Tis the season?

The lamp from A Christmas Story. Best holiday movie everWhat beautiful weather we have been having in Winnipeg this fall. It's been so mild that I cannot believe tomorrow is the first of December! Crazy

Ah December, always a crazy month of decorating, shopping, visiting and eating. Those are a few of my favourite things. Ah, who am I kidding, those are all of my favourite things!

This year I'm a little stuck on what to give as gifts. Usually I put a lot of thought into it, but I've been distracted with other things (reno’s and work especially). I might be a little challenged in the gift-giving area this holiday...uh oh

I had good intentions to paint a few gifts, but I never got off my lazy butt to start; just did some preliminary sketches that led to... nothing. And that sucks! I enjoy receiving gifts (who doesn't), but I really enjoy when I give a good gift. That's why Christmas rocks. Birthdays are fun and all, but I like it when everyone gets something.

Oh well, I'm sure I'll find some interesting things in the next few weeks. I better! I have a no gift card policy (that would be an unwritten policy, Larry David).

Hmmm, I wonder where I can buy this leg lamp? I think it would be perfect for mom and Art's new place.

Update: I did get off my lazy butt to paint a few gifts for Christmas. Two NHL logos for die hard fans (Flyers and Devils) and this old car for Art.

wakka wakka wakka!

Wow, have I ever fallen off the blogging bus! Not sure what happened there.

I don't have anything exciting to say, so I think I will just post this funny video a friend sent me.

It's Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody" sung by the Muppets. I have a huge soft spot for them; the Muppet Show was one of my favourites as a kid. How can you not like the Muppets? Impossible.

Enjoy the video (esp., Beaker!)
