Technically it would take 8 days to eat this box of Goobers
BAAAWAAAHAHAHAHA!!!! (Chris laughing). I know it sounds loopy but I’m gonna give it try because the “look at the French, they eat all those rich sauces and cheeses and never gain an ounce” reasoning kinda tickles my emotional eating fancy and I’m still one of those women who believe the French have life figured out.

Holly Golightly knew how to treat a morning
Sleeping late on New Year’s Day is one of the many pleasures mommies never get to enjoy…2012, you’re already my oyster!
Happy New Year, kitty cats! May your days go lightly and may all the weather reports bring you prosperity! And if you don’t know what I’m talking about when I say “weather reports” put Breakfast At Tiffany’s under your resolution to be a better person, it will definitely do the trick!

At first I wasn’t going to post this but after wearing them 80 + hours over the last 5 days I feel like everyone in B-town has seen them and I have this insane need (vanity) to keep showing them off!
I don’t know how he did it, especially considering I’ve tried on every style, make and model of boot from Atlanta to Oregon via Texas, New Mexico and California in the past 5 years and have not been able to find a single pair that didn’t have some sort of “meh” about them…price stopped being an issue about 3 years ago when I started sacrificing my jeans budget for a healthier boot budget… but somehow he found the perfect fit, cut, length, color, style, distress, shape, heel, comfort, sexy yet casual, ornamental yet functional, no floral inlay, no crystals, no crosses, hand stitched, lizard (inside and out), Hecho En Mexico with an extra je ne sais quoi that magically makes my lips curl into a sly grin, amazing boots and I love him for it!
All compliments, oohhs and aahhs can be left in the comments section at the bottom of this post… or emailed, FB’d to friends, tweeted and shouted from the rooftops near enough for me to hear.
Thought that just entered my mind – does his motive for gifting me fashion boots have something to do with my 5 year old garden / special occasion jeans? Are these actually just a hint for me to finally purchase something that doesn’t involve pockets over my kidneys? Hmmmm.

From my sister Fawn:
Pictures of kids are so cute
The only clue school is out in my neighborhood, is the obvious lack of school buses running thru it twice a day. You may think, as a NINK, I’d try to find an adults-only neighborhood, but I didn’t. In fact, children of all ages live here (I think). Between my house and the grocery store, there’s an elementary school, a middle school, a high school, and a daycare center. I actually expected to be awakened early by the yells and laughter of kids on Christmas break. There are several cul-de-sacs for kids to play in and nice wide streets for them to bike, run, or toss a frisbee (cars are parked in garages or driveways), but school’s been out a week and they are not outside playing. Where are they? What are they doing?

Max proves that good always conquers bad!
While decorating the tree I pulled up the original “How The Grinch Stole Christmas” and found myself laughing at a million holiday memories this precious little cartoon triggered. Mom was always so great about allowing the television specials (Charlie Brown, The Grinch, Rudolf, Frosty) to be a big production in our house. She’d hurry us through our bath and dinner routine… in the good way, not the usual “If you don’t get your scrawny butt out of that tub you’re gonna regret what happens next!” way… Continue reading
