Christmas Countdown Fact #1

     LOOK!!! I have a pretty new blog background. I had been trying since last night to change my background to reflect the holiday & season. But I am technology intolerant and could not do so. I had texted my BFF (and not calling her that in a sarcastic way) Michelle for help, but alas she chose to not head my call. However this morning she swore to me that she'd fix me up right and change the background. And staying true to the awesome person she is....she was very patient as I surfed the net for the *right* background and then fought the codes until she got it right for me. Thank you Michelle......you're always there for me when I need you.
     Also, today marks December 1, 2010. Which means there is only 24 more days until Christmas, and only 30 more days until the new year! Where did the time go? The house is slowly but surely getting decorated, and I still have no idea what to get my mom and aunt for Christmas. I have to get them *something*.  Anyway, to keep in the holiday spirit and to make the days until Christmas a little more joyful I've decided to blog something Christmas/winter related every day. So here we go:

Fact # 1:     Historians have traced some of the current traditions surrounding Father Christmas, or Santa Claus, back to ancient Celtic roots. Father Christmas's elves are the modernization of the "Nature folk" of the Pagan religions; his reindeer are associated with the "Horned God," which was one of the Pagan deities.

BODIES (Musical Fun-a-palooza) {Two-fer-Tuesday pt.1}

Okay....so I was all set to blog this morning, and share some scary stuff about myself...in order to get my chubby-ass back on track with the diet. Then, when I was perusing the blogs which I follow, came across one from my girl Michelle...which made me stop and run upstairs to get my I-pod. You'll see what project she had me work on in just a second. But this also made me decide that on Tuesdays I will post TWO entries, making it Two-fer-Tuesday. Oh aren't y'all so lucky? LoL. So post back my friends...but be forewarned, that my answers with this musical questionaire even scared myself.

Back to blogging

     So here it is. I find myself back on my old 'home', blogger. Why? Who the heck is really going to read this? Isn't that what FB is for? To keep up with the daily lives of your friends? Well.....I'm back here because my dearest treasure, my best friend in the whole wide world, Michelle posed the simple question: 'when are you going to start blogging again?'
      Damn, although I remembered my old blog title, I had no way to remember what my sign-on and password was, and Google wasn't much help with hooking me up with that information. So I had to think up a brand new, and witty blog site title, and go through the painful decisions of what background I wanted for it...and the dreaded profile picture. And if anyone knows me...yes it is painful for me to make a decision, as I always have a hard time picking something. But yet, here I am. Back on blogger. And with the witty blog title Brown-Eyed Girl's Glance at the World. And ooohhhhhhhhhhhhhh, how clever am I with the title...because uh...yeah I've got brown eyes.
     And I have to give props to Michelle. <3 Love you <3, sista from another mista....because it feels good to be back blogging. The words seem to just flow. Maybe this will be a form of therapy for me too. And hopefully....you will be entertained....readers out there *cricket....cricket....cricket* is anyone out there? Because sometimes I can be funny. Yeah, I said it. But alas, I have to go and watch some old-time classic horror movies...because you know it's my favorite month of the year.
