Tuesday's Tidbits

Camden and Rory were a part of the Christmas program at school last week, and Rory keeps telling us how excited she was to sing in a conference (a.k.a. concert).

I know the whole Elf on a Shelf thing is super popular, but I feel as if he's taken over Facebook, Pinterest, Instagram, blogs, etc. Sooooo over him. Ducking and running now. (although my friend Melissa L. has the best ideas I've seen)

My Starbucks habit has had a revolutionary change. Did you know you can ask for just half the syrup (pumps of peppermint/caramel, etc.)? Oh. My. Stars. Not only does it save you a whole lot of calories, it tastes so much better to me. A regular one starts to get too sweet after the first couple of drinks.

After literally sleeping the weekend away (seriously, it was like my body was catching up on all the sleep I'd lost over the last couple of weeks), I've now slept a grand total of about 6 hours in the last 48 hours. So. Tired.

I know you're going to feel as if you're reading the wrong blog when I type this next sentence, but you're in the right place. Get ready . . . . . I bought fabric last night to make my own pillows and even a little quilt.

I'm off to meet my friends Tina and Kathy for lunch at The Silly Goose. Coincidentally (wink, wink) it is right next to Jeni's so you know we're going to have to make a little detour. I feel as if it's my duty to introduce them to the best ice cream on earth.

And a Christmas page from last year. Credits here.
