The Classic Debate

Here's the good news: I was making taco soup tonight and discovered that I have about thirty cans of corn. That should come in handy when disaster strikes. I hope everyone likes corn.

The bad news? The soup didn't turn out white as I was hoping. Maybe it was the taco seasoning. Maybe it was the green peppers. Something didn't seem quite right. So... I kept adding ingredients. And adding... and adding. I now have a enough to soup to feed an army. Gah. This is why I do not often cook. (Unless you are a man reading this right now-- In that case, I cook delicious meals all the time. I love to cook. I'm a domestic goddess.)

In other news- I survived dead week! Now on to finals!

For this reason (dead week) I have been lagging in my Christmas countdown. Perhaps you noticed. Perhaps not. Either way, I shall make up for it now. 

Behold:

Marisa asked for Eloise... so Eloise she gets. 

But check me out-- Don't I look smashing beside the wonderful Ms. Andrews?

You may not have noticed because of my great photo-shopping skills... But there are actually three of me this picture. I know, I know, you're shocked. 

But what's more important- Kevin and Buzz. Buzz and Kevin. What is more Christmasy than that?

Say it with me everybody:

"Buzz, your girlfriend- WOOF."

Again. What are the holidays without Kevin McCallister?

I saved the best for last. 

Anyone seen The Santa Clause?

This bod once belonged to the famous Tim Allen. But I think I can rock it. Thoughts?

Okay, okay... So today is the 6th of December. 

That means that we have 19 days until Christmas. 

Ho, ho, ho, everyone!

December 6th also means that it is the birthday of two of my dearest friends. 

A special shout-out to Kristi and Lacie. Love you girls!

One last thing- Allow me to draw your attention back to the lovely Julie Andrews.

What do you first think of when you think of this star?

Sound of Music? I know I do. 

Well, did you know that last night NBC aired "The Sound of Music Live"?

I features Carrie Underwood and Audra McDonald... and some other people that I don't know. 

(Sorry, other people.)

Did anyone see it? And, if so, what were your thoughts?

I just discovered this tonight via Facebook, so naturally I had to look into it. 

Here's a little sample. Your thoughts, please.

Sound of Music Live...

Sound of Music (Old School)...

Personally, I don't think you can mess with a classic. My allegiance lies with Julie.

However, I would like to see the full Live show. I don't think I can really judge it until I fully experience it.

But I want to hear your thoughts! Tell me, tell me!

(And while you are commenting, you could also suggest other Holiday shows to be featured.)

Thank you and goodnight.
