Rebecca's saying it one more time: "Freedom, little seal!"

The only good thing about cold weather (and I do mean the only good thing) is that Sable doesn't usually want to go on long walks when it's cold. But now that it's a little warmer, he wants longer walks, and since I usually take him out right before I go to work, I either get to work late or have to yank on him a lot. Maybe tomorrow I'll wake up a little early and take him out longer.

The Critics Choice Awards happen tomorrow!! I plan to make some kettle korn and watch the entire ceremony, even though the only category I'm really interested in is Best Young Actor/Actress. Two young actresses are nominated (Saoirse Ronan and Bailee Madison), and Bailee is going to attend for sure and Saoirse probably will too. I finally saw her in The Lovely Bones, which I stole borrowed from work last weekend and watched with Sara. It was very disappointing (all the more so because I had been looking forward to it for so long!) but I don't blame Saoirse. In Roger Ebert's hilariously scathing review, he calls her "a very good young actress who cannot be faulted here."
