Today was the. most. unproductive. day. I've had all week.
I got up late. Ate breakfast well after noon. Didn't shower. Didn't even get out of my pajamas. But I did fix my hair, because you never know who you might meet.
Then I watched a Friday Night Lights marathon - where have I been?? It's such a good show. Now I'll have to waste even more time in the new year catching up on all five seasons.
Then I got caught up in watching Christmas themed movies. On the Hallmark channel. I laughed and cried through all of them.
First was Let It Snow.
Then, A Christmas Kiss.
After that, a real tearjerker, Christmas in Conway.
All I Want For Christmas.
And to wrap it all up, Holiday Road Trip.
I am surprised at the actors that were in many of these movies - from big stars to people that made us (yes, us, as Ed was a captive viewer) say, "Hey - I haven't seen him in forever." or "Didn't we just see her in..."
People like Alan Thicke, Candace Cameron Bure, Elisabeth Rรถhm, Jerrika Hinton (one of my least favorite Grey's Anatomy cast members), Tom Arnold, Stuart Pankin, Patrick Muldoon, George Hamilton, Shelley Long, Wink Martindale (game show host!), Cheri Oteri, Mary-Louise Parker, Mandy Moore, and Andy Garcia - with a southern accent.
So yeah, add up all the flicks. Lots of hours of sitting today. Lots of TV. But I laughed and I cried, and I felt nostalgic, and I'm excited for Christmas, and I'm looking forward to seeing my family and friends, and I can't wait to make more memories.
Now it's time to get back to my Christmas menu planning. I can multi-task, you know.

I love the Christmas sloth. Where did you find him or her?
A day in jammies, most rejuvenating.
You might have to put some on to go see "Philomena", though. Terrific movie, excellent cast.
Not holiday themed, but involves several journeys and a lot of driving (picturesque!) back roads. You would like.
BELLEDOG: Isn't the Christmas sloth awesome?? I found him on Google images when I was looking for a sloth picture - who knew there'd be such a perfect one? LOL
Haven't heard of Philomena - will look into it.
Have a very merry, sloth-like Christmas!
