Rockin' around the blogging tag

Since it is Christmas Eve and the boy is wiped out from last-minute shopping and the department-store-competitive wrapping is done and I've resigned myself to sending New Year's cards, this is the first big sigh of relief I've had all week.
Actually, it is the second big sigh. The first cleansing breath took place at the most-needed yoga class of all time yesterday, where I asana-ed my paycheck-never-arrived worries away. That was a glorious two hours and was quickly followed by a take-away lunch and putting Christmas on the credit card we've (sigh) been paying down all year. Now, Bruce and I are enjoying a bit of respite from the holi-mania and sipping on big mugs of coffee and Kahlua while Lil E sleeps soundly in the next room. This quiet, this calm is exactly what I was hoping today would be.
While I am still feeling all this buzz from the true meaning of Christmas (and maybe a teense from the generous shot of liqueur), it seems like a very good time to indulge in the game of blog tag that City Mama sent my way. I'm considering this virtual cocktail party the holiday bash that WAHM/Ds never get. Grab your own breakfasty booze and join me for Five Things You Probably Didn't Know About Grrrlfriend Jess:
I performed on the Bozo Show not once but twice. No, not in the bucket game, with a guitar group. Watch out for me, Stormie! I'm comin' for ya.
- Both of my names occupied the top two places in the U.S. Most Popular Baby Names charts for seven years (and this was long before Joey got snubbed for a Soapie by the diva played by Alison Sweeney on Friends).
- I have indulged in this on occasion, as much as I hate to admit it.
- Even though I was a clubber gold-card holder, I totally rocked Sally Jesse's in high school. Owwww!
-
My fave stocking stuffers are these, these, these and him....wait -- and him. OK, really...I mean him. Honest.
Now go forth into your Christmukkwanzaasoltice with a bit more peace, knowing that you know your Grrrlfriend a bit better. Foodmomiac, Kim and Doug, you are ohhhhh-so it!
Here's to a wonderful holiday season and a year ahead
full of peace, grace, laughter and amazing adventures
with the ones you love most!
