I mean, what will I do with myself? How does the rest of the (American) world keep themselves occupied between Thanksgiving and Christmas?&#8230;Note to Martin: Age is only in your head until you start to experience back pain. Then it&#8217;s in your head and in your back&#8230;Why is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jennyandadam.com\/adam\/\">Adam&#8217;s weblog<\/a> <i>still<\/i> getting more hits than mine (don&#8217;t you click on that link! This is a test. You need to prove to me that you like me better) when he writes like three sentences once a week? And I know this because I check up on his stats&#8211;in a very noncompetitive way, of course&#8230; Does anyone else remember when people didn&#8217;t count &#8220;days till Christmas&#8221; but &#8220;shopping days till Christmas&#8221; and it didn&#8217;t include Sundays?  Or am I making that up?&#8230; I read in a cooking magazine that some people &#8220;overdress&#8221; their sweet potatoes with marshmallows (or is it smarshmallows?). How can marshmallows ever be considered &#8220;overdressed&#8221;? What <i>isn&#8217;t<\/i> improved with the addition of marshmallows?&#8230;Including today, there are just 12 days&#8211;shopping and nonshopping&#8211;until Adam&#8217;s 30th birthday, unless I counted wrong (how many days until the 8th?). Or are you supposed to count the actual day of birthday in there? I&#8217;m never clear on that&#8230;.<a href=\"http:\/\/www.coldeeze.com\/\">Cold-eeze<\/a> are magic&#8230;What the heck are we going to do on New Year&#8217;s Eve?&#8230;Why do you think our Founding Fathers decided to pick a state name&#8211;Massachusetts&#8211;that&#8217;s so hard to spell?&#8230;A sign of blogging too much?
