My Christmas Involved:
- Pressies galore. I actually love watching people open their presents. At showers not so much but on Christmas, I love it.
Christmas at my uncle's
- Froggie feet belonging to my aunt. She's in her 50s. I adore her. To the max.
- Most days with just 3-5 hours sleep. Lack of sleep only makes the cranky pants feel tighter and stay on longer.
- Thankfully, a day or two filled with LOTS of sleep. Better to be unconscious than spread
Christmascranky cheer. - S not wearing the Puck-Hawk out. BOO. He said he felt "too much like a rocker". Or a caveman. This from a guy *dressed for the shower*, which I think is what led to the caveman look. But whatevs. Next time I will wear him down and get him to wear it for out before shaving it all off.
- Plaid, leopard print and acid wash. But not all together. I promise.
- Two turkeys. Cause you can never get enough.
Turkey #2 fresh out of the oven, the only way I like birds.
- Cake and yummy goodness. When you stuff cranky pants with chocolate, things always get better.
- A painted washroom, a beautiful mirror and new lights! My Birthday(September) and Christmas pressie wrapped in one. It took a *wee bit* longer than I had hoped but it was worth the wait. I love it. I love my S.
- A new sparkly light fixture for our bedroom
to stop the whiningjust cause. I love my S.
No idea why the daylight is making our walls look blue, because they're
"Edgecomb Gray"...which is just fancy for beige :)
Hope y'all had the best Christmases and Holidays ever!!!

ReplyDeleteLoved your comment...I would have slapped that woman too...though I had one friend respond to me after finding out I was engaged "are you pregnant" ummm yeah...not so much. You're right it's so much more about the marriage than the wedding...I'm so over this whole planning a wedding shiz I'm ready to just be married already!
ReplyDeletexoxo
Oh no.... why did my dear friend have a stylish pair of cranky pants on this Christmas?!?!
ReplyDeleteAnd I have been meaning to send you an email with my secret magic digits... but I have been working non stop... I am so pooped, but loving the opportunities I am getting at the firm. I feel like a zombie though... I go to work, come home, watch a quick bit of TV, sleep, and do it all again. Yikes!!
I promise we will chat soon though... this week is looking to be over before I know it but perhaps a nice chat on New Year's Day would work...
I hope those cranky pants are off to the cleaners and you've got your comfy happy pants on instead :)
And PS- the color in your room is exquisite!! Love it so!
Two turkeys?
ReplyDeleteI think it is the combination of pants and food and expectations of all fitting the same and the lack of sleep combined with the sleep inducing chemicals from the turkey that has really messed up your system. Or maybe you just need to pull a happier pair of pants from the closet?
ReplyDeleteMy advice get back to you normal routine ;).
OhEmmeGee the cake! I love cake to like, bits. Although, cupcakes OWN cake. Totally do. And your tree looks fab.
ReplyDeleteGlad you had a fab Christmas, E! You deserve it!
xmas and cranky goes hand in hand with me too. but its ALL OVER NOW! wweeeee!! LOVE your new lights, preettttyyy
ReplyDeleteThat cake is making me faint. Soo pretty and delicious looking...sigh.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you had a good Christmas, even if it was a little stressful. :) I hope you have an even better New Year!
Wow that light fixture is awesome. Mmm turket looks good. Haven't had a whole roast turkey before, only turkey drums - will have to have another CHristmas and try it out one year.
ReplyDeleteSorry I haven't visited in a while - it's been so busy that I haven't hardly had time to visit my own blog!
HOpe all is well with you and S and the rest of your family.
Awww, I'm sure you're not that bad as a cranky pants ;-) Love those frog slippers your aunt is wearing! And two turkeys? I'm impressed!
ReplyDeleteLoving the decor. Hope you post a photo of your bathroom, because I LOVE bathroom decor.
ReplyDeleteN refuses to re-do our bedroom on account of our potential move to Hawaii in a year or two, but that's no excuse NOT to have a grown up, NON early twenties, still college dormy boudoir!
