Christmas is coming!

Today was the first overcast day I've seen since I arrived in Palm Springs 2 months ago! I can't tell you how much it helped my Christmas mood! The wind was blowing and big dark clouds in the sky threatening rain, but not a drop ... maybe tomorrow!

I managed to get most of my holiday errands done today ... most of the shopping is done, cards are mailed and then I rounded out the day with the ward Christmas party ... lots of great ham and funeral potatoes and adorable Primary children acting out the Nativity. The best part of the day, however, was that it meant I was one day closer to going to St. George for Christmas.

Even though it will be a quick trip and some of my friends are going to be home with their families, I can't wait to see my friends and spend time with my parents. My poor sister, though, will be spending the holiday by herself!!

Last weekend Lisa and I went to the movies and saw "The Holiday" with Jude Law, Kate Winslet, Jack Black and Cameron Diaz. It was such an adorable movie!! So cute and romantic. And I really must say that Jude Law is the Cary Grant of the 21st Century! He is simply dreamy!!

So my Christmas gift to myself came Thursday. After a failed attempt to get DishNetwork (couldn't get a signal) and the desired DVR ... I ordered Tivo!! However, after a frustrating night of trying to hook it up to my broadband without using a phone line, I learned that I do, in fact, need a phone line! ARGH!!! So by Monday I might actually be able to experience the life-changing wonders of Tivo! I can't wait!! I might be able to catch up on Young and the Restless!! Yep, I'm a TV junkie!
