Grinch!

Yes! Dr Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas is on television! This is a close second to my favorite Christmas cartoon - Merry Christmas Charlie Brown! I grew up anxiously anticipating their showtimes on television every holiday season. We had a special dinner the night they aired, and extra treats. It is one of the few really positive family bonding memories I have. And to get to watch it in my apartment, with my big new tv, and my lovely dog, and my mini Christmas tree...makes me very happy.

Of course that happiness could simply be endorphins from running for the first time in five weeks. Shameful I know, but I haven't ran in over a month. I went to the gym after work and did much better than I expected. I love running, but I hate the feeling all day of "man I gotta go to the gym" and I hate the trudging across campus to the gym, the coming home late. Boo. I just have to remember how good it feels to run.

Tonight I plan on working on my Christmas cards, reading, eating the burrito I'm making, and relaxing. I'm such a goof about Christmas. Probably the most excited Atheist on earth for Christmas.
