Bubblebath!!

There is something amazing about bubblebaths....They are so nice. I don't care what your day has been like or what is on your mind, a bubblebath can take it away...Taking a bubblebath makes you feel so decadent and feminine...In a way that probably nothing else can do. I don't know what it is about seeing painted toenails poking out of a million bubbles that makes you feel girlie, but it does...

Anyway, moving along. I bought my first scarf of the year yesterday!! I am so excited about winter and Christmas this year. I hope that it gets cold enough in Texas that I will be able to wear a scarf. I don't know what it is about winter in general and Christmas specifically that is so enthralling to me. I think it is just the magic of it all. I mean someone being born to die for me. It is the best time to cuddle. The snow is so beautiful and enticing. I think maybe I love this time of year so much because it is when I feel closest to being a child again. I get to do all the adult stuff too, but it is okay to have a child's heart at Christmas. I have an especially childlike heart. I get so excited by the most simple things. "Fun" pens, Christmas lights, snow, bubblewrap...The list is really long. I am such a child at heart. I get to be most like my true inner self at Christmas. I am myself all year long, but I think I just dig a bit deeper into myself at Christmas time, like I find something that isn't there the rest of the year. I am swept away by the magic. I love the feeling that it is Christmas and there is hope and safety and peace and that you are loved by so many people. It is breathtaking. I think I am in love with Christmas...

Have a great night!

I can't say I know what you mean about the painted toenails in a bubble bath making you feel all girly, but I'll take your word for it.

I think the bathtub in my house is just for girls? Or at least I never use it.

And bubble wrap, sweet Jesus...I'm addicted to that shit! Once I pop, I can't stop.
