YAHOOO! The semester is over!! Not like break is really a break...what a joke. My winterim to do list is so massive that I need to start work now. Since it is the week of Christmas, I plan to have quite a few related true-isms, or trueims, or truisms.
1. I could gorge on all holiday peppermint items: peppermint bark, peppermint fudge, candy cane brownie ice cream, peppermint ice cream, peppermint mochas...the list goes on and on.
2. I ate a truffle for breakfast...whatever, you know you are jealous.
3. Our pre-lit tree is one of the only decorations up in the house...it has no ornaments on it. I think I will put like 5 ornaments on it. I plan to bypass decorating anyway.
5. WHOA, WHOA, WHOA back the f-truck up you say. I know you, I know you LOVE decorating for Christmas. True story, I do. True story, no one ever comes over. Our family members all think it is too far and by the time we can get organized to have people over, everyone always has plans. I have this pipe dream of a party each year. This year I bought paper products for it.
6. I feel asleep reading a book to Emily (Purplicious). I woke up taking about intercoder reliablity.
7. I am getting sick of all of the glamour around Christmas. I am really trying to think about ways to simplfy.
8. I haven't shaved my legs since before Lucy was born. Some call it gross, I am calling it a tribute to my daughter.
9. When Lucy was born, I remember the first moment she looked up at me. She squinted her eyes and glared at me. I remember thinking, "holy shit, she looks mean!" Then i said to myself, "wow, that's MY daughter!"
10. No one in my house sleeps in an "appropriate" place. Our carpets have hit nasty peak. Husband and toddler sleep in family room--she sleeps on the couch, he sleeps in the man chair. The newborn and I bedshare (damn right, I said it).
11. Anytime I hear anyone talk about the University of Kentucky I mutter a bunch of curses under my breath and put a hex on them (I know, it is childish, I told a grudge)
12. Tonight in the car I listened to Ludacris...at volume 20. What is wrong with me? Oh yeah, no kids in the car = what can I do to be like a teenager?
13. I can't buy pop tarts or I will eat the entire box.
14. I finished my first paper on pregnancy loss...now I am trying to get up the courage to do the research.
15. I am mailing Lucy's birth announcements tomorrow...she is 10.5 weeks old...LOL! Yeah whatever. I suck. I admit it.

You're sending birth announcements? You're a champion. I only sent emails.
HA! Well, I send them because I have a small obsession/sickness with cards. Some people like purses, shoes, diamonds...I never claim to be normal!
Congrats on finishing your first paper on that topic... I know it's a tough one for you. And why the grudge against Kentucky? I think this is one I haven't heard yet ;) Miss you as usual
I'm STILL dying to know about the grudge against the U of K!
