in case you didn't know....

just in case you were not aware.......tomorrow is christmas eve! hooray! right now d and i are watching love actually (starring hugh grant). it really gets me in the christmas mood. and it's really the only "love" movie i can watch without wanting to slit my wrists because i am bitter and alone (just kidding...but seriously). i do enjoy when my bitter side comes out though. it can be rather entertaining.

we just reached my favorite part of love actually. billy is on tv promoting his record and he tells the kids "hi kids. here's an important message from your uncle bill. don't do drugs. become a pop star and they give you them for free." hilarious.

tonight the u of a played kansas and basketball and the cats won! and while kansas is unranked they are still kansas and a blue-blood at that. so it was a big deal. not only did we win we massacred. i am so sad i missed it but thankfully i was able to read all about it. arizona has been playing insanely well lately so hopefully we will have a great season. it would be a great slap in the face to our ex-coach lute olsen who up and left very suddenly leaving one of arizona's assistant coaches to cover his job. what a jackass. truthfully, lute should have bowed up two season ago when he took a sabbatical to deal with "personal issues." had he not come back the great kevin o'neill would still be our coach and arizona would unquestionably be on their way to greatness once again. it is so sad. but either way......go cats!! we are off to a great season!

final thought of the day, i saw this great quote at coffee bean today: "who are we not to shine" ~nelson mandela. what a great quote?!? and so true. every person everywhere deserves to shine.

and here's a great question of the day: what would you do if you knew you could not fail? you can leave your answers/thoughts in the comments section.

yippee!

yay! so i didn't imagine it. d came in last night and told me she redid my blog. i didn't remember until i signed on to my blog (just now). well, this is my new look. isn't it lovely. danielle gets me. the border is so cute and of course i love rudie.....he's so handsome. the glittery touch isn't too bad either. d does know how much i love glitter.

today my mother and her boyfriend left for the weekend. the sisters and i are very excited because it means peace and quiet (for the most part). and tomorrow the sisters and i, as well as my father and his girlfriend are going to my cousin's bat mitzvah. it should make for an interesting afternoon.

here's a "would you rather" question for the day, you can leave your answers as comments:

would you rather:
a. be able to fly?
or
b. be able to read people's minds?

golden globe nominations came out yesterday! that means that awards season is finally upon us. i am so excited, jeremy piven got nominated again for his role as ari gold and sally field (who i love and saw yesterday with d) got nominated for her role as nora walker on brothers & sisters. i still need to see many of the nominated films but i have started. i saw milk the other day and i have to say that sean penn lived up to the hype. he is an incredible actor with an amazing gift. you become entranced and you forget that you're watching a movie. i really want to see revolutionary road and slumdog millionaire. there are so many great movies out and great movies coming out. and then there are all the other movies i want to see: bride wars, confessions of a shopaholic etc. i am slightly scared for shopaholic, the book was fabulous (only the first one) and i don't think the movie is going to live up to it....but nonetheless it looks adorable.

i hope everyone has a wonderful rest of their day and a great weekend. happy holidays!
