'Tis the Season


... for sequined dresses, glitter all over the house, baked goods, friends and family, giving, red lipstick, parties, snow, love, mistletoe, all-day holiday festivities with friends.

The last few years I have attended St. Thomas More's Holiday Ladies' Luncheon. A fabulous event held at our Church: shopping, champagne, raffle, wine, auction, wine, shopping and then more champagne and wine. This year some of the ladies and I met at our place for a toast to the holidays and Jaima's birthday. We kicked the day of festivities off in style - mimosas and birthday candles in muffins!


In addition to shopping, fun with friends, lunch, raffle and auction - we really started to spread holiday cheer!


Jaima doing a candle dance, seated - impressive.

Feeling ever so festive, with a desire to spread even more holiday cheer - the party continued, all day. Best girl's day. All day-sining, dancing, eating, etc.

We started the evening in style, a Christmas party at Quinn's followed by late night Molca Salsa with the husb, Vigil and Patti. I love my friends and family and love this lil' thing we call holiday parties!
Cheers!
That moment when you look at your camera two days later... really great treasures:

Quinn's Black Tie Bash! Oh - and my vintage fur (thanks, Mom)


Happy Holidays!
XOXO

LID

Why do girls not put the lid down on the toilet?

Yes, yes, yes... to each their own but, I still ask the question. I am highly against open toilets. Shut the lid.

Crunchy sleeve

Bunchy
Uncomfortable
Cannot stand

That feeling when you put a jacket on over a 3/4 length top... sleeves bunch up in the jacket sleeve and the tight, crumply feeling of your sleeve stuffed into the jacket... terrible.

I need to invent a little tool that holds your sleeves down until the jacket gets on.

lunch date

Ahhh... enjoyed a much-needed lunch date this afternoon, with myself.



If you have not tried Toaster's Frenchy salad yet, do so. It's definitely one of my bi-weekly faces.
