10 Confessions- Christmas Version

Because I haven't updated you all on anything aside from Harry Potter in the last, oh, FOUR MONTHS,

I'm going to use this random burst of insomnia for random info you may or may not find exciting/useful/worth your time/inspiring/rambly.

1) Fenway is fat now.

Or, according to the vet he is.  I personally think he looks great.  

(My husband reminded me that I am not a vet.)

He's put on a little winter blubber, like his mom, but that's normal for all species, am I right?  

He still has a clearly defined waist... making him different from his mom...

which leads to me to...

2) I got a bit fat again.

Oooops.

I will work on this starting January 2012.  

(I'm making too many cookies to consider working on this now.  

nd yes, I acknowledge that this is an excuse, but I'm a realist.)

Just in time for the end of the world.  

Gotta work on my cardiovascular health and stamina for the zombie apocalypse. 

3) I haven't touched my "fancy camera" in a really long time.

Hence the lack of photos proving how un-fat Fenway is.  

I'm just intimidated by my bigass Canon.  There, I said it.  

I feel like I'll never figure it out.  

And all my pictures are yellow/pixelated/blurry/of one of my fingers.

4) This week, I actually considered giving birth to a real-life baby.

But I got over it really fast.

  And I never want to talk about that time of my life again.

5) I bought a bunch of stuff.

We're talking, like, grown-up things.

Couches.

Flat-screens.

And Christmas decor.

Serious grown-up things.

6) I also totalled my car at the end of September.

And bought a new one!  A Prius!  Grown-up things!

I now play "The MPG Game" while driving 

which will probably get me into another accident sometime soon.

I got charged with reckless driving 

and have since learned a bunch of sweet facts 

about driving and such from my online "safe driver" course.

(Safe driver course fact: You're not doing anything right.)

My charge was reduced to improper driving so not a huge deal.

7) I discovered Crocs.

I was a devout anti-Croc person 

because good Lord, they're so ugly,

until I put on one of those Crocsthatlooklikeaballetflat.

And OMGGG, how comfortable.

I don't want to remove them from my feet because 

1) They're so comfy, and 

2) They make my feet stink.

8) I am so ready for Christmas! But at the same time, not.

I haven't bought anything for Mr. D yet, but the other gifts are all bought and wrapped except for two.

Some of the cookies are made and ready to be piped on Friday and flooded on Saturday.  Working on another batch tomorrow.

Debating whether to send out Christmas cards (see #9.)

I just want to be on vacation!

9) I don't really see the point of a Christmas card if there's no photo on it.

Those are the ones I hang up when I get them.  This year I just have cards (bought for 70% off on Dec. 26 2009) without even so much as a photo to tuck inside.  So I'm debating spending $40 on stamps to send people a card that says our names...

10) I don't know my neighbors' names.

While trying to make  list of how many cookies I'd need, I listed the neighbors who deserved cookies.  On the list were:

"Crazy people"

"Massachusetts people"

"Tea Party people"

"(Dog name)'s owners"

-- and these are the neighbors who deserve cookies!

It astounded me how few of my neighbors' names I knew.  

I could list their dogs' names though...

So there you have it, folks.  My recent life in a nutshell.

I promise I've been doing things around the house, but because of #3, I can't prove it and therefore can't blog about it.  I'm working on it, people.

Anyone else confess to one of the above?  

Or something even more interesting?
