I've officially started my Christmas shopping, though I can't really talk about my purchases here. Let's just say this: I am brilliant.

The other night I was in the kitchen and Bill was in the living room, watching VH1, as he is wont to do when unsupervised. He is such an enigma, that husband of mine. Anyway, he must have seen Christina Aguilera because he said to me, and I quote:

"Christina Aguilera is great. She is such an artist. A true artist."

Of course he was serious! That's why I love him.
