Oh, and...

I watched "Love Actually" last night. I never get tired of it, and am keeping my eye out for a guy who will stand outside my door with a stack of signs declaring his undying love. Any day now.

I also finished decorating my tree today. It is beautiful, with pretty and fancy and tacky ornaments alike, and extra-obnoxious lights. I swear, it looks like a freakin' disco ball. Almost seizure inducing, the lights. But I love it.

Combined, these two mean one thing: The Christmas Season may officially begin.

Excellent.
