Day 9
1 plant down, six left.
Made it through the Thanksgiving holiday with no tears, minimal "where's so-and-so," and only three pieces of consumed cheesecake.
Not bad.
Watched an embarrassingly large amount of made-for-tv Christmas romance movie, chock full of bad dialogue, annoying music, and super important but oh-so-cheesy Christmas-spirit life lessons:) The star-crossed lovers always end up together, just in time for some magical Christmas caroling and a little unexpected but welcomed snowfall. If you just believe, and happen to have a magical dog, or meddling old relative who really does know best (wink wink), or Santa in disguise, you too can find your true love and, most importantly, the true meaning of Christmas!
Of course, in real life, she mopes around the house and drinks too much wine, and he ends up at a bar, hooking up with a girl who's heart he will, inevitably, break in the morning, when he wakes to find that a large snow storm has swept through the area, burying his car in two feet of cold, slushy mess, and he left his window scraper and shovel at home.
I think I now need to watch a few hours of dramatic, depressing Dateline stories to balance the scales:)
