Today was another successful Christmas into the books. This christmas snuck up on me. Big time. I usually ease into the holidays, even when it seems like they've come upon me super quick. It all starts to slow down around Thanksgiving, and I get into the holiday...

Merry Christmas Eve everyone! Man...I remember being a kid, and how freaking exciting Christmas Eve was. Even when I knew Santa wasn't real, it was the most amazing night. We'd all get our PJs and watch a movie together as a family, and then it was off to bed. In my...

Twas the night before the night before Christmas and all through the house, pups were chomping on Whimzees and drooling from the mouth. I just read that sentence to the Ho, and she said she married right. Yesssssssss. We had a great day today. I FEEL BETTER. I...

Am I turning a corner on this whole cold thing? Could it be going away already? I hope so! I feel...better tonight. Still congested. Still had a fever for most of the day. But...better tonight I took it easy today. I read in bed, I took naps with the pups, I listened...

Oops I did it again, I played with your heart... ...and that lady next to me on the plane ride out here totally gave me a cold. DAMNIT! Almost to the exact day I got a virus last year, it's happened again. This really, really REALLY annoys me. Stuffy nose. Low-grade...

Today was all about Charlie, or as we like to call her, char char. Julianne was at work today, and rather than have her pup spend the day at doggie daycare like normal, we went over and took care of her. Guys...this dog...is so freaking sweet. All she wanted to do at...

What a day. What a day! We were driving home tonight and the Ho said in the car that it's so nice coming up here to Portland for Christmas. And I have to agree. I really, really love it. It's cool, it's wet, there's family here, and it's just...Christmas-y. I did love...

We made it north! Portland is cold and wet, my brother is here (and soon my parents), and gosh durn it if it doesn't feel like Christmas. Is it crazy to feel like grey, drizzly weather can be pretty? I definitely don't miss it ALL the time...but it does make it feel...

We are PREPPED and ready for Christmas, yo! Lots of packing today, lots of prepping, but we should be ready to go. I also FINISHED my read-through today. Uuuughh. Finally. I have all my notes down, all 19 pages of them, and the daunting task of implementing them is...

We went to Joe and Madhuri's Holiday party tonight, and it was sooooo muuuuuucchhh fuuuunnnnn. I guess we missed it last year because we were out of town already, but I'm so glad we got to go this year. We love those two, we really do. One of the very few peeps in our...
