On with the fun!
DAY 3
* Last night I watched a movie with my aunts and we sat on the floor, eating popcorn and drinking ice-cold root beer. I found myself suddenly flashing back to Saturdays when I was a little kid: after my sister, brother and I each had our baths, Mom would park us in our jammies on the floor in the middle of the living room. While she went off to take her own bath, Dad would pop up a massive bowl (the family-famous big yellow bowl) of popcorn and give us Kool-Aid (yes, I drank the Kool-Aid, heh). We would sit and watch The Love Boat (yes, really), and munch away happily. On the popcorn, not the cheese emanating from the TV program. Ha! Just kidding, Captain Stubing! Anchors away! Meet you on the Ledo deck! Ah, happy memories.
* "The 12 Days of Christmas" as sung by John Denver and the Muppets. That Miss Piggy, ever the drama queen. "Five... gooooool-dennnn... riiiiiiiings! Bah-da dum dum!" *giggles* And I adore Fozzy Bear.
* Cozy, warm, flannel sheets. Sweet god in heaven, they make the most luxurious, toasty cocoon. I wake up in the morning, all snuggled in, and never want to exit the covers.
* The sound of the wind raging outside. It's frickin' freezing out there (4 degrees below zero but feels like minus 28 with the wind chill)! Nevertheless, it's safe and warm indoors, and I love listening to the powerful wind and watching the snow flying sideways at 30 miles per hour. Cooooool. ;)
