No school
Right now my house of dreams is one where no more homework or studying is necessary. Chris does SO much studying, and I wish I could do something to help him out, but I really can't. All I can do is do my own thing while he does his own thing. And I can do that. But I do wish we got to hang out more, you know?
Today I found a list of Christmas activities on a blog. They were such fun ideas. The idea was to put them in an advent calendar, then do the activities each day.
I thought, "I have an advent calendar! I should do that!" But then I realized we probably wouldn't have time. But oh well. Christmas 2012, get ready for some FUN. These are the ideas she wrote:
Go Ice Skating
Watch It's a Wonderful Life, make spiced cider.
Exchange gifts
Make Christmas Cookies for friends.
Find Mistletoe, hang it in our house and kiss under it.
Address and Mail Christmas Cards
Go to Borders and Pick out one new Christmas CD.
Go to The Nutcracker
Handel's Messiah Sing Along
Leave out wooden shoes on December 5
Go to the Oakland Temple to see the Nativity (for me I would substitute Oakland with Salt Lake)
Make Thick Hot Chocolate and Homemade Marshmallows
Host a Christmas Sweater Party
Put up a ribbon sash for Christmas cards
Donate canned goods
Give neighbors a present
Put up a wreath
Make a Gingerbread house
Make a popcorn garland
Make hot chocolate and read The Best Christmas Pageant Ever
Sing (or listen) to favorite Christmas songs
Drive around to see neighborhood lights
Go out and see public light display
Read Christmas story from the Bible and the Book of Mormon
Open a gift (new stocking or pajamas or pillowcase)
Make a family traditional dessert
Eat out at a festive restaurant
Go to a seasonal movie
Tell stories of childhood Christmas around the fire
Have a romantic candlelit dinner by the Christmas tree
Make decorative sugar cookies
Sign up to purchase gifts for a needy child
Host a Christmas dessert party
Write out a Christ-centered goal to start early for the New Year
Have a movie party (classic Christmas clips)
Go to a Christmas Concert
Attend City tree lighting event
Have a full traditional breakfast while listening to Christmas music

New blogs I like
I sort of hate blogs that make me want to replace every item of clothing I have, but oh well. Actually these don't make me feel TOO much like that, but a little bit.
This one is by a cute girl at BYU-Idaho.
And this one is also by a cute girl at some school.
So there you go.
They also make me want to grow my hair out, but I need to just keep reminding myself of the fineness of my hair and resist that urge.
