Don't we look happy and well fed? My Peeps from the left: Susan (a new friend), me, My Favorite Redhead, and Lynnie Poo. By this point, My Favorite Local Celebrity had to leave us for her bartending gig (but she looked soooo cute in her new skirt/boots/overcoat combo!), and I had switched from vodka gimlets to bottled water. I was wearing my spankin' new green birthday coat (thank you, Mother-In-Law!) from BB Dakota , bought at the locally owned Gigi's Boutique. I did manage to get a good pic of My Favorite Local Celebrity at her bartending gig (below). She's on the right.
Anyhoo, I did get a bit of holiday shopping done, and I don't think I'm the only person with this problem: What do you get the kid who has everything? I struggle with this every year, and usually end up getting clothes, or- worse yet- books (at least from the kid's point of view). Now, I know that I would be geeked with nice clothes or a good book, but when you're seven, the aunt that gives you clothes or books is L-A-M-E. So I think I'm gonna get the kid this game I saw on the television called djubi . And maybe a cool t-shirt for good measure.
So that was Friday. Saturday and Sunday were spent getting creative with left overs, squeezing in a workout at the YMCA, and being surprised that I was not hung over. Really! Now I just need to start hiding all of the displaced items laying around the house (due to the Neverending Renovation) so I can decorate my house all sparkly like. I think I may even host a cookie exchange...
I hope everyone had a lovely holiday surrounded by people they love, and spent the rest of the weekend making themselves happy. Have a great week!

I can't get to the link of that toy you posted. Something's goofed up. Anyhoo. I'll search for it and let you know what I think.
Oi. I adore that photo of myself. The Mario Bros are so often handsy-like at the tavern. Bummed that I missed out on the rest of the evening's frolicsomeness (that's a real word; I just looked it up), but thank you for the compliment on the coat. I liked yours very much but was far too caught up in my own to say something. Boo to me. When's this cookie deal? Is it a competition? I'm in.
Red- I fixed the link to djubi. Bridge- its not REALLY a competition, but we all know a shitty cookie when we see one. I, personally, will be channeling Martha Stewart.
