Since I flaked out and didn't post last night, I'll make up for it tonight with a post about more than one thing. Bonus!
I had to run into the mall today, and of course Santa was there. Since the mall was oddly vacant, I thought it would be a great opportunity to "practice" getting to know Santa. LT and I observed him from afar for a while, and slowly got closer and closer. LT finally walked up to speak to Santa, and he was really sweet. He asked her about her dress and her barette, and she even gave him a high five. He managed to get a big smile out of her, and said, "goodness, your smile is so pretty! Where did you get that pretty smile?"
LT replied, "China!"

I have a wicked cold. Blech, I hate this season. For many years this meant that I would also get a sinus infection. It never failed - I would get a cold and then it would linger and turn in to a sinus infection. Last year my doctor suggested using a neti pot. I thought she was nuts. No way was I sticking a pot of water in one nostril, and then it drip out the other side. Weird.
It was my second sinus infection of that season though, so I gave it a try. Anything to avoid more antibiotics and help fuel superbugs that are antibiotic resistant. Oh my, this thing has changed my life. It is so soothing, and has helped me to stay healthy. It really clears out the sinus cavities and gets everything moving. I can't say enough good things about this. I have this one.
So, if you suffer from ongoing sinus or allergy problems - run out and get a "nose pot!" (as MT calls it)

Lastly, I got my hair cut tonight. I think I have finally found a good stylist. For those of you with curly hair - you know what a Christmas miracle this is.
I'm off to look at myself in the mirror and shake my hair around a bit.
