i spent it on the sofa staying up way too late to watch this great flick....it instantly took me back to high school circa 1994 (the clothes and the clunky mary janes- painful)....but i adore this movie (and the soundtrack). i couldn't quite remember what it was about but the second it popped on my tv, i was hooked...singing 'my sharona' and suddenly liking ethan hawke again (greasy hair and all)....hope you are spending your time off eating chocolate pie, watching cheesy movies, and loving every minute of it :)

you better not pout i'm telling you why....
i am officially signing off to go and eat breakfast with my fam, look at the "small tree" with a ridiculous amount of gifts under it, and remember what christmas is really all about. i hope y'all have a wonderful holiday and thank you so much for a fabulous 2008. i could have never imagined having a response like this when i randomly created this blog. y'all are the best and have made me a better designer/ person b/c of it. wishing you and your family a merry christmas and happy new year- much love, pink wallpaper

can you believe its the week of christmas??!! i have officially started my holiday vacation and am enjoying spending time with my family. last night, dad and i went and got/dug up a tree (yes, dug up one). we went to a christmas tree farm and my dad didn't like the idea of cutting it down, so he asked the man for a shovel and put the little guy in a bucket...after christmas, he is going to plant it in their yard next to last year's tree. he's a lot nicer to the trees then we are...kind of makes me feel bad for our "cut" down tree. i guess we will be decorating it sometime today...it's a small guy much like these...i guess the older/wiser you get, the less you desire having a huge tree to decorate.
we have many things on our list today to tackle: wrapping presents, painting an adorable gift my dad made tay (he's so good, i can't wait to show y'all), buying some stocking stuffers, making christmas cookies...the list goes on and on...i hope y'all are enjoying time w/ your fams as well and not reading this silly blog at work...and if you are, tell your boss that working during the holidays is for losers :)

well by now i am sure all of your homes are decorated perfectly for christmas, right? or you could be like me who started w/ a big bang and then it just dwindled off (like never finding my wreath hanger and so my fresh wreath has been sitting on the bench outside for two weeks)....

how cute is this little diddy that was in my inbox this AM? love the fact that urban electric does custom coloring w/ a majority of their light fixtures....nothing says christmas like kelly green!! i'm off to eat cheese cubes and goldfish...aka my daughter's school christmas party! have a great day!
