Idol hands and what I'm reading this week

It's been a pretty good week.  As usual, I'm glad it's Friday and the weekend is at hand.  We've got eye doc appointments this morning.  Hooray?

I've been listening to the Christmas Music Choice channel and I'm sure the Mr will begin developing a twitch and soon.  Actually, I think it's time to break out Billy Idol's Christmas album.  Good luck finding it though, it was a limited edition.  Yes, for those who don't know, he released a Christmas album in 2006 and it's quite awesome.  My vinyl loving music fiend friend says it's an abomination.  I say seeing him sing White Christmas over White Wedding in a jazzy style makes me want to dry hump him holiday style.

But enough about my odd musical proclivities, let's get to...

We're going to a Christmas light display this weekend.  I need to get in the holiday spirit and this usually helps.  We were planning on paddling early in the day but it looks like it's not even going to hit 50 so that's probably out.

What are you guys up to this weekend?
