Just Delightful.

Meredith's book bag was full of surprises for me this afternoon. One of which was:

A Candy Cane.

Did you know peppermint actually increases function in the brain? 

True fact, I learned it here at University. 

So, what have I been doing all evening at the library? 

Sucking on that white and red delight and getting smarter by the second. 

And also, peppermint always reminds me of the gem of a movie, Anastasia, so that makes me happy, too.

Today my teacher announced we have exactly nineteen days of class left. 

Oh my, Christmas!

Can't wait for those gingerbread ladies. Can't wait for the Christmas tree. Can't wait to listen to Donny Osmond's Holiday tunes. Can't wait to roll up in a blanket on my orange chair and read "The Jolly Christmas Postman." Can't wait to be home.
