Missing the snow....!!!

Can you believe today is the 1st of December? I can't!!! What is it about the Christmas holidays that puts everyone, including myself in such a great mood? I LOVE the sentiment of the holidays; the gathering of everyone...family and friends, the month long celebrations and the on-going Christmas cheer.

I LOVE IT!!!!

I woke up this morning to a phone call that I absolutely had to take at 8:30. From there, I tried to get back to sleep but only got to snooze land. I was coming to life and realizing that today is the first of December....the true beginning of Christmas celebrations. This put a smile on my face. From this topic my mind wondered on to my count down for my bbbbbbff's arrival on the 19th...but I won't get to see her till the 26th.....only 25 days to go. That is 3 weeks and 4 days......ahhhhhhhhhhh!!!! SO FRIGGIN EXCITED!!!

Every time I walk into my parent's house, I see their brilliantly fabulous Christmas tree which also puts a smile on my face. For a family that was never really into Christmas....I certainly love it more than any other holiday in the year.

As you can see, I am in a chipper mood. Although I am struggling with some pain both good and bad...I am not taken aback by it. We all know how much I love the post workout pain...but that being combined with the post massage pain...not the best combo. My upper back, shoulders and neck...not in good shape. I know it will pass!

I had an amazing sleep last night. Let me back track a bit. Yesterday being my day off from the bar....enables me to have some much needed quiet time. I had Thai food for dinner followed by a half bag of chocolate covered almonds while watching "My brother is an idiot" and some other movie that I can't remember for the life of me because I was snoozing while it was playing. I was in bed by 11:30. Good times! Man...people take sleeping for granted. I hear people say; screw sleeping...sleep when you are dead! Ha.....are they insane? I get on the average about 5-6 hours sleep. I deal with that. I seem to function fairly with it. But my goodness....when I get 8 or more hours of sleep....I feel like I fell off a cloud.  This kind of sleep happens 2 days a week. I can't complain!

Have a big night ahead of me....Karaoke night at the bar! The dude whom I was supposed to celebrate his birthday with yesterday....bailed on those plans. We will instead be celebrating it tonight at my bar. YAY!!

Happy December 1st to everyone! LOL
