Christmas Fiasco!

December 23, 2010

Last year it was my Christmas cards. This year it is the chili.    I just burned a triple batch of chili I was making for our Christmas Even open house.  My house smells horrid and now I have to go back to the grocery store for more ingredients.  Agh!  I'm more made at the smell and how do you dispose of six million gallons of stinky burned chili?

All That Glitters

December 7, 2010

This year I decided to try a white/red/turquoise theme for my gift wrap.  It just looks prettier under my fabulous tree if the packages coordinate with each other.  So I got some white craft paper and sprung for some actual gift wrap this year.  It was so pretty: white with glitter.  See:

Well, it was a glitter fiasco!  Glitter was EVERYWHERE!  It was on me, my clothes, the floor, the gifts, the dog, the table, etc.  I had to put down paper to contain the mess.  See:

Lovely!  So your gift will be accompanied by some glitter.  Think of it as a bonus gift with purchase.

Kick It

December 1, 2010

Grace & I saw the Rockettes' Christmas show tonight. The Rockettes were spectacular!! And had the most amazing bodies...so toned and muscular but totally feminine. Their timing was perfect every time. We never tired of seeing the kick line. My favorite was the toy soldier number.
The other actors/dancers were like watching an episode of Glee. I understand there has to be fillers during the Rockettes costume changes, but the "Christmas Singers" in their red plaid from head to toe were a little hokey.
Overall it was something I recommend seeing. Especially if your date is as cute as mine.
