Last night I sat in my bed and watched tv by myself. I have never ever done that. And you know what? It was grand!

And... Maggie and I also went to the Antique Mall today. Where I found an elephant cookie cutter (it was quite a steal) as well as a 1st edition of Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm. It has a gorgeous cover and it was published in 1903!

OH HAPPY DAY! It is Christmas Eve Eve! Today my friend Maggie introduced me to Provo Bakery! I was so happy. I mean, my life has never been the same since Spanish Fork Bakery went out of business, but now I feel just a little bit closer to closure :) I got a Cinnamon Butterfly Roll and a Raspberry Fritter- both of which were phenomenal. Bakeries are just about the greatest places in the world, I would say! Oh yes, and Maggie bought these little gingerbread men and shared with me... they were so great.

Tomorrow the real festivities will begin... rice pudding, cheese balls, homemade rolls, ham, wrapping, laughing, and excitement! I'm so happy to be here with my family. I can't imagine being anywhere else but watching the Christmas episode of Little House on the Prairie with my sisters. Thats what Christmas is all about, Christmas episodes of Little House and Arthur.

Have you ever read PostSecret, by Frank Warren? 

Its fascinating. It is these anonymous postcards from people telling their secrets. Its crazy, people send in things that no one in the world knows, and this guy puts them together into books. They really makes you think. The first time I looked at the book I though about how we have no idea what people are going through. I heard a statement sometime, somewhere and it said, "Everyone has at least one secret that would break your heart. I think if everyone realized this there would be a little more kindness and compassion in the world." Isn't that true? We really have no clue what people have been through or are going through. My goal for today? Stop judging. 

What's your secret?!

3 great things happened today:

1. Andrea and I took over an hour to get to school this morning... due to slow drivers and Andrea's inability to direct us around campus effectively. BUT we laughed the whole time. Seriously sister, you are my favorite person alive.

2. I discovered this amazing white roll in the bookstore. It was fantastic.

3. Andrea, Rachel, and I all played today at school. Best part... we ate Toblerones while Rachel and I were both carrying awkwardly wrapped packages. What a grand time. 

One for the Money, Two for the Show

People say that they always have these great ideas while in the shower. Shower thoughts, they call them. Like Kramer on Seinfeld, for example, he thinks that everything is better in the shower. He even cooks in the shower. But what about those of us who don't like to shower? What do we do?
