There&#8217;s nothing much going on with me that&#8217;s worth committing to the blog.

I add my holiday playlist back to iTunes and become one of *those* people who squeals when they see holiday displays in stores. Rob can only roll his eyes and steer me away in silence before I start adding unnecessary items to our cart.<\/p>\n<p>First up is Halloween. We rarely do anything and this year probably won&#8217;t be any different. BUT I wonder if we&#8217;ll have any trick-or-treaters! I hope so. I haven&#8217;t seen many kids in our neighborhood besides our neighbor&#8217;s kids across the street, though. Oh, well. I&#8217;m still super excited to buy a huge bowl full of candy just in case anyone rings our doorbell. At least we&#8217;ll have extra candy around for me to eat if no one does. Heh.<\/p>\n<p>For Thanksgiving it looks like my family has nominated us to host this year. Umm&#8230; yay? I&#8217;m mostly excited not to go anywhere (what can I say, I&#8217;m lazy) but am starting to wonder what we&#8217;re going to eat. Hmm&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Then finally Christmas. My favorite. I&#8217;ve started sending out wishlist requests. I&#8217;m looking for personalized cards to order (possibly with a photo of Diesel, not sure yet). I&#8217;m contemplating the purchase of a faux Christmas tree (I love the smell of a real one but dread vacuuming up the needles). And I&#8217;m throwing around the idea of having friends over for a Christmas party. Could be fun!<\/p>\n<p>So yeah, those are my holiday plans so far. What about you guys?<\/p>\n<p>Just for kicks, I feel like sharing my absolute FAVORITE gif of the best Sesame Street character ever&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><center><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/senorgif.com\/2010\/06\/20\/funny-gifs-for-me-you-shouldnt-have\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/chzgifs.files.wordpress.com\/2010\/06\/cookemonster.gif\" title=\"funny GIFs - For me?
