the kindness of strangers....

I know that I've recently done a post on random acts of kindness.  But seeing as we're in the throes of Christmas, I thought I'd do another.  You see today, I was the recipient of some random acts of kindness.  No details, don't worry, but so many people really came through to make a tough day not-so-tough.  Just when I get down and feel as if the world is becoming a rather hard-hearted place, there's a kind stranger around the corner telling you it's not so.  Don't give up hope...even when recently faced with such tragedy and heartbreak there is love out there....

So guess what?  The Hobbit comes out in theaters tomorrow!!!!  I have been waiting for this day since the end of the Lord of the Rings trilogy.  And now it's here *sob*!!!!  To be honest, the Hobbit was my favorite of Tolkiens.  So in honor of the tremendous occasion, I am offering up this video.  This dude is hilarious and talented.  Enjoy!

P.S.  He also has a video for Harry Potter....it's wonderful lol.

the countdown begins...

So I put Blaine in his new fleece Christmas PJ's, but I did not know that it was going to be 80 degrees out the next day.  When will I learn Florida......WHEN WILL I LEARN?!?!
