Funny Home Video

I felt that this was worth sharing. It's from Thanksgiving, when Scout was nervously watching this stuffed Tiger every time she walked by it. My sister, April, and I decided to capitalize on that and capture the hilarity on film.

Wind

Note to self: Buy more earplugs. Lack of sleep on a windy night makes Kim a tired girl.

I'm off to the Huntington Library and Botanical Gardens to hang out with Eliz. Should be a fun day.

Aaron is fishing with some buddies. If they end up catching anything, he'll have a fun day, too.

Hopefully Scout doesn't get blown away.

Happy Scout Day

One year ago today we brought home this loveable mutt. :)

Ahhhh.

Finally in my new comfy pajama pants and slippers, with my feet up and a fire going. This has been a stellar Christmas.

Please, Christmas, don't be late!

One of my favorite Christmas songs is still The Chipmunk Song. You know, the one that says "we can hardly stand the wait, please Christmas don't be late"? 

I remember when I was a kid, it felt like Christmas could never come fast enough. Time seemed to actually slow down after the hoopla of my November birthday and Thanksgiving, just to taunt me with the nearness of Christmas.

Aaron has this theory that when you're young, time goes by slowly because it's so relative to how long you've been perceiving time. I'm really starting to believe that. Every year it seems like the time between Thanksgiving and Christmas gets shorter and shorter. I'm just now starting to feel like it's "Christmas time."

I have other friends who think that it goes by more quickly as an adult because of all the responsibilities; presents, decorations, celebrations...

Whether it's one or the other or a mix of the two, I definitely feel the effect this year. I still listen to that Christmas song, but it seems more whimsical now if only because I would rather say "please Christmas, slow your roll."

TGIF.

Happy Friday. Enjoy.

Nor Cal

Things I love about Nor Cal...
1. It really doesn't matter what you wear
2. Playing board games almost every night
3. Wrasslin' and throwing things at siblings and cousins
4. My "bonus" family... to be utterly cheesy, I've got the best of both worlds.

Goodnight, moon.
