Holiday Week Highlights
Hey friends! I don’t know about you, but I’m still on holiday vacation mode…even though I’m at work, there’s just a mellow mood everywhere. And I LOVE it.
It was pouring rain all of Christmas, which made for a really cozy, quiet day and it was so nice to spend time with family.
I haven’t taken many pics, but wanted to share some highlights with you…
Sitting around a warm, cozy fire with Xmas music playing in the background…
Smowman sourdough bread…
Book of Mormon…such a funny, good show!
Lotsa time to stare at my shiny new ring…(yep, it was finally done at the jeweler’s!!)
And ordered new glasses…I’ve been needing new ones for a while and it’s nice to check it off my list.
And now I’m going back into work-mode (I’ve only gotten 3 emails all day..I think the whole country is on vacation!) and then more relaxing mode (wine with a friend tonight). What are you guys up to?
–Do you wear glasses? Or contacts? I wear contacts most of the time.
–Do you have a fireplace?I don’t at my apartment, but really wish I did.
-What’s the last musical you’ve seen? Have you seen Book of Mormon?

I finally switched to contacts last year because I got tired of only being able to see through my lenses while the periphery was still fuzzy. Contacts make everything clear.
But I still love the glasses look.

It’s also sold out in NYC for like months at this point. I love the music from the show, and love Andrew Rannells who was in the original cast. I’m a broadway geek haha

I’ve been curious about the Book of Mormon… glad to hear it was good! We recently saw Les Miserables (live). So amazing!! We’re thinking of checking it out in the movie theatre as well.

December 27, 2012 at 11:38 pm (145 days ago)Wow, your ring is gorgeous! So pretty! And that bread! I’m back at work and wish it had the same chilled vibe year-round.
I wear glasses but just for screen work. My boyfriend really wants to see The Book of Mormon when it comes to the UK but tickets are about $100!
I have a fireplace but am ashamed to say I don’t use it due to the messiness. It’s filled with logs, so at least it looks pretty!

December 28, 2012 at 4:15 pm (144 days ago)I used to have a fireplace in my TN apartment and I loved it. I would definitely be sitting by a fire right now if I had one : ) Looks like a fun week. That snowman bread is adorable!

December 31, 2012 at 9:33 am (142 days ago)I wear contacts and they drive me nuts. Half the time one eye is blurry or there’s something in my contact. I once got hit so hard in the head playing soccer that one actually popped out. Try playing soccer with only one eye! So annoying!
And gorgeous ring!
