10 Statements

The idea for this blog came from a friend of mine, Susan. I was catching up on reading some other blogs which included hers and decieded to copy her, just for fun.

So, here I go:

1. This is the first time that I'll not be home for Christmas Eve or Christmas Day in my entire life.

2. Gaithersburg is not the wilderness, contrary to popular belief of many DC city dwellers I know. Today I visited our mall for the first time learned that we have an Ann Taylor. Now I know I can happily live here.

3. When one is aware more fully of his or her own failings and readily admits them, forgiveness of others is much easier.

4. The anticipation of knowing one will work more than 12 hours on Christmas Eve makes one recall how much they must really love God or just be crazy!

5. The excitement of waiting to give presents/ recieve them is usually better than the actually unwrapping moment (because often you find those fuzzy socks don't look as exciting on ____ as they did in the store).

6. Three tired pastors on a Monday following the third week of Advent= the definition of zany.

7. I have wanted a one of those soak your feet electric machines for 10 years now and have yet to recieve it on any occasion. I think I'm going to have to break down and buy it for myself asap.

8. Never set one's phone down at a party. It might grow legs and disappear before the night is over. (Yes, I've lost my cell phone AGAIN).

9. Did I mention I'm not going to be home on Christmas Day this year? (I will be with my boyfriend's family, though which is special in its own way :)

10. Last, but not least: when buying home decor, never be afraid to buy more than 400 thread count sheets (thanks, Amy). You will complement yourself for such a great purchase every night.
