A Friday Observation
Posted by mandy on December 5th, 2008Today is a great day - Woke up early to walk the dog, hopped on my bike, got tons of work done and will head to the pool soon.
I thought I'd start a little series here - every once in a while - post "observation of the day". It may be more like "wish of the day" or "crabby comment of the day", but just go with it.
Today's observation: I am jealous of Advent Calendars. Yes, I get 8 nights of Channukah, and depending on who I'm dating, I get a Christmas present (Santa loves good Jewish girls) - but I love the idea of counting down days, preferably with pop-open boxes filled with chocolate. New business venture, perhaps?
Ok, so that wasn't so painful - was it?
