Swirly

So, I'm feeling totally drained and uninspired today because I had approximately 36 hours of weekend this weekend, instead of the usual 60ish. At least I made about 800 bucks this week instead of the usual $450... now I can afford winter boots! (And maybe even pay for my flight to warm, sunny Florida for New Years.)

This weather, although damp and dark sometimes, is starting to feel more and more like Christmas is coming every day. I've never been to NYC during the holiday season, but I suspect it's going to be one of the most magical things I've ever experienced. I already have my decorations out in the corner of my living room and I am SO ready for Decorating Day (aka, the day after Thanksgiving, in which I get really drunk, eat Turkey Slop*, and decorate the apartment until it's entirely covered in glitter and/or tinsel).

For those of you who have ever done Christmas in the City... any favorite traditions? I'm totally going to the tree lighting, and if I have money I'm doing either The Nutcracker or the Radio City Christmas Spectacular. Give me your spectacular, I'll give you pictures of the happenings; scout's honor :)


*Turkey Slop is one of the few traditions from my relationship with The Ex that I've kept in my life. Basically, you make biscuits, then top it with shoestring french fries and the leftover turkey that's been swimming in gravy all night. Best. Recipe. EVER.
