i want a hippopotamus for christmas... la la la... that silly *annoying* song has been in my head on and off ever since i did the christmas caroling with KOOL FM a couple of weeks ago.  i never really knew the song and i still don't really but my ears perk up now everytime i hear it on the radio.  it's funny how you never really notice a song until it's been drilled in your head involuntarily... although, i suppose in my case, it was voluntary since i joined the choir.  eh... whatever.

anyway... i was sitting at my desk today sniffling away... frustrated that i was sick because i felt like i was blowing my nose every 2 seconds... and looking around, zoning out.  i saw my little hippo friend sitting at the base of my lamp where he's been for the past few years.  i don't even remember where he came from... i think a friend gave it to me as a gift.  he's so cute... i love that he's there to keep me company.  guess i don't need a hippopotamus for christmas because i have him.
