Must See Christmas Movies!

Well, now that the turkey is behind us, we can get to all of the fun Christmas festivities! One of my most favorite parts of the Christmas season is watching all of my favorite movies. Here are my top picks new and old

Christmas Vacation- What Christmas movie has funnier one liners that never seem to get old? "Look kids! A deer!"

Love Actually- One of my new quirky favorites. I actually hated this movie in the theater but it has grown on me.

Rudolph- A classic

The Family Stone- This movie just makes me want a big family

The Polar Express- The illustration is gorgeous

How the Grinch Stole Christmas - You cant have Christmas without the Grinch!

Charlie Brown Christmas - I love that the big networks still play this eventhough it tells about the true meaning of Christmas.

Elf - Will Ferrel in an Elf suit, priceless

The Holiday - A Christmas chick flick!

Its a Wonderful Life - an all time favorite

A Christmas Story- The most epic of all Christmas movies!

What are your favorite Christmas movies??

Happy Thanksgiving!

I hope y'all have a great turkey day! Currently my pies are chilling in the fridge and my mac N cheese is ready to be popped into the oven! This mac N cheese recipe is seriously the best in the world, and so easy! I will share the recipe one day next week for any other fanatics like me!

I'm sitting here watching the Thanksgiving Day Parade with Lola, and I'm wondering who let all of these "musicians" and "singers" on here? Its simply awful.

Happy Thanksgiving! Gorge yourselves on fatty Thanksgiving food! I will be...Under Doctor's orders, of course! ;)

Ornament Swap 2nd Chance

Okay, so I dont know what is up with my Mrssouthernbelle email account... but I have recently received a few emails from people saying that they sent emails to be included in the swap. Unfortunately, I never received those.

SO!

If you are interested in joining the swap for round two, please comment on this post. Leave your email address and blog address if you have one. The deadline for this sign up is tonight. I will send out an email with swap partners tomorrow (Wed). Due to time limits, it will probably be best if this is a shoppers only category. All of the other rules apply from before.

This is your last chance!

Im here...

I went to the Dr this morning. I apparently have some sort of infection that my lymphnodes are trying hard to fight off. Since the mystery infection isnt visible the Dr cant give me any antibiotics to treat it. He doesnt want to just put me on anything since Im pregnant. Instead he gave me a stronger pain killer and hopefully my body will finally be able to kick this in the next few days.

In the meantime, I've been instructed on Dr' orders to eat a lot and gain weight over Thanksgiving. I think I can handle that. Mac N Cheese and Lemon Ice Box Pie here I come!!!

Crappy Weekend

This is a mopey complaining post... If you dont want to hear it, then just skip this post.

Pregnancy does really weird things to your body. I woke up 5 days ago with a little bit of what I thought was a sore throat in my neck glands. I figured "oh great, Im getting sick" Well that pain has progressively spread up to my ear. I went to my primary care Dr. on friday, and he basically told me that I was pregnant and he didnt feel comfortable treating me. In between text messaging and taking a phone call, he also suggested to refer me to a physical therapist.

I nearly walked out, then said "Do I LOOK like I want to go to a physical therapist??"

I called my OB's office and they told me it sounded like a strained muscle and things to do to help treat it. Well its been 3 days, 3 sleepless nights, and a bottle of Tylenol, and I still feel like crap.

Awesome.

I had plans this weekend... I was going to paint the nursery, put up Christmas decorations, clean the house, and get laundry done. Instead, I have laid around, in pain, feeling horrible.

I really hope this goes away soon...

Off to find my icepack.
