not a creature was stirring, especially Dawn...

this moment brought to you by "you know you're getting old when..."

so i laid down on the couch last night, all psyched up to watch the "Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer" Christmas special. i haven't watched it in a couple of years now & i was ready to get myself into the holiday spirit. jolly & merry & full of cheer & all that jazz. (says the Scrooge whose Christmas tree will be in storage this year lol) what happens? 8pm Dawn is watching Sam the Snowman narrarate the story of how Rudolph became a hero the year of the Great Blizzard...at 8:20 i was peacefully sleeping. i woke up just in time to see Rudolph guiding Santa's sleigh to rescue the misfit toys in time for Christmas morning. sad that hundreds of little children made it all the way through the special wide awake & i didn't even make it to the second commercial break.
