Ok, first, that plan for kicking my ass out of my holiday doldrums? Yeah. *looks sheepish* That hasn't gone so well. I still don't have a tree up, nor have I done any holiday baking, and, despite countless slothful hours spent in front of the t.v., we haven't watched a single holiday movie. *hangs head in shame* I did manage to brave the crowds at the mall yesterday for several hours and got a good deal of my holiday shopping done. So, that's something I guess.

But, despite the abject failure of my plan, I do have something that may just propel me into a fit of pure holiday cheer...Trader Joe's Candy Cane Joe-Joe's Cookies!!! OMG!!! These things are so delicious! They are like the perfect marriage of Oreo and Thin Mint. YUMMY!!!

Ahem. Ok. So, the holiday cheer plan didn't work out as planned, so instead I've been enjoying a day of football and sloth. Seriously, I have barely moved from this chair all day. And while Jo may have an excuse for hanging out on the couch all day, I'm making no excuses for my sloth. Nope. Just gonna accept it and enjoy the hell outa it. We have more snacks than the two of us can possibly eat. And we have the aforementioned scrumptious candy cane cookies. Yeah. I'm pretty sure I won't be doing anything else today.

On the football front, most of the games that I wanted to watch weren't aired here. We watched as the Cardinals decided that the playoffs weren't really that important, as they played like shit today. Oh, home team. *shakes head* We were, though, treated to a couple of pretty shots of a scruffy Matt Leinart on the sideline. What? I'll take my pretty anywhere I can find it.

There was much screaming and perhaps even some tears when the final score of the Dolphins' game scrolled across the screen. A WIN!!!!!!! In honor of Miami's first win of the season:

Jason celebrates. In my world, he'll be celebrating his win properly with Jeremy Shockey sometime soon. *g*


Also, both Ben and Matt had losses today. And, while that's a shame, this picture of Matt made me laugh:

You have to tilt your head a bit and squint to realize that, yes, that is in fact Matt's ass in the air. Seriously, how did he get himself in to that position?



ETA: I'm blaming my forgetfulness on the sugar rush of the candy cane cookies. I meant to START this entry with the really important news of the day: TODAY IS [livejournal.com profile] way2busymom's BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!! B, you are fabulous and I am forever grateful to [livejournal.com profile] technosage for dragging you out to Nashville because, Steve, Jerrod, and tequila shots in dixie cups not withstanding, meeting you was definitely the best part of that trip! I hope your day was fantastic and that the year ahead brings lots of love and laughter your way!

A road trip definitely has to be on the agenda for 2008. *nods*

I hope you had a great day!

I watched that pathetic Cardinals game... luckily, my Hubby loves the Saints, so that was okay. ;-)

I kept rooting every time the Steelers' score changed for the better... but then it didn't. Jacksonville? Oy. :(

Miami... won? Isn't that a sign of the apocalypse or something? ;->

Dee!!!! You've GOT to watch football with us! I think we may be heading to a sports bar on Sunday so that we can watch both the Pats/Dolphins game and the Seahawks game, which are both at the same time as the Cardinals game. You should join us!!!!!!

LOL! Another time... I'm going to be up all night Saturday for Yule vigil, so I will be sleeping through the Pats crushing the Dolphins. ;-)

Are there plans for a SuperBowl party yet? ;-D
