996!! Whoa.

996 is the number of posts I'm on! Oh.my.gawd. I yammer on a lot...and um.. this is proof.. haha.. You see, I started a blog after some of my college friends (Kat and Karl, Brooke and Paul, etc in my links) started theirs to stay in touch with each other. :) That was somewhere around 2005. I know bloggidies have become more and more prevalent since then and I've even changed mine (it used to be my full name but I didn't heart that, so closed the old one down and moved over here). :) Kelsey prompted me to pay attn to how long I've been doing this as today is her one year bloggidy bday! :) And when I looked, I thought "if I time this right, I could hit 1000 posts at NEW YEARS! Ohmygosh I have to try!" So, even though I was gonna skip blogging today, opted to go for the goal!!!

And a question for you! I think I want to pay someone to make my bloggidy pretty to celebrate my 1,000th post. Recommendations?!

Okay, now on to other things.. HOW WAS YOUR HOLIDAY?! :) It snowed here.. rephrase.. We had a blizzard on Christmas Eve. haha.. No really, we did. Next year, I might wish for just a "light dusting" instead of a full blown White Christmas b/c I just got home.. As in was just able to get out of my mom's neighborhood TODAY (Sunday!). Eric and I haven't even had our Xmas yet b/c we couldnt get outta our parents neighborhoods! hah! (It's funny today b/c I'm mobile. Wasn't super funny the other day.. Read: I was overdramatic).

But, it was certainly beautiful and kinda cool to say we had a white Christmas for the first time in years...even if it hindered mobility. I'm just glad I was able to get to my mom's house to spend time with her. :) And I was still able to go to Christmas Eve at Eric's fam's in Owasso which was super fun! Love his family! More to come on that with photos later. :) (along with the "we got severely stuck in the snow" story)

Christmas with mom was great! We would have loved to get outta the house, but forced bonding over Sex and the City and other dvds isn't so bad...and it definitely didn't hurt us any. :) Pics to follow :) (PS..I have an SUV..but it's not 4 wheel drive. Sooo that doesnt do much in this weather. Awesome. haha)

Yesterday, Lauren's dad came to get her for a movie.. and since I was a few blocks away, they let me tag along! YAY getting out of the house and spending time with friends!! Mom went to a movie with her friend, too... :) We saw.....

...and I liked it! It was very "real" if you will. It's not a fairy tale type story, but it's thought provoking and just plain good. Two thumbs up!

Then, last night, Eric's dad, Eric and his bro came to grab me (they had 4 wheel drive and were super sweet to come get me :) ) to see this...
...in 3D! I haven't seen a 3D movie in...well.. I can't even remember! It was really good! I like that kinda stuff..aliens..sci fi, etc...My wannabe lawyer friends read John Grisham. Even in law school, I preferred Dean Koontz. Comical. Anyway, I also dig James Cameron, so yeah. :) We did, however decide that it was kinda Fern Gully + Aliens + attempt at blue Native Americans. *shrugs* I NEVER get motion sickness but when they were flying around with the 3D stuff in full effect, I had to look down a couple times! I was like "Jackie, don't be that girl..don't get sick while at the alien movie with the boys" haha.. Two thumbs up on this one, too. :)

Okay, I need to unpack some stuff and then re-pack Eric's gifts and hopefully head over there for us to finally have our Christmas together! I hope you had a great holiday weekend and spent lotsa time with family and/or friends :) Much love from a snowy Tulsa!
