The theme of the past couple of blog posts has been me lying down. Well, it's *really* been the holidays but they start off with me being sleepy, lazy or full. This one is no different.
My face is smushed into my pillow, one of my eyes covered by fluffy-goodness. I actually set an alarm today since I'm meeting someone for lunch. Alarms over the holidays are unneeded. Especially when they're this early to allow for me to be a sloth.
There's a storm a brewing tonight. Luckily, I made no plans so I may just stay in with my mom and mull wine. Before that, I'd really like to get some boxing week shopping in.
Cross your fingers for me that I get a deal! :) Now to get up so I can use both eyes....

Food coma
I think this year has topped all recent Christmases in the amount of food put in my belly. Which means I've found some way to be horizontal since guests left my mom's place at 9ish.
When I was younger it was worse, since sometimes we would have so many people over we would have to make it buffet-style so everyone would fit. It was a ridiculous amount of tasty treats and everything was so good you just couldn't say no. And there were multiple desserts. Not two or three - we're talking seven. And it would mostly be gone by the end of it.
Now that holidays are less zoo-like, food has been scaled back and I've found a way to stay upright. Not this time. Nope. Wine and turkey means yum-tastic sleepiness. Cheesecake means I need to be rolled everywhere.
So once everyone left, this was my view (below) and I stayed that way until I got upstairs to my old bedroom. Need to sleep this off.
And no doubt breakfast will be leftovers. Ah, the magical holiday season! Merry Christmas!

Merriment = Love and exhaustion
I has been on a pretty good run on this thing until the ultimate time-sucker came into play: Christmas. Don't, get me wrong I LOVE (it needed to be capitalized) the holiday to the point where I'm a Christmas nerd. The carols, the decorations, the good will towards men and the general festiveness of it all turns me into a Christmas Nerd, which is amazing.
But throw in everything I have to do along with it means I'm updating this page from my bed.
...
Ok, so I had to stoping updating this post from bed (hence the "...") because I realised I had to meet someone to give her a gift and would be late. So let's continue.
Great news! I got all my Christmas shopping done! Last gift done - woot! I'm now celebrating by watching On Demand TV shows and teared up a bit at an episode of Parks and Recreation from a few weeks ago. Good times!
So to end off this hodge-podge of a post, Christmas festiveness via Instagram.
