I want a hippopotamus for Christmas

  
"I only like hippopotamuses and hippopotamuses like me too!"
Just kidding, but how cute is he?

I have had  a lovely weekend.  I went to Cincinnati on Thursday night.  Crafted a few gifts on Friday and then the boy and I headed to our favorite city for a basketball game.  It was a close game but the Cards pulled it out in overtime, so that was fun!  Saturday we went on the Holiday House Tour in Old Louisville.  It was a lot of fun, those houses are crazy big and nice, but that Victorian style isn't exactly my cup of tea. A major highlight of the trip was our detour through Norton Commons on the way home (after stopping at Starbucks...I finally tried the skinny peppermint mocha and I really liked it.  I'm pretty sure they're lying when they say it is only 100 cals, just saying).  Norton Commons has to be the cutest little neighborhood that I have EVER seen.  I kept telling Anthony that it had to be fake and I felt like we were on The Truman Show but he hasn't seen that movie so he didn't get it.  You really have to see this place to believe it. *sigh* Maybe some day :)

Today I came back to Lexington early and caught M,D& Tinker before they left town. They came to Lexington to go the UK/UNC game (which we won, whoo!) and to do some Christmas shopping. I had some Christmas shopping of my own to do this afternoon.  I love shopping, but I really love Christmas shopping, especially when you're able to get basically everything you are looking for.  Thanks to a lot of online shopping as well, I am just about finished. Today I have gotten real excited about Christmas!  I am listening to Christmas music now and I am about to paint my nails bright red, festive, no?
