I've been a little off all day today.
I truly think it's because I parted my hair on the left-side today.

Sock on her head, drool on her chin... "Fun" is her middle name.

...my Christmas decor is up.
And, I bought the cute little white tree and I heart it.
(That is not my tree at left.)
Photos will be forthcoming.
**May it be noted that I really, really, really miss all of my Christmas decorations that are currently in storage in Ohio.

I was cleaning out my online work spam inbox and ran across these two treasures from Bobbie Hargove and Orville Fowler, respectively.
I smiled.

Before Lila joined this family we NEVER fed Ferg anything other than dog food or the occasional snack when she did something outstanding... like sit.
Then, Lila was born and we were merely existing in a sleep-deprived, catatonic state struggling with taking care of the newborn, let alone ourselves and, well... Ferg.
Hence Ferg's current propensity for scrambled eggs.
We started feeding Ferg table scraps (good for her stuff!) after The Cupcake was born because, well... we felt guilty. And, nothing quells guilt better than food.
So, yesterday morning I gave Ferg some of our leftover scrambled eggs. Note, they had red pepper, green pepper, onion, sausage and tomato in them. On a good morning, I normally pick out (yes, I do) EVERYTHING but the sausage and eggs and give them to Ferg.
This particular morning I just didn't feel like it. She's a dog, right? EAT it. Beggars can't be choosers.
Actually, they can.
Ferg showed me yet again that she doesn't like green peppers, red peppers, tomatoes or onions.
Flippin' Ferg.
That Ferg.

Mad Men from this past Monday was terribly boring. Disjointed and terribly boring. It was the first episode in which I thought several times, "Wow. I'm bored."
And Betty Draper, January Jones, is one of the worst actresses I've seen since Rosie-"You-are-like-wet-sand-in-my-underwear"-Perez.*
Yup. You heard it here.
*10,000 points to the person who remember the movie that Rosie's character says that unforgettable line. 'Twas one of my faves.

So a while back I got my hands on a Mary Kay Microdermabrasion set for half off. (A friend's sister was having a going-out-of-business sale.) It retails for $55.
I love it.
First let me say, I'm a huge fan of skin masks. I adore a good revitalizing scrub that leaves my skin feeling soft and yes, dare I say it, "supple."
(Ew. I loathe that word as much as I hate the word, "moist.")
That said - this did the trick. I'd even pay full price for it.
First, you do a gentle scrub for 2 minutes, then you put some sort of refining serum (or something) on your skin afterward. My.skin.was.so.soft. I have dry skin and this worked perfectly.
I've used it several times now and again, I love it.
Give it a whirl.

As it turns out I'm looking for a super-cute, personalized stocking for The Cupcake.
Which do you like?
Do you have any cuter ideas?
I'm very open to suggestions that are affordable.
I'd hate to have to cut off Lila's arm in exchange for an uber-cute stocking.

...what would you be or what would you do?
Start up costs aside, reality aside.
The FIRST thing that comes to your mind...
UPDATE: Include what you do NOW. I'm curious.

Iris Took got me thinking after her recent post...
The word, "email"...
Should it ever be plural?
Queston in point:

Bring on the decking of the halls.
I washed my brand new Christmas salt & pepper shakers today and I am ready.to.go.
Yes, I'm ready to festoon my home with various holiday embellishments as I usher in my favorite season of the year.
Indeed, I'm well aware that Thanksgiving is right around the corner and that Christmas occurs after Thanksgiving.
I just happen to think that Thanksgiving is best when celebrated in a home filled with ornaments, red and green decorations and twinkling lights.
I LOVE CHRISTMAS for so many reasons.
Even though I'm on a strict spending freeze, I totally have my eye on a white plastic Christmas tree at Mega. (The grocery store.)
It's just tacky enough... I believe it's screaming my name. Stay tuned.
