Junior League Holiday Market has come and gone, so I can finally resume my normal life and start to really enjoy the holiday season!
So, to get me back up to speed, I am creating a landfill of my most recent activities and thoughts…
* Holiday Market wound up looking fantastic! It was tiring and time-consuming, but in the end, completely worth it. However, I am not sure I will ever stop finding minuscule squares of glitter in my hair. We are going on a solid 9 days of Glitter Discovery each morning when I blow-dry my hair. (I think I must be excreting glitter from my pores. Festive.)
I stole these pictures from the Decorations Chair, Erin’s, blog to show you some of our handy-work...
* Last week, I managed to not only decorate a 40,000 square foot building, but I somehow also managed to decorate my own tiny 1,400 square foot home. I am not sure which was more taxing... However, now that it's done, it feels incredibly nice to have the house all Christmasy and cheerful, and it was finished just in the nick of time for friends to come over to grill some burgers and watch some good old football. Go Tigers!
* David and I spent our Saturday bonding over this mountain of leaves. We guesstimate that there are probably one million leaves in this pile. Or at least that's what the blisters on my hands are telling me.
* I've got some splendid recipes to share with you now that I am back to blogging. You won't be disappointed. One involves bacon and the other involves soy sauce. In my opinion, you really can't go wrong with either ingredient.
* The other Friday, I was feeling rather lazy and tried to wear my slippers to work with corduroys. I walked into the kitchen and David immediately looked at my feet and raised his eyebrows. He asked me if I was really going to wear those things to work. And I replied "Yes, I am really going to wear these to work. What's wrong with them??" And he responded "Um, they look like slippers. Let me see the bottom of them. I bet they don't even have a rubber sole."
I grudgingly held up a foot for him, and proved him right. The sole is actually this soft felt material. I don't see anything wrong with shuffling up and down the carpeted hall at work on a Friday in my slippers. The only reason I decided against it is because I have only been married not even a year, and I can't let David think that his wife is already letting herself go.
Also, in hindsight, it could be a violation of the dress code at work. I keep forgetting to check and see if wearing slippers to work is frowned upon.
