Happy Holidays! What are your fave Christmas movies?
Peace, love, tolerance, understanding, kindness, and acceptance
Happy Holidays, everyone! I can't believe it's almost Christmas!
This is my brain right now:
But seriously! I can't focus on anything!
On Friday, a car is coming at 7am to take me to Newark Airport. I've got a 10:15am flight to the Bob Hope Airport in Burbank, California. Only one stop in Phoenix.
I'm SO excited! It's my first time in CA!
After I hop off the plane at LAX with a dream and my cardigan . . . just PRETEND I'm going to LAX. ;)
I'm staying with friends who have become family--my "Cali Barn Mafia" that consists of Joey, Suzie, Lex, and Gracie. I've only met Joey in person a few times, but it feels as though I know everyone. Maybe the FaceTime chats help. :) I won't miss the cold, but it will be weird to wear a t-shirt and not a sweater on Christmas. Weird in a way that I'm excited to try.
I hired Petaholics to come every day to visit Bella, Bliss, and Khaleesi. I would not be able to enjoy myself if I had to wonder every day if they were okay or if something had happened. I really like our sitter--she's a student who's majoring in creative writing, so that was a very cool match!
I finished writing Unicorn Magic #3! After that, I started watching a ton of Christmas movies. Although it's NOT Christmas themed, I highly recommend CHALET GIRL.
It stars GOSSIP GIRLS'S Ed Westwick who's phenomenal. I loved this movie!
Also, CHRISTMAS CUPID with PRETTY LITTLE LIARS'S Ashley Benson was fun!
I watched SNOW GLOBE; it was the second holiday movie that I saw starring Christina Milian.
Back to movies . . .
My fave Christmas movies are:
Charlie Brown Christmas (If I do NOT watch this and THE GRINCH (animated not Jim Carrey) it doesn't feel like Xmas)
The Grinch (animated, as I said :))
Home Alone 1 and 2
The Family Stone
The Santa Clause
Jingle All the Way
Rudolph
Frosty
Elf
What are your fave Xmas movies? Share! Total Film did a list of the "top 50 Christmas movies" if you're looking to try new ones.
So, as I'm packing for a warm climate, I'll have a fireplace DVD on loop on my TV. :)
Happiest of holidays to everyone! I can't wait to ring in 2014!

ER visit. Not for me or K! Shocker, right?!
So. It was almost ten. I was in PJs and just ready to get back to writing.
Then Mr. Frank brought me dinner. He forgot to get me a napkin and despite my protests, he started back down this stairs to get one.
I heard a yelp and crash and bolted out of my apt.
Frank had fallen ten or twelve steps. His left ring finger was bent at the knuckle at a 90 degree angel. If I hadn't been running on adreline, I would have passed out. His left ankle was rapidly becoming the size of a basketball.
I got him back of up the stairs--barely--and he told me where to get his ID, credit card, etc.
I changed out of my PJs and called for a car. We went to a hospital in the 60s on Third or Fourth Ave in Brooklyn.
They took xrays. And drew blood. And fixed his dislocated finger.
Thankfully, he only has a fractured foot. Not saying that his injury is awesome, but if def beats the alternative--if he'd tripped and gone down head first. His back is brushed all up and down his spine (owweee) and he's got a light cast on his food and a splint on his finger.
But, like EVERY other ER I have ever been to, we were there forever. 10pm to just after 7am. And they gave him a ridiculously tiny amount of pain killers for the injuries he had. It was a typical hospital.
I got him settled into my bed and he was asleep in two minutes. Leesi is currently keeping him company. :) And as much as I complained in this blog, I would do it again in a heart beat. No one should ever have to go to the hospital alone. He would have done the same for.
So he's asleep and I'm about to head to Crystal Kingdom in Unicorn Magic! :)

and I couldn't stop myself . . . plz send me sheets for Christmas. ;)
