Holiday habits
Thursday, December 30th, 2010Here’s my real problem with Christmas. When it’s over, I can’t stop celebrating. I can’t stop eating cookies, cakes and candy. I can’t stop pouring that second glass of wine every night. I can’t stop shopping, and I can’t stop singing Christmas carols.

No snow
Tuesday, December 28th, 2010I know everyone out there doesn’t feel the same way as I do, but I was completely bummed out that we didn’t get the snow storm the day after Christmas.
