Thursday Thoughts

Ramblings of a Suburban Mom

 

- Christmas is already over folks! I hope everyone, whether you celebrate Christmas or not, had a fantastic day yesterday! We traveled from our house, to N's mom's, to my parent's, to my grandparents and R was spoiled mightly along the way. I'm so thankful we have such a wonderful extended family, and I loved being able to see so many of them yesterday!

- N and I didn't exchange gifts yesterday since we're going to wait for the after-Christmas sales. I'm eying a Paperwhite Kindle (since R killed mine last week), the Naked 2 Palette (THAT R WILL HOPEFULLY NOT MURDER FOR A THIRD TIME!!!), and some new Uggs. Or maybeee two new pairs of Uggs. Because god knows that's exactly what I need!

- Right now I really want to take down all the Christmas decorations, especially our horrific fire hazard of a dead tree, but I have no motivation. Maybe tomorrow...

 

- We got my car back from the body shop on Monday and she looks fabulous! They also gave us a can of the extra paint they used which was really nice. Unfortunately she is misfiring like crazy and is pretty much un-driveable. We've been using N's Honda which is 1) tinyyy and 2) grosss so I'm hoping he can get my car fixed ASAP.

 

- I finally finished The Brothers Karamazov a few days ago and all I have to say is "wtf Dostoyevsky?!?!" I spent like 750 pages getting close to those characters and you ended it like that?! Apparently, "Dostoyevsky intended it to be the first part in an epic story titled The Life of a Great Sinner, but he died less than four months after its publication" so I forgive him I suppose. But I still feel totally ripped off about that epilogue. Now it's time to dive into another classic!
