MMM is Back!

31 Replies

With the all the cold weather and busyness of the season, it appears that I’m suffering a bit from writer’s block.  My mind has gone completely blank when it comes to writing pretty much anything, including emails, but hopefully it’s just a short-term condition.

However, it seems that James is working on getting past his bout of writer’s block.  He’s just recently posted an update and even a Motivational Music Monday song over at 50 in 50 Marathon Quest.  Okay… well… as it’s the week before Christmas, it’s actually a Christmas song, but still, he’s getting revved and ready for the New Year.

And you know me… I tend to follow suit with MMM.  As we just watched the fabulous TV special put on by Michael Bublé, I have a need to hear some caroling/serenading from the great MB! First up is a song from his album, Christmas, a classic performed by him and The Puppini Sisters (who sound quite a bit like The Andrews Sisters):

But I can’t stop there!  My favorite song from the Christmas album is actually MB’s version of Santa Baby (Santa Buddy).  Love the way he adjusts the words just a smidge (Santa Buddy, fill my stocking with Canucks tix, for kicks…):

I hope everyone is enjoying a very happy holiday season!

By the way, I was informed by my husband earlier, “You better hurry up and get things done today!  It’s the shortest day of the year you know…”  (Take a minute to process that… I’ll wait.)

    The good thing about the shortest day of the year is that they only get longer from here on out! But it’s snowing. Again. I really can pick the winters to train through, no, of course I couldn’t do it last year when we had almost no snow.

    I’ll just be dreaming about NOLA (and wearing Yaktrax, no doubt).

      I’m looking forward to more daylight, I have to admit! This year I refused to sign up for a race where I would have to train through the holidays and the cold winter, and I think I made a good choice! It’s been nothing but ice out there this year!
      Happy Hanukkah Judy! Are you ready for it? ;D

        Hannukah is not a big deal like Christmas. Although I really do need to check if I still have candles . . .

        I’m usually training in the winter, but not seriously til about March, when sometimes it lets up. Only this year I signed up for a half in March.

        Whatever doesn’t kill you makes you stronger!

        I hope you have a great holiday, Paula — you deserve it!

      Yes, that would be our Vancouver Canucks, believe it or not! Yeah, maybe they’re not that bad color-wise, but I’m just going to have to draw the line at hockey, hehe! You have extra time today? Hmmmm, they must not be keeping you busy enough… lol! ;D

      Lol, noooo, winter solstice has the shortest daylight hours… but every day has 24 hours regardless of the sunrise and sunset… and James was joking as if there were like only 8 hours to get things done as opposed to 24, :D. Our sense of humor, what can I say, 😉 . One year we’re thinking of completing the summer solstice run in Alaska which starts at midnight and doesn’t get dark. Cool, eh?!
