel & into my office today. welcome back, off-season.

- addressing christmas cards. boo hiss.

+ our first christmas cards! even if it's just the two of us, we're still a little family.

- office holiday gift exchange.

+ office holiday gift exchange.

- remembering just now that I have to cook food for that tomorrow night.

+ at least I remembered?

husband just jumped off the couch & plopped down on the floor so that I can't see his computer screen.

pretty sure that means some christmas purchasing is going doooowwwwnnnnnn.

he's wearing his new reading glasses = yummmmm.

I'd absolutely risk ruining a christmas present surprise to get a smackaroo from clark kent bethune.

xo, kelsey
