The Small Things
Retail at Christmas time makes me want to hit something. Had a hellacious day. Worked from 10-7:30. Then I came home, ran and saw a shooting star - and now it's better. God works in small, wonderfully mysterious ways.

Wacky Wednesday
I'm feeling very scatter-brained today, so I don't make any promised that this post will be cohesive at all...
I don't know what it is about Wednesday, but it seems as though ALL the crazies come out on Wednesday. Maybe it was the snow? I don't know, but boy work was entertaining tonight. Between the people watching and all of the crazy questions we were asked, the 9 hours really flew by! I really enjoy working retail a lot more around the holidays...all the shoppers make the time go by much faster.
I've started making my list of Christmas gifts to buy for my family and friends. I do this every year. I try to get too creative and then end up waiting until the last minute because nothing I come up with is creative enough. Maybe since I acknowledged it early this year, I'll be better about it? Probably not, but its worth a shot. So far, I've come up with 4 gifts. Only about 20 left to go!
I realized today how much I miss Norman in the winter. When I saw the snow this morning, all I wanted to be doing was sitting in Crimson Park D205 watching a movie (which would more likely be ESPN, let's be honest) and cooking all of my friends dinner. But I wasn't. I was in Texas. That is the only time in my life where "I was in Texas" was said almost negatively. Norman has so much character in the winter. It's cold and so windy that it takes your breath away. It's bare trees, basically ice skating to class, wondering when it will ice again so we can have no class. It's that odd transition from football to basketball. It's Ugg boots and North Face. It's studying and Starbucks and counting down the hours until your last final. It's pulling all nighters and eating all the finals snacks at the Deej. It's perfect. And I miss it. So to those of you who are experiencing a Norman winter: I am jealous. You should enjoy it while you can - you don't realize how much you like it until your first winter away.
I'll leave you with some pictures of OU in the winter and the watch that I would LOVE to get for Christmas...
...I told you this entry would be random.
