Gary and I saw this last night for the first time . . . you just see santa running, and we think “why is santa running in slow motion?”
We continue to watch to see why, instead of flipping the channel over for Gary to play his game. Check it out, it’s great advertising:
I think it was Tuesday that I helped my parents decorate the Christmas Tree. I love ornaments . . . they remind me of decorating the tree when I was little, and getting to see the ornaments I don’t see for a whole year is comforting in a way.
My mom made some of the ornaments, like the little carousel horse you see, and some of the ornaments are replica old fasioned ornaments that I love too.
5 days left!

WELL, Dooney and Bourke have a lot of purses I don’t like . . . mostly because they are so chunky and the zippers are so hard to open on a lot of them. BUT I do like some of them, and I got myself the red tartan bag, which is SO Christmas-ey and SO festive, but I can only wear that bag with certain outfits since it’s a pattern.
Birthday gift #2 (also early) from my mom was Dooney that I can wear anytime, spring, summer, with Jeans. Whee! Its super cute too!
I love the details, especially the multi-coloured zipper
This makes me think we should all have a year of purses . . . JS January, Fendi February, Michael Kors March, etc. haha . . . if only there were enough sales, bigger closets . . . 
There’s something special about getting a letter, a card, a well thought out package in the mail, and I have Always loved sending and receiving things by post.
Every year, I send out Christmas cards, and every year, it seems like less people do, which is fine, but my list has been narrowed down a lot over the years as well.
Like spring cleaning, I like to do a “winter cleaning” of my address book. Remove duplicates, merge couples, add random e-mails that belong to an existing contact, etc.
Well, this year I took my 900 something contacts, and got them down to 882, and I’m sure I could clean up a bit more, but good enough for now.
What I’m most happy about is my ‘Christmas Card List’ Group, which will make it easier each year to figure out how many cards I want to send out, and I can add people to that list gradually instead of going through my ever-growing contact list each year. I can also look through the much smaller list and weed out people that we don’t keep in touch with as much.
Our Christmas cards should be in the mail towards the end of the week, so check your mailboxes for a lil’ piece of cheer and happy from us!

Like Christmas, Birthday gifts seldom wait until the actual day . . . which is fine with me . I am more than fine with having a Birthday extended weekend, Birthday week, Birthday Month. December is a full month of celebration anyway 
I got my first Birthday gift from Gary last week.
“He went to Jared” . . . “he went to Jared!?” haha, yes that’s what I said, and that’s what my friend Adrienne said -lol
It’s not a piece I would have picked out for myself, but the more I look at it, the more i like it – and blue goes with my daily wardrobe of jeans 
I saw this antenna topper when I was up north and thought it was so festive for Thanksgiving and didn’t get a chance to post it til after
When I was in Boston a few weeks ago, we were at a restaurant called Skipjack’s (the atmosphere was great, the food was decent, but nothing super special) but they did have cool dyson hand blow dryers that were nicer and prolly faster then the Xlerator hand driers (haven’t researched it, nor care to) but these were super neat looking anyway in the bathrooms.
So today I remembered something from when I was in 3rd grade . . . don’t ask me what made me think of it, but during a bathroom break in school, there was one toilet that was broken, and on a continuous flush cycle. Valentine (pronounced Valenteen) said “I’m going to try using it” and she proceeded to . . . well . . . use it. After she finished, and came out – the other girls I was with and I asked “so how was it?” Valentine said in a cheerful and exact tone “it was very wet.
HAHAHA, thanks for the funny memory Valentine. Hopefully you’re out there keeping life exciting
Well, Gary went to Texas for a few days and he brought me back this adorable little thing. I took the photo with my 5mp Droid camera phone (more about that in another post and I used the App PicSay to create the comic text
I needed a headset that I could use on Vent, and got the Dynex DX-840 from Best Buy. The main reason I got it, was because I needed something I could hear Gary, TV, or radio with one ear and have the other listening to Vent. Super easy plug and play usb, and sound quality is great.
If ya need a headset to use with your ‘puter, check it out for about $25.00
