Right now, I am... feeling accomplished because I put together a succulent terrarium that is a Christmas gift for someone, and it looks fabulous. Now I just need to not somehow kill it for the next week. trying to be quiet because Ian is sleeping. He's working night...
Operation Xmas (also know as Operation Christmas Tree) was a success! We picked out a tree in record time, got it onto the roof of the car with some help from the Home Depot guy, got it home and into the house and into its base. It was tall and beautiful and...
1. This is an approximation of what I ended up wearing to the first of Ian's work holiday parties last night: This dress just came in the mail yesterday afternoon, which was perfect. I'd been lusting after it on ModCloth for months and months, and it finally...
I am still super super excited about this: Les Misérables - Extended First Look and Official Trailer. I quite literally can't watch that second one without tearing up. That song! I'm going to be a mess in the movie theater. Young Adult Gets Old: Bridging the genre gap...
1. I am still trying to catch up on everything I missed over T-day break. I've managed to get the email and work stuff under control, but I'm still going through blog posts in my reader and such. It is one of my missions over the weekend! 2. I've got a very rough...

1. I really want to meet more local bloggers (in person!), but there doesn't seem to really be a local blogger meetup, at least not of the lifestyle/non-professional blog kind. Which means I should probably just organize one myself if I want it to happen. But...
Linking up with Lena for the Tuesday 10. This week's theme: If I won the lottery, the first 10 things I'd buy or do are: 1. Pay off all of my debt (credit cards, car loan, medical bills). 2. Give a big chunk of it to my mom. 4. Stick some in savings (some in...
Right now, I am... trying to get rid of the hiccups I got from the root beer I drank with lunch. plotting ways to spend my evenings, since Ian is working late shift this week. getting ready to go to the post office to mail out a clothing swap and a custom print....
