Chirstmas Time is Here...almost.

Question: Weird that I still picture this (see below) to be the ideal  Christmas shopping?

Answer: Yes.  While pictures like this make me feel warm and fuzzy inside (literally, TMI?), I know they aren't a reailty I reallly want.  One, I don't like crowds while shopping, yes I am that customer behind the long line of 20 huffing.  And two, while shopping in snow may make for a great photo op, it's not my ideal.  Still, I feel warm and fuzzy when I look at pictures such as these.  Thank you, google images for keeping my Holiday cheer bright and merry!

Weekend Update

As I've mentioned previously, Joel and I are officially living together, as roommates, and while we've been settled for some time it wasn't until today that I felt our precious little apartment was ready for the world to see (and yes, when I see world, I mean my you all).  Enjoy, I have been! Stop one on the house tour express, living room.  

*please note, the before pictures were taken in a different apartment, therefore they are not exactly the same*

Oh Christmas Tree

Joel and I put our Christmas tree up this week and now I'm often found laying on the couch, just gazing at my lovely little fake tree (courtesy of my sister).  We purchased the lovely little lobster and guitar ornaments this past weekend in Vermont and I'm nearly obsessed with them.  Mostly because they're the first ornaments we've bought together.  It's exciting times in my life and you should all be jealous.  

Weekend Update

Joel and I were lucky enough to spend the weekend in Vermont with his family.  We stayed in this amazing house (as seen below) with a view to match (also, as seen below).  It was the perfect weekend because it consisted of two of my favorite things: outlet shopping and food.  Crab cakes benedict and 40% off J.Crew.  I'm a fan.  Hope your Thanksgiving weekends were as enjoyable as mine.

Weekend Update

No I haven't lost track of time, and yes I realize it is now Thursday and I am just now posting my weekend update.  The weekend started out pleasantly, I dressed appropriately for the Halloween season as Wendy, which was welcomed by a friend as, "truly embracing my gingerhood."  Then Saturday happened.  Parts of New  England (and I'm not forgetting about you Jersey) were hit terribly hard with a snow storm on Saturday night.  There's been a lot of damage and my house is still without power!  Luckily my family and I have escaped to our condo in the Berkshires, but it looks as though it will still be a while before power is restored.  Here's a little preview of what we've all been dealing with this past week.
