Random Thoughts:

1) CRAZY heavy fog this morning--so much so that the U.S. Capitol building is totally obstructed from view. It was very strange not to see the familiar and famous dome as I was driving in this morning.

2) One of my mother-in-law's friends in Philadelphia had her LIFE-SIZED baby jesus stolen from the nativity scene that was in her front yard. And it's all over the local news in Philly. Check out the story and PICTURES HERE.

3) My colleagues here at work had so much fun at our skating party last week that they want to go again! I love how one of our on-air correspondents is into it, too. I skated much better this year than last. Even the girl thought so.

4) You HAVE to check out this silly You Tube video of a dancing cat. It makes me laugh out loud EVERY time.

5) Our fake Christmas trees looks REALLY good. And so does our mantle--thanks to
the girl. She worked her magic with (real) garland and lights. I'll post pics soon. We also got REALLY stinky candles that smell like evergreens for that "real tree" smell. The imagination is a powerful tool.

6) Have you ever driven behind a truck with one of the signs on the back that reads: "How's My Driving?, Call 1-800, blah, blah, blah")? Well, the girl was cut off TWICE by a truck yesterday while driving home from the rink and called the number to complain. She was gratified because the people seemed genuinely concerned about the dangerous driving. The best part: it was a SALVATION ARMY truck. Good times.
