List 10 fictional characters you wouldn't kick out of bed (in no particular order) and tag five people to do the same.

I tag some new members of my flist so_severus, ilovemeganm, flyingpigs_live, joanie_dearest5 and monicarnsg

I am trying desperately for these all not to be some incarnation of Hugh :)

( Click here, you know you want to see the hottness )

So excited today, this Hughsday episode is "Merry Little Chritmas" Hands down this episode is in my Top 3.  Hugh is amazing, no wait, that's too weak of a word, Hugh is an absolute revelation in this episode. The various stages and emotions he conveys is beyond belief. Plus my favorite House/Cameron moment occurs here.

I believe I have finally for the most part recovered from my mental collapse last week. I am motivated to do more than just care for my son and myself. The house is coming together, presents are getting wrapped (and sent out), cards are finished, and most importantly bills have been paid.

I bought Sense and Sensibility on Sunday and Love Actually (hence the icon) I have loved the first movie since it came out on screen, not to mention that pesky character actor in there, what's his name again? MR. Palmer....Hugh Something.  I've never seen Love Actually, I can't wait to view it.

I'm a little late to the table with this but I am in absolute shock that our little community that could hughbunnies is up above 100 members now. To say that I am in awe and appreciative would be an understatement.

Onto the meme. As taken from angidas 
12 Things That Make Me Happy

1) The laughter from my child. Nothing will ever compare to that sound.
2) The unbridled joy on a child's face the first time you take them to Walt Disney World.
3) Laying in bed with my husband with my head resting on that spot beneath his shoulder. I fit perfectly there.
4) My family, they may drive me crazy but I am fortunate to be related to such wonderful people.
5) My friends (in person or over LJ) 
6) Having fun and gushing over Hugh Laurie. Is it silly, yes but also so much fun. Not to mention he's so easy to gush over.
7) Writing, it may seem like an odd thing to be happy over but nothing matches the feeling of accomplishment that occurs when you put sweat and tears into a passage and people compliment you on how much they love it.
8) My dogs and cats. Pure, unadulterated love from something that doesn't ask for really anythjing in return goes a long way.
9) Christmas
10) Being blessed with an amazing life that at times I seem to be unappreciative of but that I shall try never to take for granted again.

  Comment on this post and i'll give you a band. Don't worry, I'll make it one you know and love. You put your ten favorite songs by that band on your lj and in reply to the comment, then challenge others to do the same.

5) Happiness in Slavery - Broken EP (I will try not to include every song off this album)
6) Only - With Teeth, brilliant piece of music and just totally kick ass.
7) The Wretched - The Fragile, This song live is even more amazing.
8) Something I can never have - Pretty Hate Machine, hauntingly beautiful
9) Last - Wish, actually my favorite version is from the Remix EP "Fixed" 
10) Down in it - Pretty Hate Machine. Just a kick ass song.

I was introduced to "The Who" when I was 5, the love affair has never stopped.

1) Boris the Spider - My cousin used to sing it to me while reading "Mickey Mouse and the Haunted House"
2) Baba O'Riley - Do I really need to explain?
3) Eminence Front - The musicality of this song is unbelievable
4) Real Good Looking Boy - It's a beautiful song.
5) Love Reign O'er Me - The passion of this song gets me.

8) The Kids Are All Right - Just love
9) The Seeker
10) Bargain

 

I apologize a million times for not being around the past few days, I feel as if I've neglected everyone but the holidays are quite a busy time in my life. I am still attempting to catch up on all the entries I have missed.

I'll do a quick recap of what's gone on in my life since Wednesday.

-----Thursday/Thanksgiving in America: It was a pretty good time. 
*I did the annual excursion to Kmart for $.79 2 liters of Pepsi, $7.99 CDs. 
*I've been dieting (by eating more frequent small meals) and I've shrunk my stomach. I barely finished one plate of food. SO NOT A BAD THING!
*Mapped out (no literally mapped out) the shopping game plan for Friday's sales with my sister and friend Janet.

-----Friday/My annual celebration to the shopping gods.
*Up at 3:30 am after napping on my coma couch for 2 hours.
*At JCPenney's by 4am, Target by 5:15, Toys R Us by 7:45, the mall by 8:30 and home by 10. Yes I got everything i wanted including a new 8.2 megapixel camera for $89.00
*Final tally: I couldn't even tell you but I bought Guitar Hero 3 for hubby for our PS3 on bonorattle's suggestion. Also picked up Sonic/Mario Olympics for the Wii
*Nothing makes me feel better then standing in line with a hundred stressed out parents and the bustle of conversations halting when you mention that you have not only a PS3 but also a Wii. The daggers were being sent my way. I was hated.
*Took a nap and then went and finally got my hair done. It's been over 6 months since a cut. She removed almost 5 inches and added red streaks to my blonde. I love it!

-----Saturday
*More shopping and got $12.67 back for my hubby's "Call of Duty 4" that went on sale Friday after it was purchased Wednesday
*Had Janet's daughter over to play with my step daughter. I now know who the Jonas Brothers are. I wish I didn't!
*Finally talked to bonorattle after 3 days of nothing but texting. I missed her so much!

-----Sunday/Football Day
*Went to my first NFL Jaguars game in years (about 3 I think) 
*So much fun, we played the Buffalo Bills (my hometown)
*I have sunburn.
*So much Hugh goodies of the candid variety posted in hughbunnies ended a long Hugh drought. It is lovely.

-----Monday
 *Fuck, back to work
