Wrapping it up.

It's been a while and I swear I tell myself so often to write more because it's a hobby and stuff. Sometimes time just doesn't allow for us to do hobbies and stuff unless you are my husband which demands no matter what even if the Earth is ending, he will play golf on Wednesdays. 

Moving right along. We had a great Thanksgiving. Well, from what I remember. Haha. It was totally a wine, appletini kinda day, but I finished it by blaring Christmas music and singing said music at the top of my lungs in the car. Poor, E.

We typically spend Thanksgiving with both our families, but with my Mom's surgery it just didn't work out for them to be here with us. It was the first time in my entire life to spend this holiday without my family hence the singing and blaring of music. The food was delish, the company was great and my spiced caked pumpkin trifle was incredible!

Loves:

 I love to bake and cook!!!

 Love this guy. With all my heart. Maybe I love his fried turkey too. 

We are gearing up for our vacation and Christmas...maybe my birthday too! It's going to be such a busy December, but I wouldn't have it any other way. 

 Loving that E decorated our house with my favorite simple yellow lights. Just love our red door.

 Loving my typed directions for our precious Marley.

Hopefully, we will have big news to report in the upcoming months!!! 

Loving.

Believing.

Post Christmas.

Christmas has come and gone which really makes me sad. It's kind of like your wedding day because you anticipate the traveling, family time, good food, booze and gifts. It comes and then leaves so quickly only to come another year (unlike a wedding). We had a fabulous Christmas this year and of course ate too much and drank too much. What's a girl to do? Say no to homemade egg nog? I don't think so. 

We received so many great gifts, but my favorite is this fancy little number! I was shocked to see that my Pops knew that Tory Burch is a perfect bag.

She's a beauty. 

E's favorite has to be his Luchese burnt orange boots or his new gas\smoker grill. They are both pretty fabulous.

Someone gifted these to E. They are u-g-l-y.

AND- he will never wear them.

In reflecting on the arrival of a new year and my sadness of E being in Las Vegas this week, I was looking at pictures from our island getaway to cheer me up. It didn't really work. ;)

I don't have anyone to nag. Sad.

Happy New Year!

Best gift ever

We went over to our dear friends' house on Saturday to watch the UT game which was disastrous, but we will not talk about that. Bad news bears; I am hoping RGIII wins the Heisman as that would make it all okay for losing to the bad azz on Saturday. 

Anyhow, prior to leaving E was determined to have a Frito pie. I made chili last week and we saved a bit, so he bought some Frito's and made this...

HUGE

He couldn't eat it all, ha. He ate about half and then took a nap. It was a rainy, cold weekend here so it was totally allowed. :)

K decided that she couldn't wait to give me my Christmas gift and of course I obliged since I absolutely love gifts. She knows me so well: I love mason jars and I love wine. 

E made Sunday sauce last night, so I poured myself some Chianti. Stinkin' hilarious! 

Best. Gift. Ever.

I hate Mondays. I hate being at work. I hate that fact that I haven't bought a single Christmas gift. I hate the fact that my gray is so bad I have to wear my hair back all week. Sigh. Where is the bottle of wine and my mason jar?
