Oh boy!

Tonight we're going to try this restaurant that I've been wanting to go to for AGES. It's called Horn of Africa, and has come highly recommended.
We had a lovely Christmas, and next Thursday we leave to spend a few days with Robert's brother and sister-in-law in Orlando. Hopefully we'll get to go to Disney since I've never been.
And if you're thinking about trying to find size 5 or 6 tall chocolate UGGs in Nashville, I've called every store in the city. I finally found some in a 6 yesterday thanks to a tip from Bridget at Dillard's. Yes, I know they're not cute, but they're warm, and I'll really need them in St. Louis. Really.

I have been at work for over 14 hours and counting. I feel/look like this:

deck the what?

Last night, like Christmas traditionalists everywhere, Robert and I went to Wolfgang Puck Express for dinner (it's very delicious), then grabbed a non-fat white chocolate peppermint mocha from Starbucks (which has Starbucks cup Christmas tree ornaments in regular or holiday style cups) and went to look at Christmas lights...
Oh wait, not Christmas lights, Christmas mailboxes. Maybe it's because I'm not from Nashville that I don't understand this. Robert has been helping one of his mom's friends decorate mailboxes for Christmas the past couple of days, and I wanted to see what a Christmas mailbox looked like.
I thought it might look like this (simple, tasteful, slightly festive):But it looked more like this (minus the spiderman):on a mailbox. These things are amazing!
No offense to people (or their parents) who might have these...I just can't believe that people pay to have this done. Is this normal?

1 week til I go to Austin.
I'm very excited.

We are having our annual RUF White Elephant party tonight, which always yields fabulous gifts. Last year, I got Praise Ponies: http://www.christiantshirtshop.com/typp1.html
