Do y’all have plans for New Year’s Eve?  For so many years, during my college days, I waitressed and bartended and spent many a holiday weekend working.  The time change where you “fall back” was the worst!  Great for the partiers, terrible for those behind the bar! Sometimes I would request off so I could join my friends on NYE and we always had a crazy great time.  But those were the young party days.  Now, we make it a much lower key event, often skipping going out altogether for just staying in.  Last year, we had an intimate dinner with two other couples out at a local restaurant and it was really fun to ring in the new year together.

Good morning friends and Happy Weekend to you!! Can you believe it’s only this weekend and next until Christmas?!  I definitely need to make this weekend a productive one and finish my shopping (and send the rest of our Christmas cards – #hangsheadinshame!).  I have no excuse on the cards, we’ve had them for a long time, I just need to finish addressing them and get them in the mail! I LOVE receiving cards and we’ve got ours displayed on a wall of our kitchen with washi tape this year.

But, I did get the nursery decorated! Did you see it?!  

We’re through an actually very productive weekend (finally photographed our Christmas tree and can’t wait to show you tomorrow!) and got lots of little chores done around the house too.  We’re even on the way to finishing our Christmas cards, although I still wish they’d already gone out.  One quirky thing I did over the weekend was get eyelash extensions.  Have you heard of that or tried it?  It seems it’s pretty popular in Houston, judging by how quickly the appointments fill up.  My mom wanted them for her birthday, so getting them together was a fun, (weird?) experiment.
