I don’t care that Christmas already feels like it’s long gone and everyone is getting ready to ring in the new year and make themselves sick on shrimp cocktail and champagne. I want to talk about Christmas. Again. But with less “bah-humbug” and “OMFG I can’t believe I have to spend four days with my [...]

Every family has their own Christmas traditions. In a perfect world, my perfect Christmas would look like this:
Christmas Eve:
Cookie baking and Christmas movie marathon – The Grinch, Home Alone, Scrooged, Christmas Vacation, A Christmas Story, and a Charlie Brown Christmas (I own all of these except the last one, which I can usually find on [...]

Let’s see…I’ve been married about oh, 2.5 years now. Which means my bridal showers were approximately 3 years ago.
Ok, so 3 years ago, I had a bridal shower. I had three, actually, but that’s not important to this story. At one of these bridal showers, I received a gift from a relative – not sure [...]

3. A personal trainer. I’m sure my workouts* [...]

I drove to work this morning contemplating my favorite Xmas song. I turned the dial on the radio to the resident Christmas station – KEZK 102.5 – and I heard something that instantly transported me back to my college days (something I typically try to avoid, but this brought back one of the few happier [...]
My new favorite ornament

This week is flying by, more than likely because I spent Monday – Wednesday in North Carolina for work. I’m quite a fan of that state. What I am not a fan of is the Eastern time zone.
