I have witnesses. I saw something on the way home tonight and I took the family back out with me so they could verify that I wasn’t losing it. A house very definitely had a lit Chistmas Tree in their front window. A LIT CHRISTMAS TREE. I love Christmas, we’ve discussed that before. But I have rules and Thanksgiving is the line I have drawn for doing Christmas decorating.

On the other hand, we all watched the move Elf last night, so I have my faults as well. But watching a movie isn’t the same thing as putting up the tree.

Tonight’s movie, by the way, will be Cars. I love watching fun family movies!

Driving down route 495 this morning, I saw the following bumper sticker.

“Never, never, never, never shake a baby.”

Sweet Jesus, where have I been? I treat babies like martinis! I really do wish I had seen this bumper sticker years ago. I feel like such a jerk now. Thank you, lady in the ratty old car, for being brave enough to take a firm stand on such a controversial topic. I hope the baby-shakers don’t key your car.

Hey, Mr. Dump called a chimney sweep in Maynard (Chim Chimney) and not only did they take his call, they are going to come out and clean our chimney in less than a week! How excited am I? I can’t begin to tell you. Well, I did begin to tell you, but you know, you have to fill in the blanks. It’s been WAY too long since we got the chimney swept. Like, I don’t think we’ve ever had it swept. We don’t have many fires (in the fireplace, not in the chimney, duh) in any given year, and 80% of the time we’re using the fake logs, so our risk is lower than a heavy wood burning fireplace. And we have used those logs that are supposed to clean out the chimney. I assume they are crap and a waste of good money, but it made us feel like we were at least giving it the old elementry school try.

Well after Tuesday I won’t have to worry about it for the whole rest of the year! Woo!

Are you telling me that Britney is casting aside the boil that is her husband, useless waste of space Kevin Federline? Does this mean we won’t be seeing his ugly mug on tv and magazines any more?

I don’t know what to think.

Positively fantastic. Great script, great plot, parts of it laugh out loud funny. Humor more highbrow than what we’ve come to expect from a kid’s movie.

I absolutely loved it. Best movie I’ve seen in a year or two…I think I liked it better than Cars. I actually want to see it again already, but I will wait for the DVD. *sigh*
